bitterballen
Fried meat spheres
Bitterballen are Dutch deep-fried snacks—crispy breaded balls with a creamy meat ragout filling, typically beef.
They're served hot with mustard as a bar snack or appetizer, often alongside drinks: We ordered bitterballen with our beers.
The name translates roughly to "bitter balls," referring to their traditional pairing with bitter liqueurs.
