From 1624 until 1674, New Netherland was a colony of the Dutch Republic (1581–1795). The territory on the east coast of North America attracted a stream of immigrants that brought with them foodways and cooking skills from the Dutch provinces. For generations, the settlers engaged in the preparation and consumption of home-country foods, such as hoofdkaas (headcheese, brawn or souse), puffert (a boiled or steamed pudding), New Year's cake, wafels (waffles and wafers) and oliebol (Dutch doughnut). After the Dutch introduction of tea in America, in the 1650s, a “genuine” Dutch tea table developed. This article explores recipes that reflect the migration of humble Dutch fare to America, and discusses the Dutch tea table as a typical Dutch American food custom, and an example of social distinction and upwards mobility
