I love Dutch herring! I eat it whenever I'm there. I've had both Hollands nieuw and maatsje haring, both nice though the quality really is nice during the right season.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 2 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

The Dutch are very tall people. 6" average.

[–] Paper_Phrog@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I don't think its tall at all - its merely average to me.

[–] AlpacaChariot@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Six inches?

We have pickled herring as well but this one's raw.

You can tell by the pickle next to it. 😉

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There was a video about this somewhere.

Basically the Dutch never really developed a “cuisine” and they don’t have one. They don’t even give free meals at school, they care that little about food.

They’re mostly just a “I eat for sustenance” culture who loves snacking instead of actual meals.

The Dutch people I know are fully content just eating bread for every meal.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

I thought they all ate they same sandwich every day for lunch? Like all the kids already have that sandwhich with them when they come in to school, no need for free lunches.

Dont get me wrong this was a clickbait article and I am probably misremembering the country anyway.

Am I secretly Dutch?

If they ever invent a pill that I could take for perfect nutrition instead of food, I'd happily do it.

I think this is how my wife assumes I eat when left to my own devices.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

I totally would if it actually gave enough nutrition to live healthily off of. Having to eat is an annoyance.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Now with flavor!

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Not a pill, but things like Soylent exist

https://soylent.com/

[–] lardass@lemmy.zip 4 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

You can't live on it or you'll walk around dribbling out diarrhea all the time.

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 hours ago

There was a period before soylent people discovered fiber, when this was true, but now I think all the various manufacturers of this type of stuff adding it, and beyond the almost inevitable adjustment period, it actually stabilises. And we're talking days, not even weeks.

[–] usrtrv@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

Sure if you go 100% soylent without ramping. Any major diet change usually ends up with diarrhea. Typically your body adjusts. Its the same tired trope when people complain about diarrhea from cuisuine they rarely eat.

I've never done it but know multiple people who have lived off soylent(or alternatives) for long periods of time.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, I haven't actually tried it lol.

[–] Blooper@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I have and believe it or not, you end up with pretty perfect poops. It solidifies in your gut.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

I'd imagine if it promises to deliver 100% of what your body needs it incudes a decent amount of fiber

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

Let me tell ye lads, those Dutch have access to cheese that we could only dream of.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Whats wrong with that meal tho?

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I mean, even if you're really into unseasoned fish topped with raw onion, presentation certainly leaves something to be desired.

My understanding is that it's pickled and salted, and both of those are seasonings.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Probably pickled onion. Like in the rollmops pickled herring jars.

[–] zout@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago

Usually it's just regular raw onion. And there's actually a lot of taste in the herring due to gibbing.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Doesn't look pickled, but it definitely could be I guess. Fuck I love pickled onions...I don't eat mops though, rolled or otherwise.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

unseasoned fish

Good fish doesn't really need much else than salt. Unless you don't really want to taste the fish but the other stuff

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good anything doesn't need much else than salt, doesn't mean I don't want it. Find me a savory dish that's not improved by garlic and I'll stab you in the heart because you're obviously a vampire.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I don't want to taste the other stuff, I want to taste the fish though. The joy of a good fish is the taste, no reason to muddy that taste with other stuff

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I don't eat mud, and sorry, you can't come in my home, vampire.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I don't get it, do you mean you'd eat mud if someone put spices in it?

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

No, just that flavors don't get muddied when I cook, it must be a skill issue.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Flavours don't mix when you cook? Lmao

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

They mix perfectly and sing in harmony. Like yeah, a good whistled tune is enjoyable, but I prefer the symphony.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

I mean that's fine, it's a taste thing after all

[–] Knuschberkeks@leminal.space 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)
[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 hours ago

It's a snack, not a meal

[–] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 13 points 1 day ago

Side fish is enough.

[–] decipher_jeanne@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Pickle is a perfectly normal side dish. You should stop dutch shaming people.

Wooden shoe be the one to notice.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

If it was a full pickle, you'd have a point. One little burger chip? That's not even an entire amuse-bouche.

Certainly looks like something in Tom & Jerry.
