Cuisine
Netherlands
Dutch cooking is plain and practical: potatoes, vegetables, cheeses such as Gouda and Edam, herring and thick winter soups. Centuries of colonial trade brought spices and Indonesian dishes into the kitchen, and the streets are full of stands selling chips, croquettes, herring and sweet syrup waffles.
