Duyvis Frites-saus Sleutelhanger
Duyvis is a Dutch brand of salty snacks, peanuts and nuts. Dip sauces are also sold under the Duyvis brand. History The Duyvis name is attested since the 16th century in the Zaanstreek. In 1806, Teewis Duyvis (1757–1832), member of an anabaptist family of Oostzaandam inherited from his uncle the oil windmill near the Zaanse Schans, where it was built in 1670 and is still operational. Oil mills were used in the production of cattle-fodder with linseed oil as a by-product. The grandson of Teewis, who was also called Teewis (1825–1875), took over the company in 1850. The company expanded with several oil mills and was called Teewis Duyvis Jansz, after the grandson of the first Teewis. At one point Duyvis owns seven windmills, primarily in Koog aan de Zaan. In 1880 Ericus Gerardus Duyvis, son of the second Teewis, built a steam oil factory and still produced mainly cattle-fodder. As of 1908 the company started exporting linseed oil and in 1920 it started to refine the oil. Be ...

World War II
World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a world war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. World War II was a total war that directly involved more than 100 million personnel from more than 30 countries. The major participants in the war threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, enabling the strategic bombing of population centres and deploying the only two nuclear weapons ever used in war. World War II was by far the deadliest conflict in human history; it resulted in 70 to 85 million fatalities, mostly among civilians. Tens of millions died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), starvation, ma ...

Brand Name Snack Foods
A brand is a name, term, design, symbol or any other feature that distinguishes one seller's good or service from those of other sellers. Brands are used in business, marketing, and advertising for recognition and, importantly, to create and store value as brand equity for the object identified, to the benefit of the brand's customers, its owners and shareholders. Brand names are sometimes distinguished from generic or store brands. The practice of branding - in the original literal sense of marking by burning - is thought to have begun with the ancient Egyptians, who are known to have engaged in livestock branding as early as 2,700 BCE. Branding was used to differentiate one person's cattle from another's by means of a distinctive symbol burned into the animal's skin with a hot branding iron. If a person stole any of the cattle, anyone else who saw the symbol could deduce the actual owner. The term has been extended to mean a strategic personality for a product or company ...

Borrelnootje
A borrelnootje (English: roughly "cocktail nut") is a nut (often a peanut) with a crispy coating surrounding it, usually with a herbal flavour. It is mainly consumed in the Netherlands. Origin In the 1950s, the company Go & Zoon (later Go-Tan) made peanuts with a crispy outside. They marketed it as "Katjang Shanghai". This family-owned company introduced the nuts from Indonesia, where it is known as ''kacang pedis'' (spicy peanuts). The nuts were imitated by companies such as Calvé and Duyvis. Calvé paid patent rights to Go-Tan for the idea of mass-producing the nuts, whilst Duyvis invented their way of production. Preparation The layer around the cocktail nut consists mainly of starch. Depending on which type of nut, the nut will often be loose from the surround layer. This phenomenon could be a result of dough surround the nut rising, or due to moisture in the dough evaporating causing a decrease in volume. Variations The cocktail nut comes in several variations: * The ...
