The cuisine in Holland and Belgium

The Dutch cuisine is not famous, but you can definitely eat well! Wonderful cheese, freshest fish, butter, vegetables and meat form the basis of Dutch dishes. Although the Dutch cannot boast the world-famous recipes of the Italians or French, you will always find something delicious on the menu. There are particularly interesting influences from Indonesian and Caribbean cuisine, as these are colonies of Holland. The Belgian cuisine is well known for three things – French fries which were invented there, indulgent chocolate and exquisite beer. What more could you want?
