I love Dutch herring! I eat it whenever I'm there. I've had both Hollands nieuw and maatsje haring, both nice though the quality really is nice during the right season.

MODERATORS
The Dutch are very tall people. 6" average.
I don't think its tall at all - its merely average to me.
Six inches?
Is that fish raw??
No, it is pickled.
We have pickled herring as well but this one's raw.
You can tell by the pickle next to it. 😉
There was a video about this somewhere.
Basically the Dutch never really developed a “cuisine” and they don’t have one. They don’t even give free meals at school, they care that little about food.
They’re mostly just a “I eat for sustenance” culture who loves snacking instead of actual meals.
The Dutch people I know are fully content just eating bread for every meal.
I thought they all ate they same sandwich every day for lunch? Like all the kids already have that sandwhich with them when they come in to school, no need for free lunches.
Dont get me wrong this was a clickbait article and I am probably misremembering the country anyway.
Am I secretly Dutch?
If they ever invent a pill that I could take for perfect nutrition instead of food, I'd happily do it.
Now with flavor!
I think this is how my wife assumes I eat when left to my own devices.
I totally would if it actually gave enough nutrition to live healthily off of. Having to eat is an annoyance.
Not a pill, but things like Soylent exist
You can't live on it or you'll walk around dribbling out diarrhea all the time.
There was a period before soylent people discovered fiber, when this was true, but now I think all the various manufacturers of this type of stuff adding it, and beyond the almost inevitable adjustment period, it actually stabilises. And we're talking days, not even weeks.
Sure if you go 100% soylent without ramping. Any major diet change usually ends up with diarrhea. Typically your body adjusts. Its the same tired trope when people complain about diarrhea from cuisuine they rarely eat.
I've never done it but know multiple people who have lived off soylent(or alternatives) for long periods of time.
Ah, I haven't actually tried it lol.
I have and believe it or not, you end up with pretty perfect poops. It solidifies in your gut.
I'd imagine if it promises to deliver 100% of what your body needs it incudes a decent amount of fiber
that should be Illegal
We're not judging crimes against food sir.
Yeah, they didn't bring enough to share.
Certainly looks like something in Tom & Jerry.
Let me tell ye lads, those Dutch have access to cheese that we could only dream of.
