Ah I don't mind. It's France, they only have Nice people in one city so I get it. And honestly, Dutch cheese is nice on bread but French cheese is a delicacy. Same with the bread. And I don't know if you ever had Dutch wine, but I'm deeply ashamed we even dared to name it wine.
Nice pun.
Thanks I worked hard on it.
I've had some once at a restaurant in Amsterdam that was grown in Brabant, the sommelier said with climate change it was similar conditions to Burgundy in the 70s, but I certainly couldn't taste that hahaha.
Cheese wise, I like them a lot but indeed they feel maybe a bit more utilitarian than a delicacy (like a lot of Dutch food actually), I would say that some of the ones with more age are tough.
I like to say, the Dutch eat to live, the French live to eat ;)
It even goes as far as that we export the highest quality products and keep the shit ones for ourselves because we're too cheap. Export high quality vegitables to France and import mediocre quality from Egypt for example.
Yes! I learned about this recently and to be honest, I was outraged haha. How I wish I could find a nice coeur de boeuf tomato for example...
