The ball can roll strangely!

Curaçao beyond beach!

Living on an island is pleasant. Especially when it is a tropical island. I have lived on Curaçao for more than 30 years. Still, life here also brings its own challenges. From my “makamba” perspective, I like to write about things that catch my eye or that I experience in the B&B; things you don't think of 1, 2, 3 when it comes to Curaçao. A personal insight for everyone planning to visit Curaçao and interested in more than sun, sea and beach. Just because there is so much more. My blog below is about the Eierbal!

The little ball can roll strangely!

and this also applies to the Eierbal.

Since I married a Groninger in 2000, the Eierbal has been a running thread through my life. I must say that as a Drenth I was also somewhat familiar with this phenomenon. Still, I feel that it is even more popular in Groningen.

During every holiday in the Netherlands, large numbers are consumed. One could speak of a tradition, because our children were already avid Eierbal eaters. What surprised me was when two of my guests from North Holland expressed their love for the Eierbal during breakfast. Something Groninger must be behind that. And indeed....

Well, entirely via Turkey, but still. The story goes as follows.

During a holiday, John and Peter meet two women who live in Lisse. It clicks so well that the four decide to meet up. In Lisse they are treated to this delicacy they had never tasted in their lives. One of the women turns out to come from Bellingwolde and, like Willem, grew up with the Eierbal.

What do you do then when you move from Groningen to North Holland?

Then you take the recipe to the local snack bar in Lisse and you declare a patatje oorlog when this Eierbal does not quickly appear on the menu. Now this lady from Bellingwolde can eat her Eierbal every weekend and introduce all her friends to this piece of Gronings and/or Drents heritage.

Because Lisse is close to Schiphol, the transition to Curaçao is not even that big. Would it be an idea to introduce it here in Curaçao?

Or shall we just keep enjoying the Pastechi and the Kaasballen here?!
