Zuurvlees is a Delicious Local Dish in Maastricht
Zuurvlees Local Dish Maastricht | Definition
Zuurvlees Local Dish Maastricht, is a regional meat dish from the Province of Limburg, a province that exists in both the Netherlands and Belgium. This dish called Zuurvlees is similar to carbonade flamande and hachee and Germans might know it as Sauerbraten in some local variations. The sour refers to a process of marinating the meat, traditionally horse meat but nowadays commonly beef, in vinegar. However, despite its name the dish is sweet due to the vinegar being compensated for with apple butter and Dutch gingerbread.

Pieke Potloed | A concept of Maastricht
Pieke Potloed is a Maastricht concept. A true native of Maastricht is always up for pranks and adventures. Always a black face from the mud or coal dust. Its name gained fame thanks to Pieke Dassen, who in earlier years had a puppet show in the town. In that puppet show, Pieke Potloed was the only dialect-speaking doll. Thousands of children enjoyed the adventures of Pieke Potloed at the time. Since 2016, bar-bistro Pieke Potloed has been in the hands of Gilbèr Royen, for many years a familiar face behind the bar of café In den Ouden Vogelstruys on the Vrijthof. Under the new manager, a breath of fresh air is blowing through the bar-bistro and drinks are now on an equal footing with food.
