I was literally shocked at how good German cuisine was. The great things done with just pork were unbelievably delicious. Then when I visited Holland years later, I was also shocked at how much I liked the cuisine. It's not like I hadn't experienced superior cuisine, since I had lived in New Orleans a few years. I guess some things are funny, like putting pancakes on your head. Overall, though, food in Holland is no laughing matter. I leaned toward the traditional dishes, probably none of which I can spell or pronounce. But my favorite food from Holland has to be kibbeling with stroopwafels in at a close second place. Despite liking fish a lot, I have to admit, though, I never developed much of a liking for raw herring.
