The first borrel

They'll warm your heart and burn your tongue.
The Eindhoven calendar project continues with the month of March!
March is the month of early spring. After a long and grey winter, people in the Netherlands love to take advantage of every opportunity to enjoy the sunshine and a little warmth. In normal times, that means you meet with a bunch of people after work for a “borrel” – drinks and bar snacks. And of course the most famous Dutch bar snack are “Bitterballen”, a thick meat sauce that’s rolled into a ball and then deep-fried.
I chose a blue background because the early spring is still quite cold, and the beautiful orange of the bitterballen warms your heart. (They will also burn your tongue if you’re not careful.)
Can you feel the spring sun warm up the cold air?
