The Frikandel's origin dates back to 1954, when Gerrit de Vries, a butcher in Dordrecht, faced legal issues selling his 'gehaktbal' (meatball). He reformulated it into a skinless sausage to circumvent regulations, creating the predecessor to the modern Frikandel. The 'Speciaal' variation emerged later, adding the condiments that elevated it to fast-food fame.

The Frikandel Speciaal is a symphony of savory, sweet, tangy, and umami flavors. The deep-fried sausage provides a meaty base, while the condiments add contrasting and complementary notes.
The Frikandel itself boasts a mildly spiced, savory meat flavor, often with hints of nutmeg and pepper. The mayonnaise contributes creamy richness and a slight tang. Curry ketchup (or sometimes tomato ketchup) provides sweetness and a mild spiciness with subtle curry notes. The raw chopped onions offer a sharp, pungent bite that cuts through the richness of the other components, adding textural contrast.

Condiment Ratio
The key to a perfect Frikandel Speciaal lies in the balance of condiments. Experiment with different ratios to find your preferred level of sweetness, creaminess, and onion sharpness.
Freshness Matters
Opt for a Frikandel Speciaal made with freshly deep-fried sausage and freshly chopped onions for the best flavor and texture. Stale ingredients significantly diminish the experience.
Curry Ketchup Variation
While curry ketchup is the standard, some prefer tomato ketchup. Try both to determine your favorite variation, as the type of ketchup greatly affects the overall flavor profile.
