And the stained sheets, too, eh...???

Dutch cuisine is pretty universally disdained, even by the Dutch. The
height of Dutch culinary aspiration is the "krokette", a deep - fried ball
of whatever...the first krokette dates from 1254, it was found recently in
an archeological dig...it's on display at the Riijksmuseum in Amsterdam in
fact!

Then there is the dreaded KLM cheese sandwich, the butt of many jokes over
the years...
