Frikandel
Frikandel
Frikandel (pronunciation: /friːkɑnˈdɛl/) is a traditional Dutch snack, a sort of minced-meat hot dog, commonly found in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Etymology
The term "Frikandel" is derived from the French word 'fricadelle', which is a type of meatball. The Dutch adapted the term and the snack in the 1950s.
Description
A Frikandel is a long, skinless, dark-colored sausage, usually served hot. It is made from a mixture of chicken, pork, and beef, and is often spiced with nutmeg, pepper, and other seasonings. The meat is minced, mixed with the spices, and then shaped into a sausage. The Frikandel is then deep-fried until it is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
