DUTCH DIETARY ADVICE

It is with quite some surprise that I just found out that the town where I grew up and went to grammar school had a fast food stand proprietor named "Pieman". Pee-man. No, it doesn't mean that in Dutch. Still and nevertheless. Desalniettemin en niet tegenstaande. Fast food in the Netherlands means fried. Potato, kroket, bamischijf, frikandel unidentifiable fried objects. You'd be surprised. Anyhow. Pee-man.

No wonder the Dutch invented the donut.
Which is not available there.
It's Dutch American.


My dinner just now was pan-fried pork with chilipaste and turnip cake. Sort of Chinese, sort of Dutch. Washed down with coffee, which is very Dutch. It's only English people who have beer with hot things, we Dutch want to be wide awake to enjoy the moment fully. Imagine a Dutchman in Texas. Chili con carne and stuffed Jalapeños? Black coffee.

Yucatán Peninsula? Wired to the eyebrows.

That's where Habaneros are originally from. Related to the Madame Jeanette.
I should point out that Madame Jeanettte makes a lovely sambal oelek.
Very nice. Perfect for curried goat. Try it, you will love it.
You may need some extra coffee with that.

ERGENS IN MOKUM

A friend moved to Amsterdam at the beginning of the year with her husband and kids. Largely because the Dutch are sane, unlike Americans, and believe in progress, unlike Americans, and don't have a whole bunch of wannabe gestapo running round beating up on people who look like they might not be Scotch Irish, or sound like it. FYI: sambal oelek (hot chili paste) is NOT Scotch Irish. It would probably give those kuffers nightmares.
Neither is coffee. That's why American coffee is so kuffing awful.


You know, upon sober reflection, I think we should kick all of those fascist troglodytes the hell out and give this whole country back to the Dutch Americans.
It would improve the food AND the coffee.



By the way: The epitome of Scotch Irish is McDonalds. And just look at what those kuffers have done to cheese! Or coffee! Or muffins! They should be burned at the stake for that!

We need taco trucks on every corner, is what.
