That sounds interesting! I have seen people order french fries on french bread in Belgium. Not sure what it is called. I have since discovered that it is also eaten in Great Britain. There it is called a chip sarnie. Pam

This post is getting more fun every day! I am not a big patat eater, but my kids like it any way. When ordering from the snack bar they do like the mayo/ peanut sauce combination sprinkled with chopped onions. I think it is called patatje oorlog (frie war) because of the indigestion it...

Suus, it sounds like you know Amsterdam! We don't eat there often, but when we do it is usually in the Jordaan. The best fries are to be found at 'Manneken Pis' which is on the Damrak! This is according to the newspaper 'Het Parool'. I'm sure all the patat prepared in the Belgian way are...

Sorry I missed this post. I've not been around for a while. Do let us know what you ate and where. I'm in Amsterdam now and then. Pam

I almost always have a drink, coffee or water. Sometimes a glass of wine. I occasionally eat in front of the computer, but not often. It can lead to mindless eating, just like eating while reading. Pam

Thank you for your post. I needed that. Not to regain my personal integrity, but to know that there are people out there fighting and winning!! Well done. Pam

Coffee is very Dutch. They like it strong. Espresso is popular here. We don't have starbucks! It is probably a matter of time as I have heard their European headquarters are in Amsterdam. Does anybody have a Senseo? This is a coffee maker using coffee pads. It is simpler to use than...

I also enjoyed the newsletter. It is a good reminder just how many knowledgable people post here. Thank you all. Pam

I rarely ate Fritos when living in The States. Somehow I missed them, lots. My sister is a stewardess for United Airlines. On a flight she met the big Frito's boss. She mentioned me to him. He sent me a gigantic box of fritos!!! Sent all the way here, in the Netherlands! Talk about a...

Carrot coriander soup is my current favorite. pam

Hello Mrs Dove. I used to live in the Denver area. It really is a special place, isn't it? Baking can be a bit tricky because of the altitude. Pam

I went to school in Greeley. I remember the smell of sugar beets and beef processing plant. Where do you live? Pam

Olive oil, red wine vinegar, a bit of sugar, a bit of mustard, a bit of garlic. Salt and pepper to taste. The oil vinegar ratio is a matter of personal taste. I use 50/50, but it is too sour for my husband. My mother always did 2 parts oil, 1 part vinegar. Pam

I do visit various forums. It is great because you can find a forum about any subject or concern. there is a new forum recently started that is pretty small scale and very friendly. http://www.lisclassic.com/thetearoom/index.php Pam

I would hesitate to buy a really heavy wok for a glass top. What if you accidently drop it? I have heard of it happening. I have a flat bottom wok. It is not wonderful. It does not ever get really hot. An electric wok sounds like something I would like to investigate. Wonder if they...

This is my maiden name. Pam seems to be taken. I have a problem remembering what I am signed in as. I would not have used my full maiden name if I had known it would turn up on google! Not that I have had any problems...perhaps I should change it. Pam

I thought you were talking about me! Pam

I saw some this weekend that were fun. They were really thin glass, without a stem. It was a kind of mini fish bowl. I am still thinking about them. Might just have to buy them. Pam

One of my absolutely favorite movies of all time! Pam

That sounds good to me. I have a recipe but can't find it. Let us know how it turns out. Pam

I just looked it up and found a site that recommended salt and lemon juice. http://foodservice.chef2chef.net/tools/tips/data/CleaningWooden.shtml We used to use salt and ice cubes to clean out the coffee pots when i was waitressing. the salt and lemon juice idea sounds interesting. Pam

If you are ever in Amsterdam you have to let me know. I am 25 minutes away by train! Pam
