This is the ultimate Zwarte Cross snack: spicy, crunchy, and filled with a deliciously smooth filling,\u201d the organization said at the launch. The snack consists of a mildly spicy, tender minced meat filling coated in a crispy crust, seasoned generously and finished with a subtle tang. Exactly the way retired festival director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tanterikie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tante Rikie<\/a> likes it. It is also a substantial snack, providing a solid base before a long evening of partying. The launch proved to be an immediate success. In its very first year, more Tante Rikanto snacks were sold than the traditional Dutch favorites, frikandels and croquettes. For Feestfabriek, that success created both a literal and figurative appetite for more.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_93032\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93032\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-93032\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Zwarte-Cross-snack-Tante-Rikanto-1-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"Zwarte Cross snack Tante Rikanto - credits tomdoms\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zwarte-Cross-snack-Tante-Rikanto-1-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zwarte-Cross-snack-Tante-Rikanto-1-600x363.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zwarte-Cross-snack-Tante-Rikanto-1-270x164.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zwarte-Cross-snack-Tante-Rikanto-1-373x226.jpg 373w, https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zwarte-Cross-snack-Tante-Rikanto-1.jpg 710w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-93032\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zwarte Cross snack Tante Rikanto &#8211; credits tomdoms<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Tante Rikanto will be nationwide available<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Naturally, the Tante Rikanto snack will be widely available in the Netherlands during the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zwartecross\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zwarte Cross<\/a> festival in July.
