The kroket is a deep fried snack, made with meat, popular in the Netherlands. It is crunchy on the outside, but very soft and smooth on the inside. Each year 300 million croquettes are sold in the Netherlands (which works out to about 18 per person annually), making it the second most-popular snack in the country. This number does not include croquettes made and consumed in domestic kitchens, likely to number in the millions as well. Its popularity is only surpassed by the frikandel, a minced-meat hot dog, of which about 580 million are sold each year. Vendors have often tried to market and sell it in other countries, but have failed, even in neighbouring countries like Belgium and Germany. Potato croquettes, however, are quite popular in some parts of Germany and in Belgium. In Japanese cuisine, a relative of the croquette, known as korokke, is a popular fried-food item, but is generally patty-shaped, and served with a brown sauce. Kroket is also one of the most popular snack items in Indonesia introduced during the Dutch colonialization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kroket#The_Dutch_kroket Mar 27 07, 7:28 AM
