The Dutch has so much potential to adapt and adopt spices and have a rich culture of different traditional dishes. but no.. stamppot is enough.

Did you all get a history lesson about the Dutch today? Yes, my ancestors did host a very successful hub for all kinds quite horrible acts, mostly because they noticed other countries did them worse business wise. Shame on all your ancestors too!

Why are all flags 3 stripes?

That's the old Dutch flag, orange white blue. It's now red white blue.

Oh interesting, I didn't know that about the Dutch flag. But yes, I'm curious about why it's true for most flags in general...

And yes, the Central African Republic flag would definitely beg to differ as well
