Bitterballen

Bitterballen are yummy snacks that come from the Netherlands. They are very similar to meatballs, but smaller and round.

The outside of the bitterballen is crispy and crunchy, kind of like the crust on a chicken nugget. The inside is soft and gooey, like a warm and delicious soup.

Bitterballen are usually made with beef, but sometimes they can have other types of meat or even cheese inside. They are usually served with a dipping sauce, like mustard, which makes them even tastier.

So, when you bite into a bitterbal, you get a yummy mix of crunchy on the outside and soft and yummy on the inside. That's why they are so popular and tasty!
