Now eating normal Dutch food is almost not done, like you have to eat foreign stuff every day to be normal.

Also, potatoes have been in Europe for quite a long time, so favouring those is no indication of an Indian life, can simply be European.

One thing that sure did make me think when it comes to food... I HATE Italian herbs. I don't like the smell, don't like the taste. Thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, YUK!! Maybe I was taken by Romans and forced to eat their food with their herbs, hihi.
I do like pizza and pasta occasionally, not too often, but not if there's too much of any of these herbs on them. Makes me feel sick.

In general I'm a typical Dutch-food eater.
