Food, Glorious Food!

On Friday night we ate dinner on the "Pannenkoekenboot" (translation: The Pancake Boat). We got a tour of the Rotterdam harbor and ate all the pancakes we could eat for 1 hour. The pancakes are thin like crepes and you put on them any kind of topping you want: meats, cheeses, boiled eggs, chocolates, syrups, fruits, etc. It was delicious.

Ryan eats one last pancake before the boat docks.

Poffertjes. Delicious silver dollar sized fluffy pancakes served with butter and powdered sugar (also whipping cream and strawberries). I bought Ryan a pan that can cook these for Father's Day in 2004. We've made them for dinner a few times and they are tasty. However, from this street vendor, they were heavenly!

Quarter Chicken and frittes. FYI, they eat fries with mayonnaise or with "American Frittes Sauce" which consists of mayo, mustard and dill. Have you ever eaten fries with that?

Stuffed Sol and Frittes.

For lunch most every day, we ate cheese sandwiches - I loved it. Gouda and Edam cheeses are delicious!
For breakfasts, we ate a variety of foods, including bread with butter and sprinkles that you eat with fork and a knife. They come in chocolate and fruity flavors. I've found this online store that will sell them to you if you want to give it a try. Sabrina loves this as an after-school snack.
