It’s amazing, sometimes, how small things will get you really excited. Yesterday, I did a little bit of looking for Dutch foods online, to see if I could find a place in Denver that might sell some things I’ve been dying to have. As luck would have it, I found that that pretty much has them all, and they deliver, too! I found the site for
Dubbel Dutch, and as I went through all the foods they have there, I grew more and more excited. I’ll finally be able to have some belegen kaas (old cheese) again, as well as pannekoeken, met Nederlandse stroop (Dutch pancakes and syrup, a lot different than the American versions). I decided to also get some stroopwafels, of course, and coekjes (cookies). While I don’t normally get very excited over food, I haven’t stopped thinking about this stuff since I ordered it yesterday. I think only an ex-pat (or an ex-ex-pat) can fully appreciate how exciting it can be to have some of the delicious foods from a place you used to call home. I can’t wait! Now if only I can find a place that makes decent shoarma…
So, what are some of the foods that you miss having?
