I agree with your findings on Krokette, Fla, Drop (the softer and sugary ones are the best), stroopwaffels and cheese. You forgot to mention poffertjes. These are my best. If you haven't had any yet go find them and when (or if) you ever come home for a vist again, bring some with!<BR/>However, the big fish fan that I am, I do NOT enjoy Parling (raw herring). I'm not sure whoever thought this would be a nice treat but I'll stick to the other things thanks:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34552736.post-78657355140842042592007-05-10T16:53:00.000+02:002007-05-10T16:53:00.000+02:00Douche is one of the tame funnies in the Nederland...Douche is one of the tame funnies in the Nederlandse language. ask about breeding animals and stand back!!!

Wrong. Our Afrikaaners were big on being independent from the start - hence the Great Trek and the Transvaal (there is a Transvaalkwartier in The Hague). <BR/><BR/>Being a past colony would definitely have helped in my visa status though. The place is swarming with Surinamese.

The Dutch East India company where just the first to put a colony in CapeTown and a fort there. They where never really interested in the rest of SA, only in the re-stocking of their ships to and from India where they where making a fortune in the Spice trade. It was only when the English moved in on the cape that and the settlers, there many of dutch origin, where not happy with the English rule moved further north. And only really after the discovery of Gold and Diamonds (and some wars)was South Africa as we know it today finaly an english colony. <BR/><BR/>To read more on this go back to Std 4Corporate Slave #45793https://www.blogger.com/profile/16578991279711173271noreply@blogger.com
