Cuisine
Traditionally, Dutch cuisine is simple and straightforward, with many vegetables and little meat; breakfast and lunch are typically bread with toppings while dinner is meat and potatoes, supplemented with seasonal vegetables. The Dutch diet was relatively high in carbohydrates and fat, reflecting the dietary need of the laborers whose culture molded the country, and contains many dairy products. Without many refinements, it is best described as rustic, though many holidays are still celebrated with special foods. In the course of the twentieth century this diet changed and became much more cosmopolitan, with most international cuisines being represented in the major cities.

Typical about dutch women
• Goodlooking Dutch females are rather easier then the western europe average. They do not find it necessary to spend a lot of money on their appearances and weekly manicures are almost unheard of among these women. In other words, they do not spend hours piling on make up and dressing themselves up like other feminine cultures.
• All the dutch women do not mind to go in short pants in public. Even some dutch females go very extreme in their dressing codes, but the end result is really stunning, wow dutch women are trully hot! Ofcourse most of these women are slimm and tall and are between 20 and 35 years of age.
• Most of all dutch women are skilled and high educated and therefor pretty independent. Even in sports and carreer women can compare with men easily. Most dutchies speak good english and embrace a good carreer instead of feeding the children from home.. They do not care to be traditional and marry at a later age. Cohabitation is popular and so is bearing children before marriage. These women do have manners however it is said that they have no issues with throwing them out the window in order to be like one of the guys. Dutch women absolutey think they are equal with dutch man, and all dutch think this should be the way to live in the entire world.
