[Fredslist] Amsterdam & Hague advice/Tips

[Susan Pickman]

Excellent point about "rijsttafel" Gerry.  Small dishes, but tons of great food.  Also, there are some wafers with caramel (or something) inside that you warm on your coffee cup.  There are great little sandwich shops.  Yum.  Yum.

Popular side dishes include egg rolls, sambals, satay, fish, fruit, vegetables, pickles, and nuts. In most areas where it is served, such as the Netherlands, and other areas of heavy Dutch influence (such as parts of the West Indies), it is known under its Dutch name."
