What do you call this (Pariyal especially)

[ritaxis]

In the hostel breakfast in Amsterdam there was this breakfast meat -- like US lunchmeat, sort of like sausage -- which was identified only as "chicken." It was as fine-grained and smooth as bologna and had little sprinkles of vegetables and maybe herbs throughout it. It tasted like chicken soup, and I loved it. What is its name? I want to find

i'd say probably "kip met tuinkruiden". sorta like this one on the left, which is "kiprollade", but kiprollade has pieces of actual chicken in it in addition to the herbs. "kip met tuinkruiden" will find you both, the sausage and recipes for chicken with herb crusts and the like; it might take a while to find a good picture to confirm (google image search isn't helpful). when it's listed under "ontbijt" (breakfast) or "koffietafel" (lunch), then it's the stuff you're looking for.

That's it! You're right, it's exactly like that except it's smooth all the way through. I bet I wouldn't mind it with chunks of chicken.

Okay, then. off to google.

Humph. It seems as if "kip met tuinkruiden" means more than one thing. There's a Dutch grocer's in San Jose and they have a bouillon called that. Only I didn't figure it out before I sent them a note asking for it.

But. There's a Dutch grocer's in San Jose! That's very cool.

You should go soon, though. If it's the one I'm thinking of (and I think there's only one Dutch grocery in San Jose), it's probably closing within the next year because the owner is planning on retireing.

I wonder if your regular butcher could order it for you. I can get almost anything from the Giant if I request ahead of time.
