The other day, I was in the local Albert Heijn's doing a bit of shopping. It occurred to me that I could really use some nuts, since I don't eat much meat and need the protein. So I stroll over to the nut section, and spot some delectable clear plastic packages of chocolate covered... things. I have two options: chocolade pinda's (I have no idea why there is an apostrophe in there, but there is), and chocolade rozijnen. Hmm. Both packages contained fairly identical chocolate-coated lumps, so I can’t figure it out visually. I squint at the Dutch labels and try to reason out what exactly is under the chocolate. Rozijnen sort of looks like raisin, right? And raisins are a classic food to smother in chocolate. But I don’t want to be an arrogant American and make an assumption based on my own cuisine, so I keep looking around and finally find another clear plastic package of rozijnens. Aha, I say to myself, they are raisins. One mystery solved. I don’t like raisins, so that package of chocolate lumps is not for me. But what about the other, the chocolade pinda’s? What else do the Dutch like with chocolate? I investigate the shelves a bit further and find a package of pinda’s that, when inspected, turns out to contain peanuts! Case closed! I went home with some chocolate covered peanuts, well pleased in my victory over my ignorance. I’m now on my second such container of deliciousness, and I highly recommend that everyone try some.
