オランダのStamppot（Bitterballen）という食べ物について。
読んだけど結局ふわっとしたままで…多分また同じ記事読んでも気付かないと思うw
-laden
意味 [複合語で]…を多く持った, 抱えた
Dutch food isn’t as well-known globally as it should be. The Netherlands are great at producing types of pancakes, from the miniature butter and brown sugar-laden Amsterdam treat known as poffertjes, to pannenkoeken, the large, fluffy pancakes also called Dutch babies. Stamppot, meanwhile, is a must-have for any lovers of mashed potatoes from around the world. And if you’re looking for a savory Dutch snack found not just in the Netherlands itself but in multiple former Dutch colonies like Aruba and Curaçao, bitterballen might be exactly what you’re after.

congeal
意味 固まる [らせる]; 凍る [らせる].
Though there’s a lot of variation among bitterballen, they boil down to the same core concept: meat stew (usually but not always beef) that’s been allowed to congeal in the fridge, which is then rolled into a ball, coated with coarse bread crumbs, and fried. They get their name from the bitter liqueur they were typically served alongside, but with a core concept like deep-fried stew, it’s frankly amazing that they’re not already popular in countries like America that go nuts for fried food.

progenitor
意味 原型.
Though the progenitors of bitterballen could date to as early as 200 B.C., it’s generally believed that the modern version was first created in the 17th century by the wife of an Amsterdam pub owner. For much of the 20th century, meanwhile, they were often utilized as a great way to use up leftovers and save money.

autonomous
意味 〈国· 組織などが〉自治の, 自治権のある, 独立した (independent).
If you’re wondering why you can find bitterballen in both Aruba and Amsterdam, the answer is simple: colonialism. Aruba was a Dutch colony (it became an autonomous kingdom in 1986), meaning you’ll find plenty of Dutch as well as indigenous cultural influences on the island. Bitterballen is one of the best examples of this. Bitterballen are usually made with beef, but you might also see them with veal.
