In reply to Chantelle Ray. Thanks very much for this addition, Chantelle. Curacao was a major hub for the slave trade in the Caribbean and slavery was prominent on the island's plantations. You're quite right that this dish has its roots there as it was made by slaves from table scraps from the plantation owners' meals. I've heard that the Kuru Hulanda Museum on Curacao tells of this important part of Dutch Caribbean history.

In reply to STEPHANIE VAN'T ZELFDEN. You'll see lots of delicious Dutch cheese in Aruba. Old Amsterdam is another popular cheese that's delicious to try as a snack.

Sounds really delicious. I had no idea that Edam cheese was popular in Aruba, so glad to have learned that by reading your article!
