I'm just posting this link to some preliminary information, for now:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Dutch_sausages

Mike (PitRow) and I got to talking abut this subject today, and I was surprised at how little information there is.

It seems that Dutch sausages are overwhelmed by their neighbor Germany and it's sausage styles. It's certainly true that they share many styles, for example Dutch Leverworst and German Leberwurst are basically the same thing.

The few that stand out to me as typical "Dutch" are rookworst, which is a generic term for smoked (rook) sausage. I've found a few recipes around the web for this, but most people I ask reply along the lines of "why make it when you can just buy it in the store." It seems that home sausage making is a skill that's rapidly being lost in Holland.

The second that's uniquely Dutch, in my opinion, is frikandel. Basically it's a caseless hotdog, with it's own spice blend. Not quite as fully emulsified as an American hotdog but not too far off either.

In my searching on the web I've found a few resources in Dutch but I find I have little time to work on translating them so it often gets pushed to the back burner.

I do have to note that not all of those above are strictly "Dutch", nor even some of them sausage in a traditional sense. For example, blinde vinken (Blind Finches) seems to be more of a Belgian thing than Dutch, but surely there's some overlap. And they are not a sausage like you'd think of them, they are basically a meatball wrapped in very thinly sliced/pounded veal.
