Hi, Like your list with foods.
But actually your last one number 51, is called Hutspot.
It is a traditional Dutch dish which is like a potatoe mash with carrots and onions in it.
People cook the potatoes, carrots and onions and then mash it all together and spice it up with bay leaf, pepper and salt
Angela @ BakeItWithLove.com says
That's true! It is another name for the dish, as is stampot. I'll be adding more to the page and will include all of the additional names. Thanks for the info on the traditional dish and how it's made (we love goodies like this)! ~ Angela
