We Dutch don't really do cuisine - some of the most typically Dutch dishes involve nothing more than mashing together onions, potatoes, and either carrots or kale and calling it a day. The rest we stole from mostly Indonesia, China or Morocco, like the rijsttafel which is something we stole and is now no longer done in Indonesia so it's ours. Most of the original Dutch things are delicious cookies, cakes, sweets and breads. We do have some deep fried abominations such as the nasischijf / bamischijf, which is a deepfried disk of fried rice/noodles. Our new year's eve snack of choice is the oliebol, a deepfried ball of dough usually dotted with raisins. We eat raw herring (matter of fact I just had some today), mussels and smoked eel.
