Fifty years ago snack company Beckers created and marketed the frikandel, a deep-fried, spicy sausage-like snack. Last Thursday the local Warande bar the Wombat held their annual frikadelleneetfestijn: eat as many frikandellen as you can within the 30-minute time limit. Fortunately, I didn’t participate, but I did take some pictures. What I really liked is that there were several contestants from other countries, including Belgium, Portugal and Italy.
