...hotdogs! you can get them in amsterdam.....
i didnt try them. in the supermarket we also have "real american pizza", but then i went to america and couldnt find that "real american pizza" as i knew it....
like the "dutch cheese" thats not always dutch cheese if its not actually from the netherlands.... and so on and so on....
just recently i read in the newspaper that the ducth like starbucks. they dont mind to pay a little more for that coffee as it gives them the feeling of doing like the new yorkers do, walking around with a cup of coffee... i dont get it! we have good coffee and one of the things i missed when in the usa were the cafes where you could really sit down and get a real good coffee (not the diluted american stuff) in a real cup (tastes so much better in a cup as compared to a carton-to-go). but well.... i guess those dutch just want to goto new york!! (and i wouldnt mind a visit either... its been over a year now...)

Yeah! American hot dogs.
There is room in the world for both Starbucks and leisurely cafes.
I agree with you about the coffee. Have been in Starbucks once in Amsterdam, but I prefer our own tasteful coffee. Still a bit homesick to the States......?
I rarely buy coffee anymore when I'm away from home. Even Starbucks isn't so good. Once you've had a decent cup it's just not worth it to drink that icky brown water they call coffee. (We have a Nespresso coffee maker now - great coffee - European.)
