What we Miss!!!

kroket.jpg (20763 bytes) A typical Dutch delicacy, the infamous 'kroket'

 

windmills.jpg (13526 bytes) A Dutch sense of humour!

 

 

drop.jpg (16064 bytes) Liquorice or 'drop' as we call it.

 

 

 

 

 

haring.gif (21062 bytes) Oh my God, do we miss 'haring'!!!!!

 

 

 

drugs.jpg (26683 bytes) Do not misunderstand me. We do not use drugs but we miss the down to earth and sensible approach to drugs that is common in Holland. Not the masshysterics we find in Australia where parents, sipping their 10th alcoholic beverage of the day, fly into a rage over their offspring's occasional use of cannabis or the more than stupid politicians who use their platitudes on drugs to gain votes.

oldamsterdam.gif (26357 bytes) We really miss 'oude kaas'. The very tasty old cheese. And we don't mean the Australian 'tasty'. Any Dutch cheese is better than the Australian cheese! We also miss the French raw milk cheeses. Readily available in every cheese shop in Holland but not available in Australia because they cannot use raw milk to make cheese. (By law)

 

 

volkor.jpg (3967 bytes) Volkorenbrood!!! Real brown bread with several grains. Heaven in combination with old cheese.

 

wal.jpg (7284 bytes) The Dutch, commonsense approach to sex. No censorship, no 'Brian Harradines' trying to ban certain movies. It is better for children to watch sex than to watch murder and mayhem. Sex is something you educate your children about, to make sure they practice safe sex. It is not something disgusting that has to be cut out of all shows and films.

 

beatrix3.jpg (50545 bytes) (Click on the image) If you could choose between her and John Howard. Or between her and the ever moody Elizabeth??? Or between the House of Orange or the House of Windsor???
