I bought one of the Frikandelen on my first year, thinking it would be like a taquito or something. I broke it open to inspect the insides and have a whiff just to get an idea of what it was first. Upon doing so, the thing wound up in the trash without a single bite taken.
If you read through this thread you'll see I'm a Febo lover, I didn't touch one during this last trip, I did have a kipcorn in the airports equivelant on my way home that was tasty.
I'm like a junkie living dangerously when it comes to those rundvleeskrokets, made of so tasty mystery meat enveloped in a gravy like substance which is lovingly breaded and fried (just like me). Yes, count me among the faithful of team Febo.

Yeah after my frikandel experience I was wary of trying the kroketten. It's funny though. In NYC they opened up an automat a few years ago with the SAME EXACT little ovens that Febo uses. Anyway, the food is geared towards locals with one of the menu items being mac n' cheese croquettes. They fall apart on you, but they're good. I just may try a Dutch one on my next trip in a couple of weeks. I'll surely be in there eating kaassouflees at some point, or maybe many points. I can't find anything quite like them at home so I tend to load up on them when in Amsterdam.

enjoy.

To be honest I normal just stay clear of that place. Who knows what animal has been chopped up and skewed.
