It is the last day of the year. My husband and son bought oliebollen in the center of our village at a mobile stall. Eating oliebollen (oil balls) on New Year's Eve is a Dutch tradition. The filling of the oliebol could consist of raisins, currants and apple and succade. My husband bought oliebollen with and oliebollen without raisins.
Oliebollen
Oliebollen! Heb jij ze dit jaar ook gekocht? Ik zou niet meedoen maar toen ik ze zag, heb ik er toch eentje genomen. Lekker dat ie was! Wij kopen altijd twee soorten: zonder en met rozijnen. Maar die van vroeger thuis waren het lekkerst! Ook wel doordat we ze zelf bakten. Nou, dat is al 25 jaar geleden!

I decided not to eat oliebollen this year. But when I saw the oliebollen, I could not resist the temptation (1 oliebol: 266 Kcal). Oliebollen are usually served with powdered sugar. Do you also have a specific tradition on New Year's Eve?

Net als Oma'gehaktballen en cake, die waren het lekkerst van de hele wereld!! Ik wens je een fantastisch 2017 Jedidja.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHappy New Year, Jedidja! It has been a pleasure following your blog in 2016 and I'm looking forward to more in 2017. Yes, save an Oliebollen for me! :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenJazeker oliebollen horen er echt bij. Fijne jaarwisseling!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHappy New Year, Jedidja. I have enjoyed your blog and will continue to view it in 2017. Here in the south it is a tradition that we have blackeyed peas, pork and greens for our meal, which I plan on having. Have a blessed day. Madeline
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNo New Year's tradition here...but I think having them is wonderful!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you for introducing me to this tradition. I have a direct line of Dutch descendants and it will be fun to begin this practice.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOne oliebollen per year won't hurt you---enjoy.
delicioys snack, Happy New Year to you and yours
BeantwoordenVerwijderenToo tempting & sweet!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHappy New Year!
Hello, the oliebollen looks tasty! Have a happy and safe weekend! I wish you and your family all the best in 2017, Happy New Year!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh I remember Oliebollen from when I was little. Good stuff! : )
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNo, we don't do anything special for the new year.
Happy New Year.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI said in a post up above that we had no New Years traditions...but come to think of it, We do have one. When I grew up in Michigan I never heard of eating pork and sauerkraut on New Year's day... But we moved to an area that did. So... several years ago we started having pork and sauerkraut on New Years day. We are having it tomorrow on January 1st.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNo that sounds like a tasty tradition!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat looks very interesting! Would love to try it. I live in Florida, which is in southern USA. New Year's Day tradition in the south is black-eyed peas and ham. (or hog jowl...but not for me!). We actually make something called "Hoppin John", which is the black eyed peas cooked with onions and green peppers, etc., and served over rice. That is good. I also like pork and sauerkraut...but that is a northern tradition not as well known in the south. We've lived in both regions, so we can go either way! Happy New Year! May God bless you and yours in 2017!
