Food and Music of The Netherlands

Breakfast- fresh bread, cheese, cooked meats, sausage, butter, chocolate sprinkles, jam or honey, and often a boiled egg.

Lunch- Same generally as breakfast

Dinner- Within the house, home cooked meals. Generally do not go out of the house to eat food at the local McDonald’s though. It helps to eat at the home, that’s probably why they aren’t as fat as the common American.

They usually drink coffee, teas, chocolate/fruit juice

Their music is the same as ours, they don’t exactly have rap there though, due to the lack of African American population living in their borders.

Tourism in The NetherlandsWell, if one were by chance to visit the Netherlands you could go visit the many Dutch windmills or maybe even pick up some wooden shoes. You could also go watch a futbol game by the Holland team. But, if you stopped per say into a coffee shop in Amsterdam you could pick yourself up some good dope. Only weed is for sale though, they don’t take kindly to people coming in looking for coke. It is technically illegal by the laws of the Netherlands, but 5 grams per person can be sold in these “coffee shops” legally. But seriously, if you just want a cup of coffee you can go to a café.
