@RichqrddeNooy ‘kon minder’ (maybe to be translated as ‘had worse’?) is a good second. Of course you had. It’s the Netherlands.

Food is no laughing matter in the Netherlands. In the province of Groningen, diners will express their approval of a dish by muttering: ‘Het is goed binnen te houden’, which roughly translates as: ‘This won’t make me vomit.’

@RichqrddeNooy breaded cardboard! Now wash that down with our signature premium lager. That this tastes of nothing at all and still is called ‘premium’ tells you all you need to know about the ‘dutch palate’.

Deep-fried food — locally revered as “the brown fruit” — is a cornerstone of Dutch culture. After work on Fridays, the Dutch gather for a “borrel”, which is best described as “sunless sundowners”. After a while, a tray of nondescript snacks is served, which all look different, but taste the same.

@Eetschrijver @Greetschrijver en het is vreemd, ik heb meerdere keren geprobeerd dat hoera-gevoel te (re)creëren met basis-ingrediënten, zelf koken, tijd nemen, langzaam garen, verschillende recepten, resultaat laten afkoelen en weer opwarmen, maar helemaal hetzelfde wordt het niet.

Trek zo’n blik open en het is er weer meteen.
