Assuming we need to follow through with the consequences — and who among us believes that Prime Minister Balkenende will reverse his descent into dhimmitude? — I have a suggested candidate for the first Dutch firm to be boycotted by the Counterjihad.
It’s a company called Friesland Foods, which specializes in dairy products, presumably including Gouda cheese. I suggest that readers develop a taste for Havarti as a reasonable substitute.
According to the Arab News:
Dutch Businessmen Blast Wilders Film- - - - - - - - -
The anti-Qur’an film released by Dutch rightwing parliamentarian Geert Wilders has been condemned in the Netherlands, a senior Dutch business executive said here yesterday.
The film, which has been the subject of much critical speculation and controversy, was released on the Internet on March 27 and withdrawn within 48 hours, Marcus Potter, managing director of Jeddah-based Friesland Foods Middle East, told a press conference.
Potter said the film attempts to paint “the whole of Islamic situation with a single fundamentalist and extremist brush.” Some other Dutch companies doing business in the Middle East have also condemned the film and taken up the matter with the government, he added.
“In fact, our objection to this documentary is also shared and strongly voiced by the Dutch government,” he said, adding that Jan Peter Balkenende, prime minister of the Netherlands, had condemned the film as a misrepresentation of Islam.
“On behalf of the Dutch government, I would like to respond to the online film by Wilders. The film shows images of violent acts and holds Islam and the Qur’an responsible for them. The government condemns such acts and those who commit them,” Potter said, quoting the prime minister’s statement.
“The film equates Islam with violence. We reject this interpretation. The vast majority of Muslims reject extremism and violence. The victims are often Muslims. We therefore regret that Wilders has released this film. We believe it serves no purpose other than to cause offense. But feeling offended must never be used as an excuse for aggression and threats. The government is heartened by the initial restrained reactions of Dutch Muslim organizations,” the statement said.
[…]
“The Dutch government stands for a society in which freedom and respect go hand in hand. Such a society demands dedication and commitment. We oppose extremism. Anyone who breaks the law is dealt with firmly. Let us solve problems by working together. Let us reach out to others and build confidence and trust. Let us conquer prejudice. We shall surely succeed,” the prime minister said.
“Friesland Foods Middle East rejects this categorization of the Middle East, the Arab World or of the millions of peace loving Muslims whom we have come to appreciate as customers,” said Potter, who was accompanied by Regional Commercial Director Gerjo Scheringa and Khalid A. Bakhsh, regional director finance and administration.
A subsidiary of the Dutch multinational Friesland Foods, Friesland Foods Middle East has been doing business in the Middle East since the 1950s, with 50 percent of its regional business in Saudi Arabia. “At Friesland Foods Middle East, we respect all cultures, beliefs and values, and strongly condemn this expression against Islam. Our company has grown as part of this region and respects its culture as its own,” Potter said.
Asked whether the film had an adverse impact on the company’s sales across the Kingdom or elsewhere in the Arab-Muslim world, Potter said, “Our sales are not at all affected. However, boycott is not a solution for such individual acts. What is required is dialogue and understanding. A boycott will surely affect sales and ultimately result in unemployment. It will only hurt the innocent. What we need to address is the cause or the source of the problem,” he said, adding that individuals take undue advantage of the right to freedom of speech and expression guaranteed in the Dutch constitution.
The big cheese at Friesland seems to have taken in abject dhimmitude along with his mother’s milk. Let’s make sure he gets creamed for his preemptive surrender.
He buttered his bread. Now let him eat it.

If you'd like to leave them a love note, you can do it here: Friesland Fools
Re: the above, here's the note I left them:
The response of your company and the Dutch government to Islamic intimidation over Geert Wilder's film "Fitna" is disgusting and a disgrace to Western civilization.
Mr. Wilder's film is based on fact and casts a true light on the so-called "religion of peace". Your cowardly acquiescence to Islamic thuggery will only serve to embolden the enemies of freedom and democracy.
"Is life so dear, is peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery...? Apparently your company and the Dutch government think it is.
Shame.
I suggest that readers develop a taste for Havarti as a reasonable substitute.
Those fortunate enough to have a Danish delicatessen nearby might wish to try even more elegant varities like Tybo and Elbo. An Ambassadeur grade Esrom is a slice of heaven. For those who enjoy stinky cheeses, do not overlook gammelost. It can range from a few to several months in age and rival just about anything short of Limburger in pungency.
For the very finest in baked goods, try adding Denmark's justifiably famous Lurpak butter. Using cultured cream skimmed from almost 20 kilograms of whole milk, each kilo of Lurpak has a luscious 80% butterfat content and can elevate even ordinary sugar cookies to stellar heights.
If you have a Danish deli near you, please do not forego sampling the traditional coarse country liver pâté known as leverpostej (literally, “liver paste”). Served on caraway rye or pumpernickel bread and topped with a slice of pickled beet or bread & butter pickle, it is part of the classic smorgasbord. Few non-Danes understand the depth and breadth of a true smorgasbord. A term much abused in America, it refers to a presentation that can range from a few dozen to over one hundred assorted items.
The koldtbord (literally, “cold table”) can contain nearly a dozen each variety of breads, spreads, meats, cheeses, toppings and condiments.
Though there are variations from country to country, and from region to region, diners are likely to come across most of the following items at some time or other: lobster, smoked or dill-cured salmon, smoked trout, prawns, shrimps, pickled or cured herring marinated or in a variety of sauces, fried Baltic herring, smoked eel, thinly sliced roast beef, veal, pork, smoked reindeer meat, reindeer tongue, ham, liver pastes, tomatoes, onion rings, egg, pickled cucumber, gherkins, beet root, and many preserves such as cranberry or red whortleberry. Cheeses include imitations of popular foreign kinds such as Stilton, Gruyere, Camembert, but there are also local varieties- Danish blue, sweet soft goat's cheese and even, if you are bold, the exceedingly strong gamalost, a delicious Norwegian “old cheese.”
Accompanying this dazzling cornucopia could be dozens of hot dishes like frikadeller (Danish meatballs — see recipe at end of comment), fiskeboller (fish dumplings in a creamy tomato sauce) plus wonderful soups or sautés. One might encounter potatoes served in a handful of ways, be it glazed in a dark caramel sauce, mashed or twice-cooked with herbs and butter. Add in another half-dozen salads or desserts and you begin to get the idea.
There is an old Danish saying:
TOO MUCH IS NEVER TOO LITTLE.
I think it is safe to say that this philosophy also applies to Denmark’s soldiers.
At Friesland Foods Middle East, we respect all cultures, beliefs and values, and strongly condemn this expression against Islam.
In the midst of swallowing camels whole and straining on gnats, Friesland’s executives apparently manage to overlook how Islam does not “respect all cultures, beliefs and values”. Curious, that.
Now, on to the Danish soul food recipe.
Frikadeller
Danish Meatballs
Preparation Time: 45 Minutes
Serves: 4 People
Ingredients:
½ Pound Ground Beef or Veal
½ Pound Ground Pork
1 Medium Yellow Onion (pulp)
3 TSP White Flour
½ - 1 Cup Milk
1-2 Eggs
1 TSP Salt
½ TSP Ground black pepper
1 Stick Butter (for frying)
Optional:
The traditional version of this recipe is made with beef, pork and veal.
Preparation:
Be sure to get the finest grind of meat possible. Ask your butcher to help run it through the finest plate a couple of times. Store bought ground meat will work but the texture will be slightly coarser. If you are using a home machine (Kitchen Aid), add the onion while grinding the meats together.
If you have not ground the onion with the meat, grate the entire onion into pulp, there should be no large bits left. Mix the meat and onion together and stir in the flour. In a separate small bowl, add the milk plus salt and pepper to the eggs then beat well. Combine the egg mixture with the meat and proceed to mix well. You want to aerate the mix to get fluffy and light meatballs. Avoid overworking the mixture as it beats all of the air out of it.
Preheat a large skillet with half of the butter in it. Use two tablespoons that have been dipped in lukewarm water. Scoop out a heaping spoonful of the meat and shape into a small golf ball sized oblong with the spoons. Drop the meatball into the pan and repeat. Dip the spoons into the water again to avoid the meat mixture sticking to them. Again, avoid overworking or compressing the meat while shaping it. One by one, drop the meatballs into the hot pan and fry until well browned on one side. If the pan is dry, add more butter when turning the meatballs. Continue until they are browned on all sides. Remove the finished frikadeller from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately or keep warm in a preheated oven until ready.
Note: In a separate pan, slowly caramelize some onion rings to serve with the frikadeller. They should be nicely caramelized when done. A side of mashed potatoes, some rich brown gravy and Rødkaal (red cabbage) makes this into Danish soul food.
To make the caramelized onions, cut yellow or white onions into medium thick rings and fry them in a pan with some butter or oil. Warm them over medium to low heat. They should not show signs of vigorous cooking. It will take at least half an hour to get them nice and brown. They will take on a dramatically sweet flavor that accents meats and other fine dishes.
For the best dark gravy, use a brown caramel coloring agent known as “kulor”. Someone in Denmark will need to supply a link as this product has disappeared from American shelves. An inadequate substitute is “Kitchen Bouquet” but it will impart undesirable herbal notes that the pure caramelized paste will not. All said, kulor adds a vital and faintly bitter carbonaceous note to the brown gravy that perfectly offsets any sweetness of the accompanying sautéed onions.
Serve the frikadeller with mashed, boiled or glazed potatoes plus the dark brown gravy and some cabbage on the side. This is true Danish soul food.
Can your tell that I'm proud of my Danish heritage?
GOOD!
Not a whole lot I can do here in the States. I don't shop at World Market for food (though I do get beer and wine there). Guess they would have to get by on a strongly worded letter from me.
I do remember we used to get Foremost Brand milk here. Apparently, it's not sold here anymore. It's one of the brands they market in Indonesia
Hmm...so that's how you get light meatballs. Sounds like a wonderful winter dish. Especially if you prepare everything else ahead. I would imagine the meatballs don't keep their lightness very long after cooking.
This reminds me a bit of finan haddie, but of course that's fish, not meat.
The three-meat-mix is used in the US for meatloaf. Or it was at one time. It can be hard to get veal now, so turkey is substituted.
No problem. Gouda is also made in the USA. No one has to give up anything, just buy domestic. This gives real meaning to the phrase, shop local, act global.
Zenster _ thank you for bringing back great memories.
My Grandmother made the best frikadeller, open face sandwiches on pumpernickle bread, and ...... :-)
She made eating fun.
I didn't realize how much I missed her until I read your list and recipe.
Thanks Zenster for your culinaire tips!
By the way, does it happen to be that Friesland Foods' Khalid A. Bakhsh is the number 400 on this list?
If in doubt: All barcodes starting with 870 - 879 are dutch.
Dymphna: I would imagine the meatballs don't keep their lightness very long after cooking.
They do all right until being refrigerated whereupon they congeal. You are most certainly right about them making a fine cold-weather dish.
I am currently at work on perfecting fisk frikadeller, a seafood version that uses firm-fleshed white fish such as cod or halibut. Topped with remoulade sauce, they are just plain heavenly.
A delightful reuse of regular frikadeller is in making an open face sandwich. Lightly buttered bread spread with a sheen of strong mustard (Colman's or Russian-style), thin slices of room-temperature frikadeller topped with a dab of horseradish, leftover sautéed onions or a paper-thin slice of fresh onion. Pickled beet or pickles of any sort do well too.
My own favorite open face sandwich is as follows: (order of ingredients reflects layering on actual sandwich)
Egg & Tomato Sandwich
Light Rye Bread
Smear of Mayonnaise
Slices of Salad Tomato
Slices of Hard-Boiled Egg
Another Dollop of Mayonnaise
Chopped Chives or Scallions
Salt & Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
The secret to this sandwich is using the eggs while they are still warm. It creates a pleasing chaudfroid (hot & cold) effect. For the best results, make sure the eggs still have a semi-soft golden yellow yolk. To obtain this, cook your eggs in a large amount of water. Stir them often as they come to a boil. This centers the yolk within the white, which is also the secret to elegant deviled eggs.
Once the water is at a full rolling boil, remove the pot from its burner and allow it to rest for 8-10 minutes. Then run the eggs under fast-flowing cold water for several minutes or use an ice bath. This makes them easy to peel. If your hard-boiled eggs come out with a slightly bluish tinged yolk or any sulphurous aroma, try the above cooking method.
Christian Soldier and Bert, you are both most welcome. I'll try to post other Danish recipes when it seems appropriate.
Bert, that's a very interesting list with some unusual monickers, as in:
AHMED THE TANZANIAN a.k.a. "FOOPIE"
Foopie? That must be his French nom de guerre.
Fitna is a racist film. Is promotes violence against Muslims.
;)
I don't engage in the purchase of a lot of imported products, with the sole exception of beer. And those of you who have seen me late at night or on the weekends would understand I do quite a brisk business in the Belgian varieties.
If the Dutch government itself is to condemn Wilders, are there any Dutch international brands of beer I should avoid?
P.S. Most of what I drink would be considered Trappist ales, predominately from Belgium. I've also started the hobby of trying to brew it, although I haven't tried a Belgian yet (Trappist or otherwise).
P.P.S. Now that you mention it, I'd like to know which Belgian breweries/beers I should avoid, if at all.

Talk about some asinine EU bureacracy: Wrong bottles cost winemaker £30,000

This idea of boycotting beer brings up a question. Since Muslims are not supposed to drink alcohol, why should any brewery condemn Wilders, since if Europe goes Muslim, beer will be illegal? Shouldn't all the brewers (and pork producers) get together on this and have their own policy?
I don't drink much anyway, but one of the most awesome beers I've ever had is peche lambic, I forget the brand name, it's Belgian. It's kind of a girly drink, low alcohol and fruit flavored, really fun. I'd better have one before Wilders gets prosecuted
