A frikandel is a traditional Dutch snack food, a kind of minced meat sausage whose modern form was developed after the Second World War, although related snacks in the region date back to the seventeenth century. It is made from mechanically separated meat, typically a mixture of chicken and pork, combined with breadcrumbs, thickener, herbs, spices, and onion, then deep fried rather than smoked or grilled like most sausages, giving it a cylindrical, chewy, skinless, and dark colored form that is eaten warm.

Who invented the frikandel?
Disputed: Gerrit de Vries in 1954 or Jan Bekkers in 1958.
Who created the modern frikandel is contested. Some say Gerrit de Vries first made it in Dordrecht in 1954 when a law prevented him from selling his product as a meatball, and that he changed the name and shape instead of the recipe. Others say Jan Bekkers created it in Deurne in 1958 and named it frikandel after founding the Beckers factory the following year. The present recipe with very fine mince derives from the 1958 version.
