| What to eat in Friesland is a company with a local service area. | |
Its own language, its own sports, its own kitchen. Friesland does many things differently.
Sûkerbôle
Sugar bread with coarse lumps that melt and leave cavities. Traditionally given at a birth, and packaging carries the Frisian name.
Fryske dúmkes
Hard biscuits with almond and aniseed, thumb shaped. Sold in tins as a regional gift and served with coffee across the province.
Beerenburg
A herbal bitter from Amsterdam that Frisian skippers brought and kept. Neat and cold. Harbour towns like Harlingen hold the oldest habit.
The Elfstedentocht
When it freezes hard enough. Pea soup from kettles along the route, and a province that stops for something other than work.
Oranjekoek
A flat cake with pink icing and decoration, for celebrations. Cut into slices counted per person.
Where to look
Leeuwarden for restaurants, Harlingen for harbour and fish, any village bakery for sûkerbôle.
