Groningen Eierbal

The Groningen eierbal (also called an aaierbal) is a typical regional snack from Groningen: a hard-boiled egg, coated in savory ragout, breaded, and fried into a crispy, bitterbal-like ball. 

It's a filling, affordable treat that's eaten hot or cold, often as a snack or after a night out. 

Origin: Developed after World War II as a cheap, filling food; possibly inspired by the Scottish Scotch egg or Indonesian influences. 

Recognized as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2017 (Dutch list). 

Fact: In 2015, Friet van Piet created the largest eierbal in the world (44 cm diameter, made with an ostrich egg). Try the best at Cafetaria Koning or Friet van Piet!
