'Dog food hot dogs' sold to Dutch snackbars

7 June 2004

Source of Article: http://www.expatica.com/source/site_article.asp?subchannel_i...

AMSTERDAM — Food authorities revoked the operating licence of a meat product company in Stekene in Belgium last week after used dog food meat was found in almost 20,000kg of "chicken frikadel" and "chicken burgers" that were sold in the Netherlands. Ironically, a frikadel is a mince meat hot dog.

Each year 300 million croquets are sold in Holland (about 18 per person), making it the second favorite snack, only surpassed by the frikadel, a minced-meat hot dog, which sells about 580 million each year.

agree  Saskia Steur (X): frikadel is the correct spelling, actually, but it's never pronounced that way. Yummy, and much safer than a lot of other meat products.

agree  Paul Peeraerts: Akkoord, maar verwar niet "frikandel" (lang) met "frikadel" (rond). Zo is het althans in mijn taalgebruik en mijnheeer Van Dale is het daar mee eens ;-)
