Cities and villages to eat up
Some cities and villages are literally good enough to eat. Want to prove yourself as a true diehard foodie? Then move to a city or village with a food or drink name.
Did you know that a certain area owned by a lord was called a ‘lordship’ long, long ago? How fitting.
Biervliet
Who doesn’t know it? All beer lovers here, please gather round.
Boerenhol
You’re either a farmer or you’re not.
Drogeham
Yes. We like it.
Gaarkeuken
Creamed spinach, anyone?
Hongerige Wolf
At least it suits us perfectly. At the FavorFlav editorial office, we’re Hungry Wolves, each and every one of us.
Nieuw-Lekkerland
EVERYTHING DELICIOUS EVERYWHERE.
Reusel
Do they all eat potatoes fried in lard here? Hmmmm..
Sexbierum
Two of our favorite activities—having sex and drinking beer—united in a single village name.
Smakt
People who smack their lips should pack their bags (for Noord-Limburg).
Spekhoek
I would happily curl up in a porky corner every day.
Tuk
A Tuc now and then is what cheers people up.
Wijngaarden
Unfortunately, this village in Zuid-Holland has no houses surrounded by vineyards; for that, you’ll really have to move to France. But hey, it does sound cool when you can say you live in Wijngaarden.
Zijtaart
Cake, from the side.
Zwarte Haan
‘It flew into my mouth like a roasted chicken’ has been Emma’s favorite nonexistent, made-up saying for years. If she also gets to live in Zwarte Haan, all her wishes will have come true.
