LE FRIQUE has THE TASTIEST FRIKANDELLEN WE'VE EVER TASTED
Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: Le Frique has the tastiest frikandellen we've ever tasted
Are you, like me, a huge fan of the golden brown lucky stick? Then you really want to know about the frikandellen from Le Frique. There are even several flavors to choose from.
Culinary treat
Le Frique is not a treat you pull out of the wall when you're hungover, no, we are dealing with a real culinary character here. And we owe that all to former banker Frank Tjepkema and former ICT consultant Pieter Stevense who thought that the good old snackbar frikandel could use a culinary upgrade. 2019 was also the birth of Le Frique.
Four flavors
Meanwhile, there are four different flavors of Le Frique available: the Le Frique Classique is where it all started. With a slightly coarser texture and intense flavor (this frikandel contains pork, chicken thighs, breadcrumbs, salt, and the secret Le Frique Classique spice mix) a delicious frikandel that I have even had for breakfast and no, there was no alcohol involved. Le Frique Unique is my personal favorite: a lightly spiced frikandel with fennel seeds that even appears on the menu at the chic Conservatorium Hotel. Le Frique Cajun is the spicy variant with smoked paprika. Also delicious.
Le Frique Veganique
Good news for vegans: Le Frique has recently launched a 100% plant-based frikandel: Le Frique Veganique, which is also sustainably produced. Le Frique Veganique contains no soy or palm oil and consists largely of dried jackfruit, which is produced in East Africa. Local collaboration with female entrepreneurs is involved, creating extra employment opportunities. ‘Because the jackfruit is first dried, up to eight times as much of the fruit can be transported per container. This means a lower CO2 footprint,’ says an enthusiastic Frank. Le Frique Veganique is not only completely plant-based but also gluten-free.
On your snack board
You can find Le Frique among others at freezer store and at Zegro Rotterdam and very soon at Sligro. And of course, ask for it in the hospitality industry, because a snack board with these devilish treats is truly irresistible. #nospon, just love
