Bûter, brea and griene tsiis, wa't dat net sizze kin is gjin oprjochte Fries

Eating is good and "much" in the Frisian part of the Netherlands. On this page typical Frisian recipes. Some from the "Welkokende Vriesche Keukenmeid" (an old Frisian cooking book), others made by my family for years.

Peter Stuyvesant, the founder of New Amsterdam (later: New York) was a Frisian and probably ate "Snert", the Fisian peasoup. He only had to shoot a pig to supplement the brought vegetables.
