Ah, great to see your site – we just returned from Amsterdam and were searching for great reminders of our trip. My husband REALLY got into the herring – we had to stop at every herring stand we saw. My fav. was the Poffertjes with gran marnier – YUMMY – can’t find those in the states. I’m searching for recipes and how to find a poffertjes pan! Also, with the french fries, it’s a different kind of mayonnaise – not like we have here in the states – it’s a little sweeter and a PERFECT complement to the crispy fries.

you should go find “siroop” or “stroop” waffles. thin, wafer-like waffles with cramel pressed into the center. they are only about 4 inches in diameter and often sold with hot coffee or tea. you put them over your hot cup to soften.

Deep-fried chocolate bars, deep-fried oreo cookies–sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar after they come out of the deep-fryer–are sold at various food stalls on the beachfronts and boardwalks of the U.S.A. I tried some out of curiosity, and thought…hmm…I’d much rather have those fat french fries from Amsterdam. At least those are more worth the calories.

Marketman, you are getting nearer and nearer to the Jersey Strawberries and Jersey cream! Go accross to Paris, then take the TGV to St Malo, then a boat ride to Jersey!

Btw, i found some clams in the market today but i will wait to buy them on Saturday so i can cook them fresh… can’t wait!
