Amsterdam Netherlands
Sex, Drugs and Rock n’ roll
Nope
We didn’t have it
What we did have is food. A lot of food =). It didn’t have any connection to what considered to be after effects of the joints. It was for the fact that we were hungry… when were not hungry we just wanted to eat. =)
I am not think there is a lot to say about Dutch food. There is the French fries (we call them french. I think they considered to be from Belgium and they are still kind of Dutch food). And that’s it.
We tried to go to a Dutch restaurant. But apparently they didn’t have Dutch dishes.
In a matter of fact there is another thing that is Dutch and we ate: Pancakes.Pancake with Bacon and cheese
Pancake with Salmon and sour cream
Pancake with cheese and tomatoes
mini pancakes with sugar and lemon, etc.
That was a tasty vacation=)
Take Care

No… we didn’t eat Falafel… Atzva cousin run a falafel store here so we jumped to say hi… But it wasn’t even that falafel store….
