Just came back from a two week family visit in Holland. A home visit for me always includes a trip to the local supermarket Albert Heijn as I try to eat things I haven't tasted in a while; which brings me to the following: what have I missed most? Well, my top 3 is pretty steady:
1) cheese (any kind)
2) fries with dutch mayonaisse accompanied by a kroket or frikandel
3) dairy products (especially vla)

But as I visited during the holidays season I enjoyed another Dutch "snack" I hadn't eaten in a long time: the oliebol. Around the holidays oliebollen can be found in pretty much every Dutch home and can be bought at specially "decorated" stalls on markets and in city centers.

Ah well, it's probably better for my diet that my home visit has come to an end..never been good at restrictions..but for all of you out there: enjoy while you can!
