Eierbal

Popular throughout the eastern and northern parts of the Netherlands, although it is a Groningen specialty, eierbal is a popular Dutch snack that is quite similar to the popular Scotch eggs. It consists of a hard-boiled egg that is surrounded by meat ragù (often with the addition of curry powder). The combination is then breaded and deep-fried until it develops a golden-brown color of the exterior. It can be bought at numerous snack bars throughout the province. Interestingly, the largest eierbal in the world with a diameter of 44 cm was made in 2015 in a snack bar called Friet van Piet.
