l was born and raised in the Netherlands. And even though I didn't move to Canada until my last 20s, I have always travelled and longed for more wide-open spaces than Holland could offer. I found it eventually in Canada.
When people ask me what some common Dutch dishes are, only a few come to mind, but the kroker is one of them. I guess one could argue it is somewhat of a comfort food for me. People generally don't make it from scratch. They buy it at the grocery store for frying at home, at a cafeteria vendor, or even pull it out of a fast-food vending machine.
Not having those options here, I thought it would be a good thing to be able to learn how to make so I can both enjoy it as well as expose my kids to some Dutch treats I enjoyed while growing up in my homeland.
This dish is usually eaten by dipping in mayo or mustard, on its own, or put on bread, or a soft bun.
