Culinary Heritage, the history of our eating and drinking habits.

On Wednesday 8 February, Ineke Strouken will give a lecture on our eating and drinking habits. Why does the average Dutch person know more than four stamppotten and eat pea soup in winter? Why do Dutch people love salty herring and salty liquorice, while abroad they are disgusted by them? Why do kingsingers go door-to-door on 6 January in various places in Brabant? It all has to do with our culinary history. Much of the food we are used to eating has a historical story: our cheese sandwich, the rusk with mice, fries with mayonnaise, a Brabant sausage roll, a cup of coffee with a biscuit. You will hear all these stories during this interesting lecture.
