Bitterballen are one of Holland's favorite snacks. Served shaped as a log or in bite-size rounds, bitterballen were often served as an aperitif, or tapa, before lunch or dinner. Bitterballen, also called Dutch dippers, are a traditional staple of Dutch cuisine. They are roughly equivalent to meatballs or croquettes, but are deep-fried rather than pan-fried or baked.
