Amersfoort egg ball rubs Groningen politician the wrong way: ‘That’s not possible’

“You have a Den Bosch bun, we all know it. You have the Limburg flan,” he sums up. “The Frisian sugar loaf, the Drenthe rye ball and the Groningen egg ball, which is simply called egg ball throughout the Netherlands.” According to Meendering, it does not matter that the Amersfoort snack bar owner uses other herbs for his variant of the egg ball. Zuyderduin uses vadouvan, an Indian spice mixture, instead of the curry that is mainly used in Groningen. “That doesn’t justify giving it a different name. I don’t think so. The basis, of course, remains the egg ball. Then add some extra herbs and then turn it into a Keierbal, no… we shouldn’t do that,” he says. Meendering.
