Bits o' Stuff - Dutch Snacks

Argh..  delinquent again!  Blame it on Final Fantasy 13.

While in Amsterdam, we came across something called Dutch Snacks on the menu at one of the many random bars we visited.  The waitress closed the deal when she said the secret magic word, "deep-fried"


These fried little balls, better known as bitterballen, were very interesting.  Inside was a runny curry flavored beefy mixture, kind of a stew texture.  Fried to a crisp, it was eaten with mustard for a kick.  I don't know if I will be craving this anytime soon, but it was a pleasant savory and crunchy companion to cold beers.
