> came to Netherlands for a short visit and oh my god how much better the food is

I really don't want to know what the food is like where you came from, but it may be a WMD test or something. You should get human rights activists and lawyers working on it.

Now imagine Netherlands has a reputation in Europe as having the most bland and utilitarian cuisine.

Things which very rarely receive compliments in the Netherlands haha

If you like Dutch food, your tastebuds might literally explode when you encounter real French or Italian cuisine lol
