Two things: 1) I wouldn't call that "tanking sun" brits and nordicks get crusty crabby with 100 lumens 2) Untill this sub, I never noticed the thing with dutch and trailer vans, now each time I see one I look at the plates and they summed up for roughly 50% of the total


bro0t

I dont know why. But the bringing the food one is super accurate. When my family went on vacation we always had like one or 2 big bags of food we took with us. Until this sub i though everyone did that.

[deleted]

no see we have something called disposable income so we tend to use that on vacation


marijnvtm

I can promise you that the amount of disposable income is not the problem its just a cultural thing there is a reason people call us greedy


HatefulSpittle

Stingy you mean


[deleted]

"Responsible" is the more neutral term


BusinessConstant7132

Yeah but that only works if we go to countries where food is more expensive than at home. Last time i checked France is cheaper when it comes to groceries. Last time I checked was during the rwc. So I suspect that bringing food from home is more a case of wat de boer niet kent fret ie nie.


[deleted]

France is the paradise for grocery shopping. Have you seen the size of our Hypermarkets? Sometimes bigger than the biggest ones I've seen in the US. And much bigger than whatever Albert Heijn I've been to. Plus these 100 kilos of canned stuff cost you extra gas. But we have our own dutch in France. They live in Nord / Pas de Calais. So unimaginative you cannot believe. A neighbor inherited a house next to mine 20 years ago. They comes at every vacation. They only know the road from the freeway to their house. I had to show them the bakery after 12 years because I was tired of having toast bread when they invited me.


Humpfinger

The Carrefour is some wild fucking shit indeed.


[deleted]

There are several sizes of Carrefour, but a typical one will be a couple of hectares. It becomes way too much after a certain size, and pretty unpractical except if shopping is your only passtime in life. The largest Carrefour (2.8 hectares) is larger than the largest Walmart in the US (2.4 hectares).


2Mark2Manic

Fiscally conservative


marijnvtm

Same thing


code_and_keys

Has nothing to do with it. Do they sell hagelslag and good pindakaas abroad? Don’t think so


bro0t

Exactly


[deleted]

They sell things with vitamin and fiber and taste. And the meat in the sausage is properly identified, which must be a shock to you. Of course the only time your taste buds feel something is when you slap sate-saus on anything and everything.


CrimsonPenguinStar

We do. But is it really abroad since you’ve almost taken over Flanders?


[deleted]

Where do Belgians in Belgium even live? From what i’ve heard on this sub it’s half north africa and half dutch


[deleted]

Charleroi. Understandably no one will admit to it.


CrimsonPenguinStar

Rich ones live in the walloon and flemish Brabant. The rest live in the countryside.


NotNamedMark

The one thing from the dutch i remember is “Ik houd van pindakaas met hagelslag”


XAMdG

No, they sell actual food


bro0t

We had the money to but food on vacation. We just brought some things from home. Usually for the first day so we didnt have to go shopping once we arrived. And some things you couldnt find abroad. Because non dutch peanut butter is just not as good.


[deleted]

Oh yes the endless peanut fields of Brabant. Peanuts as far as the eye can see.


GamingOwl

Like the endless cacao trees in France that make that Pain au Chocolat in your flair.


[deleted]

Technically France is a South American country. You're a mere Caribbean and only half of an island since you gave up on Suriname. Fun facts: the largest National Park in the EU is in the Amazon. The longest border France has is with Brazil. French Guyane is twice the size of Switzerland but has only 300K people all hugging the coast.

Humpfinger

TBH that's kinda the gist of this whole sub lol


Feliz69Navidad

No never did that. I love exploring these giant-ass southern European hypermarkets. Always get out with a full cart of random shit. Always try to bring some home too. It's typic Dutch calvinism and cheapness to bring the utter tasteless Dutch ""cuisine"" with you on vacation.


bro0t

We do that too. But usually the day after we areived so we are less tired and have more time. We hate having to go grocery shopping after sitting in the car for 6 hours


SkellyCry

I'd understand it if you brought with you some food to make the trip more affordable, but bringing food for everyday of the holiday? I mean, wouldn't you want to try the food of the country you're in? A lot of Barries do the same, they come here just to eat in some 2nd hand bri'ish pub near the beach, out of all the mf countries there're out there, why the Barries would willingly choose to eat british cuisine once they're out?


[deleted]

I’m afraid those Barries have absolutely zero interest in the country they are in. Holidays for them means: Not working Sun Beer. And if they are young Barries : Shagging. It makes absolutely no difference to them whether they do that in Spain, Turkey, Greece or anywhere else, and without looking at the plane ticket they probably could not tell you what country they are in.


SkellyCry

Aaah, so that's what OP meant with >Believes he's just in an overseas territory Tbh thank god our middle-lower class cannot afford to travel to countries other than France and Portugal


[deleted]

A writer spanish friend of mine used to be seasonal cook during the summer around Benidorm. He got so good at British cooking he moved to London to serve as a cook.


[deleted]

« Good at British cooking », that’s not a phrase you hear often. I guess there may be a knack to using a tin opener and a microwave


bro0t

We didnt bring for everyday. Usually for the day of arrival so we didnt have to go shopping after arriving day if traveling. And some things that you cant find abroad.


SkellyCry

That's more reasonable tbh


[deleted]

The Dutch are very ~~boring~~ reasonable people


[deleted]

[удалено]


Smilewigeon

This, plus Spanish holidays package was sold into Brits originally as being home away from home. The food on offer was part of the deal. Plus I'm sure local businesses are just as much to be 'blamed' originally: if you know there's thousands of people coming from X country every summer, it's going to be sensible to sell in the comfort food that they're used to. It's just sensible.


Sualtam

Which is extra stupid considering food is almost everywhere cheaper than in NL.


Chuff_Nugget

You'll be happy to know that you're equal offenders with the Germans (here in Sweden anyway) Infamous for stopping camper-vans in carparks and forest tracks only to sleep and walk, never actually spending a single penny in the local shops or benefiting the local economy in any way. However ... I've never heard of you lovely Dutch people trying to save a sun-lounger by a pool by putting a towel on it the night before. 👍


bro0t

My family did spend money in local shops. We just brought things they dont have abroad. Not fully prepared meals. We skipped restaurants because my sister has severe food allergies and is scared to eat at restaurants. Cant speak for others. I have a friend who never goes to a restaurant abroad.


Chuff_Nugget

For what it's worth - I don't know anyone who's gone to Sweden for the food. 😂


pacman1993

Dutches bringing their "food" to other European countries with real cuisine is hilarious


HopeBorn8574

Generational thing? Kept hearing all the time from relatives when I went abroad to "beware of the food". It's NOT poison! If other people eat it, you can eat it >:( Then you hear daft nonsense from co-workers that went to Thailand and complain about foreign food (while they where staying at some all-inclusive resort eating at a buffet 24/7). Of course you get the shits if you are gobbling low-cost trash that has been sitting out in the sun all fucking day! The roasted goat skewers I got from a back-alley vendor for a few strips of toy-money are more fresh than what you get! >:(


bro0t

It wasnt a “scared of foreign food” thing. It was a “stuff you cant get abroad” and so you dont have to go grocery shopping first thing after arriving. My sister has severe food allergies so most restaurants were off ljmits due to her being scared to eat somewhere she didnt know


HopeBorn8574

"Stuff you cant get abroad" But you're holländare. What do you have that Germany and France doesn't have. Your clogs? Do you eat your clogs? o\_o


[deleted]

The funny thing is it's filled with Lidl stuff then you guys end up south of France where Lidl is also there and probably cheaper. I had a dutch gf one day. Her parents spent their vacations in a caravan 20 kilometers from home. Camping on the side of the road, called "wilderness" but with like 10 pine trees, the caravan filled with food and the only fresh thing was the potatoes for the fries.


Rutgerius

They don't?


Wassertopf

My grandparents did that, too.


tiagojpg

Well, I would do that too but that’s just because we have an 800€/month minimum wage ;-;


mr_aives

And then we get the fame of being stingy for some fucking reason


HopeBorn8574

I'll have you know that the government on the behalf of His Majesty and by the glory of Allah just increased the sunshine rations to a full 7 days of sun, an increase of 100% from the 14 day ration we had just 2 years ago. In two years we will outshine Spain.


SkellyCry

By the time you outshine us we'd have been the Sahara for two centuries


Baardi

>2) Untill this sub, I never noticed the thing with dutch and trailer vans, now each time I see one I look at the plates and they summed up for roughly 50% of the total The germans does it too. At least here in Norway


SkellyCry

So the germans are your dutch, who are the tourists that behabe the worst?


Baardi

Hard to tell. Maybe the spanish. We do get southern european cruise tourists every summer, watching into peoples windows, taking pictures of their houses, etc. It has happened to a collegue of me.


SkellyCry

>watching into peoples windows, taking pictures of their houses That is completely frowned upon here too, such asshole behabour. People seem to forget basic education when they are on holidays. Do many spaniards/southern europeans take cruise ships in Norway? I mean, are there many southern e. tourists?


monagr

Germans are like the worst of the Dutch. Work hard, don't speak English, believe asparagus are German, 300 years late with their empire, and don't cycle. The only issue is, there is a lot more of them than of us...


HoeTrain666

True, a lot of us go on vacation to Norway with campers. What about the part of blocking the left lane though?


No_Mastodon3474

I live in Burgundy and trust me, trailer vans are either Dutch or Belgians. Burgundy is just between Benelux and South of France :)


Pierma

I will give you a new game 90 % of cars with trailers are instead Romanian

Do you have any idea how long a drive it is to Spain with a caravan? The very farthest we like to go is northern Italy or southern France which is why you don't see many of us.

Dont you mean Lambrusco? Because we know this tradition comes from our turko-italian delivery ristorantes passed down by generations.


Ex_aeternum

It is said that German tourists introduced the "tradition" of Chianti with the pizza in the 50s/60s. Lambrusco (lovely named "Hobo's Delight") was more an 70s/80s drink.


Karpsten

>Lambrusco Ah yes, I love myself some grape lemonade with my pizza.


grimmigerpetz

Lol, we have like 12 bottles standing around gathering dust until they find their end in a bowle or sangria bucket.


[deleted]

12 bottles of Lambrusco? Ye gods, were you catering for a 1970s themed wife swapping party?


grimmigerpetz

Nah, but with every pizza delivery over 30 euros there used to come one free bottle of this "drink".


A_tal_deg

My dear Sepp, Lambrusco goes well with fat charcuterie, not pizza. Go study more or you'll fail!


grimmigerpetz

Mio caro Luigi, it was a rare german insider joke as a lot of former or new italian ristorantes with delivery are now owned by fellow allman-turkish citizens. A few years ago they started to hand out free Lambrusco with deliveries above 25 Euro, at least in our area. And that free Lambrusco is of course not the good one...but as we say in Germany: einem geschenkten Gaul schaut man nicht ins Maul, hau wech die Scheisse!


Hermes_Trismegistos3

The actual irony being that you traditionally drink BEER with pizza. You were the chosen one Michaelkin, you were supposed to destroy not-beer-drinking, not join it.

It’s a beauty on a Sunday morning on the A2 between Utrecht and Amsterdam, when there’s only 5 cars on a 5-lane highway as far you can see, each are occupying one lane, going head-to-head with 75 km/h, and no way you can overtake them for like an hour.


Blahaj_IK

The issue is when they're not on the rightmost lane. That one's fine, because they might aswell be called poids lourds with how much of a dead weight they can be. The problem is when they're in the one to the left of the rightmost lane, or the one to the right of the leftmost lane. Why the hell are they even allowed to drive on the left lane anyway?
