Dutch Americans celebrate New Year’s Eve with champagne toasts, fireworks, celebrations, and of course, delicious food. One of the culinary traditions associated with the turn of the year is oudejaarspot, a hearty chicken stew. It is the perfect warming dish for someone who may be planning to enact an American version of another Dutch New Year’s tradition: Diving into the frigid waters of the North Sea.
