San Francisco, CA

We didn’t hear a lot of good stuff about Dutch food, but I found some popular items rather amusing. Frites (French fries) are commonly served with a big glob of mayonnaise. Pickled herring is a very common food found at shacks all over town. Here are a few other food items I found amusing.

We use sprinkles on donuts, cakes and ice cream. The Dutch sprinkle it on toast for breakfast.

Aside from mayo, curry sauce is a popular condiment for fries.

We taste-tested the Lay’s Roasted Chicken with Thyme flavored potato chips. It tastes like potatoes that are roasted with chicken, like they’d soaked up some of the juices. Not great, but not gross either.

FEBO is a Dutch chain of automats you can find all over Amsterdam. You just walk up to the little windows, insert your coins, open the little door and pick up your food.

They sell mostly fried foods, like kroket (croquettes, pictured above), fries, and kassoufflé (cheese soufflé). You can see more pics of what they have to offer on the FEBO site.

A mod Big Wheel with shocks!
