At home we ate hutspot (Dutch-style mashed potatoes, onions and carrots) with lots of parsley in them, and I still prefer it that way! Don’t expect typical Dutch cuisine at my home, I love fusion cooking. Another example: I will put a bit of Indonesian kecap manis (soy sauce) in my Dutch pea soup! Most Dutch people add a little Maggi’s (a liquid condiment which tastes a bit like Marmite). And red bell pepper already was one of my favorite vegetables before I ‘discovered’ Spain!

Sounds a bit like when I do Bratwurst with Kní¶del (dumpling-type things from Bavaria) and…. baked beans!

Ben, I got the “Spanish Bean” thing too….We could just start calling you Señor Bean. Hey, you should start a new trend and open up a restaurant – La Cocina del Señor Bean.

@Dave – yes, that did make me laugh somewhat as well
@Luke – Blake, wow, this site has just reached new cultural highs! And you’re right, nothing wrong with mixing it up a bit!
@VS – and think of all the possibilities for Spanishifying fish’n'chips!
@Pamela – and why not – in fact who knew that Chorizo was so versatile!
@PattyN – That’s exactly it, fusion food – a concept which, however, could take a hell of a long time to catch on in Spain…

I think it’s called fusion food. I’m 4th generation Japanes-American and there were a couple of times in Madrid when I had nice deep fried anchovies and thought to myself, “Boy, these would be really good with a bowl of rice and a little soy sauce.”
