Amsterdam Vacation

[eileenbunny]

Awesome.

Other than the leafy stuff, ew.

Those stairs must have been fun drunk

Also, I think it's wrong to charge that much for a brewery tour, yikes!

Well, I like the leafy stuff, you like the liquid stuff. We all have our own preferences. I wish it had been a brewery tour, then I wouldn't feel quite so ripped off.

Do they really put mayonnaise on french fries there?

Yes, they really do, and it's not like mayo here, it's really delicious homemade mayo.

Were they "french fries" or pomme frites? Rosemary-seasoned pomme frites done Belgium style =

AFAIK these were Belgian style fries, but I didn't taste any Rosemary. If I had I would have been grossed out. They were very good though. And isn't pomme frites just french for fried potato or potato or potato chip? These were more like a really delicious boardwalk french fry except not so mushy.

isn't dan like 6'5"? that counts as unusually large

Dan is about 6'3". I don't think that's outrageous.

It's true. In fact, there was a list of around forty different sauces that you could have unceremoniously squirted onto your fries.

Did you try them all at once?

I really really want to go back just to eat more of this stuff. I'm going to have to figure out how to make it all and have some sort of a fried potato party.

Our shriveled American palates would never sustain such an onslaught. I considered trying one, but I was high as fuck, and the fry monger was very impatient.

Fried potato party

I like tartar sauce on fries but not run of the mill mayo, but the unprocessed stuff may be good

nothing worse than a crabby fry monger

You need a portable hand-crank blender my friend.

Fry+sauce shake = faster consumption.

The sails all look like used handkerchiefs.

That's how you get that authentic looking patina.

how big is the boat? nothing to determine scale by

 

[Duke]

I'm gonna go with the spacing of the floorboards it's gotta be at least 4 feet.

 

[Kevlar]

EB, thank you for sharing your awesome trip. So glad that had a good time

 

[Sarcasmo]

This is how I picture Liam, flitting about crapping on people's heads.

This is the only picture I could find that might reference scale at all. It's pretty big. I believe my head comes up to just above the deck.
