Nine snack names you need to know
A patatje Paay is everything on it except curry. No, we didn’t make this up ourselves, and the same goes for these other special snacks.
Rupsband met modder
If the snackbar employee gives you a sympathetic look, ask for a Mexicana with satay sauce. That’s the other name for this delicious ‘after-a-night-out snack.’
Mitraillette
Half a baguette topped with a hamburger, fries and a huge dollop of sauce. It makes absolutely no sense, but when you’re absolutely drunk, it suddenly does. Then this relative of the kapsalon really hits the spot.
Stoephoerenschotel
We can’t call the name of this snack particularly refined, nor can we say that about its contents: a large dish of speciaal fries with all kinds of mini snacks thrown on top.
Friet Ala
The ultimate snack specialty in Venlo that is slowly conquering the rest of the country: a frikandel with zuurvlees, topped with fries with curry and mayonnaise. With or without onions—the choice is yours.
Patatje Flip
In a snackbar in South Holland, you order a patatje flip if you want fries with mayonnaise and satay sauce without onions. Are you in the North? Then order a patatje oorlog without onions. Same snack sensation, different name.
Broodje Malek
Egg with bacon, sambal and satay sauce in a pita. Or order the ‘Malek plus’, and this mountain of snack goodness is topped off with diced gherkins.
Jos Brinkie
A frikandel with satay sauce. A true snack classic, if we can believe the readers of FavorFlav—and we can. Some readers were even genuinely shocked that we didn’t know about it in the editorial office. For our part, we have an issue with the name. But we’re immediately convinced that it’s delicious.
Broodje open been
The frikandel sandwich that also goes through life in snackbar circles as an ‘open ruggetje’.
