I have to admit that I could never find anything except chips in the
Hilversum Febo automat that I could identify as human food. I could
just never get into the kroket phenomenon, including bitter ballen
which I was once served at a party and attempted to make appreciative
comments about while looking for a flower pot to dispose of the
evidence. Meat mush encased in burnt bread crumbs, mmmm.

I have to also admint that most of the beer I drank in Holland was
Belgian, primarily Abbe de Leffe Tripel.

The best part of stroopwafels is the aroma of them being cooked on the
carts in the winkelcentrum and in front of Albert Heijn. It takes a
lot of willpower to walk past the carts without buying one.
