With These 7 World Cup Snacks, You’re Guaranteed to Score During Every Match
There’s no getting around it: the FIFA World Cup has begun! You can’t influence the match, but you can influence a well-stocked snack table. These are 7 sweet and savory orange snacks you can safely stock up on this World Cup. Attaaack!
Orange bitterballen
Would you rather see the ball in the fryer than in the net? Then these orange bitterballen from Albert Heijn are right up your street. The delicious beef filling, hint of mustard and crispy coating ensure that you always score. Even when our Orange Lions let us down.
World Cup football pasta
The Italians almost always do well at World Cups. And, as we all know, in the kitchen too. If you’re craving Italian food (even when the Netherlands are playing), put a pan of World Cup football pasta from Jumbo on the stove. This fun pasta, shaped like mini footballs and football boots, is the ideal foundation for the match. Because even dedicated spectators need enough energy, right?
Orange burgers
The ideal snack for a serious hunger during a match: a hamburger bun. Serve in style with these orange burgers from Aldi. Finish with a crispy bun, fresh lettuce and tomato, and some orange sauce (samba sauce or whisky cocktail sauce, for example), and you won’t hear from your guests for the rest of the match. Probably.
Orange kruidnoten
Around this time of year, we’re already allowed to snack and indulge freely, because Saint Nicholas has arrived in the country. Combine the best of both worlds with these orange kruidnoten from Albert Heijn. And we all know: anyone who starts eating kruidnoten won’t stop at an entire team’s worth. After 90 minutes, a bag like that is simply empty.
Orange cream puffs
Whether there’s something to celebrate or not, put a plate of cream puffs on the table and the party can begin. You’ll find the tastiest and most cheerful ones at Albert Heijn and Spar. Tip: stock up on several boxes. Because just like with kruidnoten, you know one snacking session won’t be enough.
Orange tompouces
We eat tompouces at least once a year, on King’s Day. This year, the World Cup is a reason to shamelessly—and with good cause—eat tompouces one more time. Because yes, the (majority of) supermarkets are full of them again! Albert Heijn has them, for example, complete with a beautifully shiny orange topping.
Orange popdots
No idea what popdots are? Ironically enough, these donut balls are shaped like mini footballs. And for that reason alone, popdots—especially this orange version from Plus—are ideal during the match. Bite-size, gulp-and-go food, and therefore also perfect for nibbling during stressful moments.
