Zonder Slaagroom Without Whipped Cream (The Dutch like it on everything)
I love how so many fruits are based on appels :)
ReplyDeleteRight! Even the potato is an "aardappel"; maybe it's like the French "pomme de terre" (apple of the earth).
DeleteHa! My brother has been living in Amsterdam for years, and he tells me he hasn't learned any Dutch. You're doing just fine.
ReplyDeleteI love languages. I took an introductory course in Dutch in 1986 just for fun, but forgot most of it.
DeleteI took notes from a few menus so I could cope with the ones that didn't have translations.
Love this!
ReplyDeleteZonder Slaagroom is fun to say, but I wouldn't say it. :)
Hooray for chocolade and appel. I need to memorize the entire list!
When we returned to the Jasmine Palace in Rotterdam in 1993, 1.5 years after our first visit in 1991, the waiter said to us, "Oh, you're the couple who doesn't like whipped cream!" :-)
DeleteWhat? You don't like whipped cream?
Delete*faints*
*hands Jama smelling salts*
DeleteYes. Also lactose intolerance. And we don't like it enough to take the Lactaid pills and allow for the extra calories.
Very interesting. The word for strawberry is similar to German.
ReplyDeleteDutch has similarities to German, French, English, and Olde Englishe.
DeleteI had a pen pal in Holland, but haven't heard from her in quite a while...Her English (in her letters) was a little hard to understand.
ReplyDeleteWow, order this three times fast: Zongedroogde Tomaten-Pesto
ReplyDeleteBy the time you do, the tomatoes will go beyond sun-dried to rotten. :-)
DeleteI like the word for helicopter:
"hefschroefvliegtuig." (turning, screwing, flying train)
Well, it's also "helicopteur" but that's not as much fun.
