The Czaar Peterstraat is a playground for treasure hunters. Small specialized shops in abundance, new ones popping up frequently. One of the latest being Dreamboat, a stylish yet groovy fashion spot for cosmopolitan city dwellers. Worscht is another treasure trove, one that is filled with sausages and ‘accessories’: Czaar Peter beer, bread, mustard and pickles. The sausages in stock are organic and made in a traditional way. Dried sausages, smoked sausages, sandwich sausages, aperitif sausages. Sausages with red wine or walnut, mortadella, boudin noir. It’s easily to get lost in this mighty meat jungle. So why don’t you focus on the sausage I traced recently? A dried pork sausage based on the recipe of fa chong, a classic Chinese sausage! Fa chong is often used for noodle and rice dishes, but the version of quality butcher Spijkerman (Akkrum, Friesland) is made to pair with your pre-dinner drinks. It’s a rather spicy devil; the meat is blended with Madame Jeanette pepper. To soothe your senses you may want to eat it with gherkins or Amsterdam onions.
