Dutch food is comforting. Try *Stroopwafel* (caramel waffle), *Frites* (fries with special sauces), and raw herring (*Haring*), a local delicacy. Although traditional cuisine is not as spicy as Chilean, Indonesian influence has brought exotic dishes like *Rijsttafel*. For drinks, beer is the star, with many excellent local brands.
