| What to eat in the Achterhoek is a company with a local service area. | |
The rural east of Gelderland, with farms, its own dialect and a kitchen from slaughtering season.
Balkenbrij
Achterhoek balkenbrij is spicier than the Twente version. Fried in slices, with syrup or mustard. Butchers still make it themselves.
Grolsch
The brewery came from Groenlo, which gave it the name. Production sits in Enschede now, the roots are here.
Farmhouse cheese
Raw milk cheese made on the farm. Roadside shops sell it directly, and the difference from factory cheese is plain.
Sweet breads
For celebrations, with different names by village. Bakers keep the regional forms.
Game in autumn
Roe deer and hare from the estates, on menus from October to January. Country restaurants do more with it than town ones.
Where to look
Winterswijk and Doetinchem for restaurants, farm shops for cheese, butchers for balkenbrij.
