something i have been enjoying a lot since we are back in the netherlands; dutch cheese. so goooooodddd!!! we really didnt eat a lot of good cheese in the usa, i have to say..... above you see the big yellow cheeses... in some fancy shop in amsterdam for tourists.... (i dont think this shop was there 3 years ago, but i could be wrong. taken back in december as you can see by the decorations).
other things i enjoy; "drop" (liquorice) and cookies! we eat way too many cookies... i very well remember the first time i bought some cookies in the usa (nearly 10 years ago now, how weird is that!). when trying them, i thought there was something wrong with them. probably i had bought a pack that wasnt sealed properly. so the next time in the supermarket i got cookies again. and then i realized that that was probably how they were supposed to be; soft and chewy! it was the weirdest thing to me, and i never really got to like american cookies. dutch cookies are hard and crunchy!
ah, we enjoy croissants too, and lots of other dough-stuff. like cheese in puff pastry.... hmmmm, and properly fried fries... its a miracle i actually lost some weight since being back..... :D

The cheese in many European countries is far better than US cheese. Italian, English, French, etc. I don't know much about Dutch cheese.
Yes the cheese in not European countries doesn't taste at all. Don't know what they do with it, it looks like plastic.
Not sure if I have tried Dutch cheese. I will keep an eye open for it now!
You have to look around a bit to find good cheese in the U.S. but there are some nicer cheeses being sold these days. And soft cookies are probably being marketed because they can put in cheaper ingredients - yuck!
Ja, heerlijke Gouda kaas, en dubbelzout drop, en natuurlijk, speculaas !
I get them at a local Dutch bakery.
Coming from Wisconsin, I would adore sampling these cheeses.
