In the Netherlands we have so called "snack bars" which sell fast food. The most popular snacks is the "kroket" ("croguette" in English). The kroket should be eaten with mustard (by hand) or with fries (children like that a lot) or with bread, butter and mustard (usually for lunch). There are different kinds, but this one is called the "vleeskroket" or "meat croquette".
