Also, to nag a bit, Holland is just 2 out of 12 provinces of the Netherlands.

A very Dutch custom is to take the round toasts (beschuit) and put a lot of butter and blue or pink glazed anise grains on them for guests attending a baby shower, or other events for newborn babies. They are definitely NOT meant to be eaten on their own. The only case which I can remember seeing people eating them with nothing on them is on a kids gameshow, where kids have to eat one of those toasts raw, and the first kid to manage to whistle afterwards (the dry and sawdusty texture makes it almost impossible) wins.

Being from the Netherlands, I'm going to translate the things TB tried to read: - "Kaas domino" - Chees dominos - "draag eens een steentje bij" - An expression meaning something along the lines of do your part, help people (but usually in the context of a group, not an induvidual). - "Vernieuwde receptuur" - Renewed recept, new recept. BTW, the only things I recognized and are popular here are: - Hagelslag - the breakfast chocklate flakes - Paprica chips (these are the most common chips around here) - Stroopwafels (the things Genna tried to steal) - windmill cookie (but we just call it speculaas, and it always breaks) - The mints - And a thing you didn't eat, the salty liqurish. I saw you had it on the guide, but I guess TB thought they where mints. Probably good for TB, because I suspect that they're similar to the Finnish liquerish.

I love how he goes like "Yeah, I can definitely taste some wine in there" after tasting the "Wineball" at 11:53, while wineballs thank their name to the deep-red colour they are produced in, not the actual flavour or any of the ingredients themselves. KINDA PRETENTIOUS.

There's a party game where everybody eats a slice of "beschuit", and the first one to whistle wins. For added fun, try to eat a whole roll of beschuit without drinking anything. They're not really meant as a replacement for bread, but they keep good pretty much indefinitely. They're nice with strawberries on them. And they're the traditional food eaten with aniseed sprinkles ("muisjes") on the arrival of a new-born child. We now have King Willem Alexander, son of Beatrix, daughter of Juliana, daughter of Wilhelmina, of whom the Mints speak.

Well, apart from the obvious reasons, it's because we don't actually consume a lot of it. The very point of legalisation was to take the soft drugs trade out of the criminal circuit and reduce the number of addicts, and statistics show it's really worked...

Russia doesn't have their own proper snacks, as far as I know. Only shitty stuff that get manufactured here and tastes like crap, poor quality and such. Nothing out of the ordinary anyway, just candy. Boring. Or you can get a box full of borsch (which is a Ukranian thing btw, originaly) lol.

As someone from the Netherlands, I'm going to try to describe every piece of food in this video and how you normally eat it. The first thing we call beschuit. It's a very light and tasteless...thing. You're generally speaking supposed to eat it with butter and something else on top of it. Most people put something solid like cheese or eggs on it. It's basically like eating a sandwich but instead of the taste of bread you use something tasteless that makes the taste what you put on top of it less noticeable. The second food is just chocolate caramel like everyone can clearly see. We like out chocolate caramel here. Although I personally dislike caramel somewhat because of how sticky it is. As you can see from the third food, we also like out layered biscuits. It seems TB got unlucky. Most biscuits here are chocolate layered biscuits, not cheese layered. I personally don't mind cheese layered ones but chocolate layered is much better. The fourth food is something we have in many types and tastes. It's called hagelslag. Most people don't use it because it's a mess but they can taste pretty good. They are available in what are basically coloured sticks of sugar and pretty much every type of chocolate you can imagine (including small thick pieces of chocolate). There are probably some types I'm forgetting. Fifth food is just a mint. We like mint. There is nothing more to say about it. Sixth food is another mint. Seriously? They couldn't at least pick 1 of the many candies with mint taste we have? The seventh food is just a generic brand of crunchy chips. Just stick with lays, they taste better in my opinion. In fact, even corn based chips like Doritos taste better in my opinion. Ah yes, stroopwafels as the eight food. Surprisingly few people actually eat them. They are nice as a quick and taste snack but most people here prefer the softer baked goods. Ninth food, chocolate covered biscuits. We like them. We like them a lot. They are pretty much our national food we eat them that much. The tenth food is by the sound of it chocolate with coffee taste. The bane of any child and even many adults. It's something you just have to try to be able to judge it. The eleventh food looks like speculaas. I can't really describe what it is. You just need to taste it to know what it is. Fun fact: they are associated with a holiday we celebrate called Sinterklaas. It's a holiday we celebrate on the 5th of December. It's basically Santa Claus from Spain. We also celebrate Christmas btw so we basically celebrate it twice (December is a very expensive month here). The twelfth food is just a sugar filled candy. They taste very sweet but don't have much more to them. Pretty much 1 of the most bland candies you can think off. 13th food is just a generic piece of soft chewing candy. You probably tasted it before. Imagine the most bland piece of soft chewing candy you can imagine and add a taste to it. Very boring but it taste pretty nice if you want something to chew on. Note for the mints: you're supposed to suck on them, not chew on them. They taste the same on the outside as they do on the inside so there is no point on chewing on them. It was nice to see what other people think of our food and foods are actually special to our country. It is a bit sad though that only cold foods can be included in a package like this. We have a lot more foods. Foods like the gehaktbal (A ball of meat), the frikandel (a deep-fried stick of generic meat), the kroket (soft almost liquid meat on the inside with a crusty outside, again deep-fried) and a lot of other types of meats. Yeah, we like out meat, especially deep-fried meat.

It was basically a typical, bland and cheap Dutch box: shitty and cheap cookies/biscuits that go well with tea or coffee and some mints. One piece of bland shit together with watery coffee pretty much sums up our Dutch culture. Universal Yums did a great job of spotting that.

Just for reference: the double O in stoopwafels is pronounced more like strope (so, stropewaffels). Same with my nick: Not Hoop like a basketball hoop, but Mest Hope! As for the contents of the box: Like most other Dutchies said, it was pretty mediocre. We like cheese, hence the Kaas Dominos, but I don't know anyone who actually eats those. Also that toast thing: No one calls that toast. Toast here is just the same as toast everywhere. That is called Beschuit (one of the reasons why it has the form of a biscuit). Also no one eats them dry. They are a receptacle for eating toppings, that's it.

She doesn't even likes games (other than a couple of casual Capcom games) yet she asks about how John is doing from time to time and is always to happy that he's doing better. I find that really sweet, maybe that'll cheer you (and maybe even him) up a bit. Have a nice day~
