The frikandel sushi isn’t going anywhere for now
It remains incomprehensible to many, but by now it seems we’d better start getting used to it: frikandel sushi. One of the best-known Dutch snacks in a Japanese guise — it’s just one of the creations people have come up with. But what initially sounded like a joke has now become a serious snack.
And according to Snackspert, that’s not a bad thing at all—in fact, quite the opposite: “frikandel sushi is a brilliant example of how the snack world is innovating,” he wrote in Het Parool.
This is where frikandel sushi is on the menu
He ate it at Sushibuck, a little restaurant located on De Clercqstraat in Amsterdam-West. Alongside the maki, hand rolls and nigiri, you’ll find frikandel sushi on the menu here, with a slice of cheese and some mayonnaise. What I personally find rather striking is that Cheddar cheese is used, and that the frikandel is made from chicken — quite a particular twist on what the Dutch snack actually is, and secretly a little disappointing that they didn’t use the “real” version.
I really wonder whether frikandel sushi will still be found on menus ten years from now—and Snackspert has the same question. “Or will Tonny from the cafeteria be making his own frikandel sushi in five years?” It would certainly be something if, in a few years, we could order a little maki roll with frikandel at the local snack bar. I think I’ll stick to the deep-fried snacks, and to the somewhat more authentic sushi, but I am secretly curious, so I’m definitely going to order this one sometime. You can expect my review of the frikandel sushi in due course.
