I don't think I even tasted anything else other than Eileen's hazenpeper (hare stew), which was...pleasant but a little dry for stew. More sauce, boss!MEMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951938457500869000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11950278.post-1163103457571980562006-11-09T21:17:00.000+01:002006-11-09T21:17:00.000+01:00Mmm, yes, you're right, I just cut-and-pasted from...Mmm, yes, you're right, I just cut-and-pasted from their English menu without re-translating anything. And frankly I totally forgot about the twig (must've been my cold medicine). <BR/><BR/>And I didn't even mention that most of the people at our table actually broke off pieces of this twig and chewed on it, saying "I think it's just a twig," then: "No, it's really zoethout", then "No, it's just a twig, they're all laughing at us," etc. <BR/><BR/>But it was zoethout and it doesn't really taste much like liquorice, it was...refreshing. <BR/><BR/>As for Van Beeren, well...it's probably really nothing special, it's a gezellig bar with better than average food. But I did really enjoy my last (and only) meal there, it was comforting in the way I needed it to be and it had quite a bit in common with Greetje's focus on game.<BR/><BR/>Do holler if you go tho!MEMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951938457500869000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11950278.post-1163099744306315382006-11-09T20:15:00.000+01:002006-11-09T20:15:00.000+01:00I agree with everything you said.

One thing though.. your creme brulee was flavored with zoethout, sweet wood.. and yes, the English word for zoethout is liquorice, but still it's not the same as the liquorice that flavored your icecream.. confusing huh?<BR/><BR/>Now I want to try Van Beeren. For comparison!Klary Koopmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363416564575801503noreply@blogger.com
