Clinton News-Record, 1984-05-09, Page 85Taste treats
Some favorite Dutch taste treats are
featured at Clinton's Klompen Feest
celebrations.
A fish market, operated by the men
from the Clinton Christian Reformed
Church, sells smoked eel, trout,
whitefish and the world-famous pickled
herring.
Most eat the herring in the traditional
Dutch way, by.grabbing the fish by the
tail, throwing your head back and
tossing the delicacy down the hatch.
Herring may not suit everyone's
tastebuds, but other Dutch treats are
irresistible to most. Another popular
women from the Clinton 'Christian
Reformed Church. Here more than six
women work non-stop cooking . and
selling a special Dutch favorite,
Oliebollen. Traditionally served in
Holland on New Year's Eve, Oliebollen
are deep fried, doughnut like balls. The
sweet treats are filled with raisins or
apples and are coated in icing sugar.
The best way to eat Oliebollen is hot,
right from the cooker and this is the
way they're served at Klompen Feest.
Over 2,500 Oliebollen are sold at this
booth every year.
The Dutch food booth also serves,
croquettes. These tasty snacks are
made from an egg and bread crumb
batter, filled with a creamy mixture of
hamburger, turkey or beef. Like
Oliebollen these too are best eaten hot
and at Klompen Feest,areserved right
from the pot to your plate. Last year
more than 1,400 croquettes were sold.
As well the food booth features
smoked fish, Dutch sausages aid salted
herrings.
Profits made by the food sales goes
back to the church and the Clinton and
District Christian School. Last year
proceeds also went to the Clinton Public
Hospital.
The booth is a popular one at'
Klompen Feest and you should be
prepared to wait a few minutes for your
snacks. But rest assured, the wait will
Klompen Feest booth is run by local definitely be worth your time.
