Just come to the Netherlands. It's no kobe beef but we have delicious croquettes (Kroketten, here).

I have never in my life seen it spelled krokette. Only kroket.

It's okay, I was missing a letter. Kroket (singular) kroketten (plural).

Ah, fair enough.

But „Krokette“ is the singular in German.

But the German „Krokette“ are something different then the Dutch Kroketten :)

FEBO was one of the highlights of my Amsterdam trip. I wish we had automats here still.

If your into or curious about Automats highly recommend this video, was on Prime. Feel like it's only a matter of time before they make a comeback.

This from the article looks like a schnitzel though.

It’s how a typical Japanese croquette (koro-kke) looks like, under the crust it has minced beef and mashed potato, not a cutlet.

They're a lot smaller than one, too. I think people downvoting might not know what a schnitzel is.

Other Japanese croquette styles use potato and pork, curry rice with beef, or crab and white sauce.

Some are made broad and flat like a schnitzel or crab cake and others are more rounded and oblong.

A yes, the pinnacle of Dutch cuisine.

It also seems a lot to Spanish croquetas. But the Japanese version seems to use potatoes instead of Bechamel sauce.

Funnily enough I was planning my stay in Amsterdam today and thinking “damn I need to find where the good croquettes are”… What is your recommendation? Where should I go?

Van Dobben near Rembrandtplein. "Kaascroquetten broodje met mayo" (Cheese croquette on bread with mayonnaise) was my goto when I lived there some years back. Good enough to order two. Very filling and tasty.

Don’t look for “good croquettes.” Low expectations are key.

Once you are reasonably drunk, they will find you. Get ‘em on a soft white roll with mustard. Then, you smash em in the sammich. Irritatingly delicious, if you ask me.

DONT ASK WHAT IS IN THEM.

The Cubans make a wicked croquette as well, and can be found throughout Florida.
