Seriously: what the hell is this stuff? I read the name of this dish in the original poster’s caption, and I’m pretty sure this is a particleboard dresser I bought at IKEA in 1997.
The Dutch are nutty, Mararie!
The frig?

Flat-Packed Frig
The frig is right. I totally lost interest in searching for this picture when I saw the tiny frog.
Corned beef???
Leftover congealed corned beef hash out of a can.
Being Dutch, I’ll try to shed some light: I think it’s some kind of ‘stamppot’ ( literally: stamped pot), which always consists of mashed potatoes, with vegetables mashed in.
I’ve not seen this variation though, it seems like potatoes, red cabbage, and carrots? The best known kinds are boerenkoolstamppot (potatoes&kale), which is great with smoked sausage(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rookworst); hutspot (potatoes, carrots and onions; and andijviestamppot (with endive), with bits of bacon. These ‘stamppotten’ are good, satisfying and cheap comfort food. Especially the kale-stamppot with smoked sausage, IMO. But most non-Dutch people think it’s disgusting :-).
haha, I’ve only just noticed it says ‘hutsput’ when you’re on the picture. That’s a spelling mistake: it should be hutspot. This is a weird hutspot though, I wonder why it’s red.
I probably should get points deducted for fore-knowledge or something (if that even is an English word).
If anyone would like the recipe for hutspot, let me know. Seriously: it’s GOOD. Although you probably don’t believe me.
lol, i found this picture through ego surf on flickr.
i cooked this myself and yes, it is the dutch dish ‘hutspot’. the dish is pink and not orange, because i have used different variations of carrots (purple, white, and orange carrots).
the original dish does not necessarily have to be orange, because (from wikipedia): “the western (orange) carrot emerged in the netherlands in the 17th century, its orange colour making it popular in those countries as an emblem of the house of orange and the struggle for dutch independence.”
