Maybe it’s part of cheese making. Who could know.
Angies brother was in Holland as an exchange student in high school. A family with 7 girls, no boys. They owned a dairy farm.
They had a long dining table and one night the mother was scolding one of the younger girls (about 5). The little girl jumped up and went running down the middle of table to get away from her.
They lived in Winschoten.
ah winschoten… you should have mentioned thats in groningen and practise your g;)
finish the story and include more details, what happened then?
was that little girl wearing wooden shoes with cow poop on it and how was dinner after that?
It’s lunchtime in the Netherlands. Time to take the bread out of the freezer.

lol “legal loopholes” will always be exploited by all banks and most likely governments know about it
when caught they (read: their customers) will pay the fine
Interesting article about Dutch literature. It has aroused my curiosity enough to order Het Diner (The Dinner) by Herman Koch.
Why would anyone want to know more about the Dutch? And if one does, this informative video tells you everything you might need to know.
One of my favorite authors Knut Hamsun was a Norwegian Nazi sympathizer but he sure could write.

One thing I hated about Amsterdam were those damn ball-knocker posts along the sidewalks.

Do you think the name of Chef Boyardee came from bollard? Pronouncing double l like y. Like one who attends a bollard to tie ships.
Maybe at a busy port of merchant ships some crew might point to the bollard and say boy yard or shipyard boy.
guess he wanted to make it easier for people to pronounce his name right or he thought boiardi is too difficult for americans?
Odd enough the company got sued for 5 mil with a claim of false advertising having no preservatives. The guy suing was banking on his chemistry and “citric acid” apparently. Somethings you add for flavor are just that.
This is British but I believe the culprit must surely have been Dutch. Ralph Bishop is probably a pseudonym for Nico van der Bestialiteit.
Haha! “interfering” with a tractor.
