          No. Less edible.

              Someone described the best of Dutch food as being grey meat, mashed, with grey vegetables, mashed. The worst looks like something the cat dragged in; and then mashed.

                That’s a fair description, but things have improved lately, just that office canteens seem to be stuck in the 70s. However, I have the rare condition of liking sauerkraut, which puts me at an advantage in any Germanic culture.

                    That’s quite shocking indeed, but this evening I’ll go to my favourite restaurant in Haarlem and eat some game terrine and then grilled duck breast with port sauce. There might be a recession on, but one mustn’t let standards drop, you know.
