The ball can roll strangely!

Curaçao beyond the beach!

Living on an island is pleasant. Especially when it's a tropical island. For over 30 years, I've lived on Curaçao. Yet, life here also brings its fair share of challenges. From my "makamba" perspective, I like to write about things that stand out to me or that I experience in Toni Kunchi; things you might not immediately think of when it comes to Curaçao. A personal glimpse for anyone planning to visit Curaçao and who is interested in more than just sun, sea, and beach. Simply because there is so much more. My blog below is about the Eierbal!

The ball can roll strangely!

And this certainly also applies to the egg ball.

Since I married a Groninger in 2000, the egg ball has been a red thread through my life. I must say that as a Drenth, I was also somewhat familiar with this phenomenon. Still, I feel like it's even more popular in Groningen.

During every holiday in the Netherlands, large numbers are consumed. You could say it's a tradition, as our children have also become avid egg ball eaters. Imagine my surprise when two of my guests from North Holland expressed their love for the egg ball during breakfast. There had to be something Groninger behind it. And indeed...

Well, entirely via Turkey, but still. The story went like this.

During a holiday, John and Peter meet two women who live in Lisse. They hit it off so well that the four decide to meet up. In Lisse, they are treated to this delicacy which they have never tasted before in their lives. One of the women turns out to be from Bellingwolde and, just 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 with you to the local snack bar in Lisse and you declare a french fries war if this egg ball does not appear on the menu soon. Now this lady from Bellingwolde can eat her egg ball every weekend and introduce all her friends to this piece of Groningen and/or Drenthe heritage.

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

Or shall we just enjoy staying here and indulging in the Pasties and Cheese Balls?!
