Have you heard about kapsalon? Atlas Obscura reports that this dish is a street food staple in the city of Rotterdam and consists of fries, meat from döner or shawarma, grated Gouda cheese, salad greens, garlic sauce, and sambal oelek. The dish is typically served in an aluminum container. It was invented in 2003 in a shawarma joint in Rotterdam when a Cape Verdean hairdresser Nathaniël Gomes mixed all his favorite foods into one dish. Soon, he started ordering kapsalon, which means "hairdresser," and the unique dish was born (via DutchReview).
Kapsalon is now a typical example of a Dutch multicultural dish — the meat has Middle-Eastern origins, the hot sambal sauce is originally Indonesian, and the Gouda cheese is probably the most recognizable Dutch product. But, in the end, the dish was invented by an immigrant, just as many other dishes in the Netherlands are — take rijsttafel, for example, an Indonesian feast meaning "rice table," which consists of small portions of beef, chicken, vegetables, skewers, fish stews, and various other ingredients (via InLivin). And nowadays, kapsalon is so popular that it can even be found in other variations — with chicken, falafel, and fish — and in other locations such as Kathmandu, Nepal.
