Dutch comfort & crudeness

By:  June 28, 2023 Categories: 

Two weeks in the Netherlands. We’re not that known for any 美食 (great food), and compared to Chinese food I’m sure it looks crude, but for me, it’s all real comfort food:

1. Real bread and real cheese 👌

2. Battered chunks of fish and tartar, and
3. My mom’s tomato soup

4. Fries with peanut sauce & mayo (the Dutch name means something like ‘Chaos fries’) and minced-meat sausage with curry & mayo — both with raw onions

5. Apple pie

6. Croquette deep-fried meat ragout with breadcrumbs and French mustard

7. Strawberry custard cake (but I guess this is French cuisine more than Dutch…), and
8. But IMO the best (and quintessential Dutch), potatoes, meatballs and vegetables

If George Orwell, one of the best essayists, were alive today, he’d be firmly against AI. Not because of 1984 or ‘Big Brother’, but because in ‘Why I Write’, he listed four motives for writing; Historical impulse Political purpose Aesthetic enthusiasm Egoism   Neither of these motives survives if you let AI do the writing […]

Secret Listening #6

Secret Listening #6

This series is called ‘Secret Listening’, from the Chinese word 偷听Tōutīng. I know this can be — and should probably be — translated as ‘eavesdropping’, but secret listening captures it better and adds a bit of jest. These little stories or remarks stood out to me, and show a more personal side of China away […]
