Ever wondered what a wild moor sheep or a carrier pidgeon tastes like? During DAG HAP you might find these exotic delicacies on your plate. The temporary restaurant NL conserven run by the artist/chef Sjim Hendrix opens its doors on the DAG HAP festival grounds. Sjim Hendrix's kitchen is ‘all natural', he finds his ingredients in the surrounding neighborhood and puts them on the DAG HAP menu. NL conserven is open every weekend for lunch and dinner. You will be seated in the FOOD FACTORY or, when weather allows, outside at a communal table made of the blade of a wind turbine. Every day the menu for this happening will be adapted to the ingredients that are available. For people who loves fine dining, who like to be surprised or who simply look forward to an adventurous and unique lunch or dinner party with friends and family, the NL conserven restaurant is the place to be!

The 29-year old Sjim Hendrix, a pupil of celebrity chef Dick Soek, is both a chef and a visual artist. He is always on the look-out for the significance of food, special taste sensations and the value of eating and consuming. According to Sjim the factory-produced food in the supermarket pales in comparison with the taste of real food, caught in the wild or grown in our own back garden.
