Dutch Cuisine

I'm staying at the Holiday Inn in Amsterdam and at lunchtime today they served cheese sandwiches and milk. Holland - unlike its neighbour Belgium - is not known for its cuisine. However, it does have a distinctive fast food culture: frikendel (deep fried skinless sausage) kroket (deep fried meat croquette) and bitterbal (small kroket, I think). I don't think it matters what the meat is. Mention these to a Dutch person living abroad and they'll start salivating.
