The frites are quite good generally but the crap they douse them with
they
can keep.

Even the chip saus? :-)

Why don't they just sell their decent chips with the equally decent
fish
they have in other shops?

Why is fresh fish so poor in NL. Every test the Dutch CA does finds
the majority of fish on sale is not fresh.

From watching a Dutch TV programme, I know that a retailer selling
fish in IJmuiden, where it was landed, buys it wholesale in Rungis in
Paris. Sometimes it is returned to NL in the same refrigerated trucks
that were used to export the fish to Rungis.

Not quite as bad as the Scottish herring that is transported to Thailand
and
turned into kippers and then sent back to Scotland (and England for that
matter) to be sold as genuine Scottish kippers. :-)


LOL


But I was not referring to fresh fish but the fried variety as you
probably
realised.


We seemed to have omitted referring to broodje kroket so far

Don't get me started on that.:-)


I have :-)

My daughter who went to a school in NL, went to a reunion in London
recently. Some bright spark arranged it in a Heineken pub which sold
broodje Krokets. it reminded her of why she lives and works in UK.

Do they still have those slot machines (Automatieks) where you buy
those, with frites?

Still in operation and very common in every town center. Usually, for
instance at Febo, it's no different from counter sales. The food is
constantly prepared fresh and in small quantities.
