Our Samplings of Dutch Cuisine
- Erwtensoep. This is a split pea soup, but with both sausage and bacon. It is supposed to be so thick that you can stand a spoon up in it. We had it, I don't think the spoon would have stayed standing, but it was quite yummy. Perfect for a blustery day!
- Koffiemelk. This is a sort of evaporated milk that the Dutch commonly add to coffee. It's very thick and must be stirred. It is good, but I prefer regular mlk with my coffee.

When Dan was looking at places, I kept seeing this word as a feature of homes. I guessed that it must be the same as the French word magnetoscope (VCR). How I was wrong! Madeline
Dan, you should mention that in Holland a Magnetron is not just the inner workings of the microwave (as appears to be the same word in English), but the entire microwave device itself!!
Thanks Dan for your insightful commentary!
