Comments
HideHave you tried some of these popular Dutch home-cooked meals?
Hoi Sandra,
Thank you for your comment. :thumbsup:
I looked up "hutspot" on mijnwoordenboek.nl and 'hotchpotch' , 'hodgepodge' or 'hotpot' are all good translations
for the delicous 'hutspot'. :innocent:
Jacob,

For hutspot, I think the English translation should be "hodgepodge". I have never heard hotchpotch. Unless it's a British English translation?
Hoi Stan,
Dank je wel voor je reactie! Inderdaad erg lekker!!
Inderdaad echt eens een pannetje mosselen proberen en dan vooral in een Belgisch biertje klaarmaken.

Ik kan niet wachten om de gekookte mosselen te smaken.
Hoi Jasmine,
Thank you for your comment.
Ha! Lekker zeg, ik hou van een bal gehakt en bloemkool is een favoriete groente van me.
Vrolijk Kerstfeest!
