Just returned from three days in the Netherlands. A few observations on the food.
The office cafeteria offered traditional dutch cuisine each day. On day one it was deep fried ham and cheese sandwiches. The next day it was deep-fried sausage links. And finally on day three it was what appeared to be (surprise!) deep fried shredded roast beef and gravy sticks. Apparantly the Dutch did not learn to cook for themselves until the advent of the deep-fryer. The other interesting thing about the cafeteria was that it offered free milk everyday to all employees (how 'bout washing down your fat with a little fat?). I'm not sure if the cuisine in Holland has anything to do with the fact that marijuana is legal there, but it seems like most of their dishes were created at about 3 a.m. in the back of a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Speaking of which, the only KFC I have seen in Europe so far was in the Netherlands, and it was about the size of a Super Target and open 24 hours a day.
