In many families, Dutch traditions are still alive. The tasty New Year's Eve treat, called oliebollen, are drop-donuts with raisins and apple pieces in them. Canadian donut shops have something called a "Dutchie" that is similar to the oliebollen. Boerenkool stamppot is a favourite winter food made of green curly cabbage and potatoes, and served with sausage. Zoute drop (salty licorice) continues to be sold in many Dutch shops across Canada, along with ontbijtkoek (a spicy dark cake) and muisjes (bits of chocolate that are sprinkled on buttered bread).
