Kaassoufflé
A kaassoufflé is a Dutch snack of melted cheese inside a thin dough-based wrap which has been breaded and then deep-fried. Overview A ''kaassoufflé'' is thought to be influenced by Indonesian street food called ''gorengan'' (fritter). It is either bought ready-made frozen and deep-fried at home, or ordered at ''snackbars'' in the Netherlands, where it is one of the few vegetarian fast-food snacks available. At certain Dutch fastfood outlets, such as FEBO or Smullers, it is possible to purchase a ''kaassoufflé'' without having to order it at the counter; instead it can be had directly from an ''automatiek'', a coin-operated vending machine.

Dutch cuisine is often seen as bland, due to a culture of frugality. In the late 19th and early 20th century, Dutch food became designed to be economical and filling rather than pleasing, with many vegetables and little meat: breakfast and lunch are typically bread with toppings like cheese, while dinner is meat and potatoes, supplemented with seasonal vegetables. The diet contains many dairy products and is relatively high in carbohydrates and fat, reflecting the dietary needs of the laborers.
