Description:
The Undutchables Life in Holland'I fuck dogs,' a Dutch dog breeder once said. The Undutchables is about this kind of (and worse) misunderstanding between the Dutch and foreigners. Because despite their long stay among our dear clog people, the authors, an English and an American half-immigrant, are still not over their amazement. They subjected the Netherlands and the Dutch to an objective and witty analysis, a tough course in Self-knowledge, of which more than 175,000 copies have now been sold.18From the press:'A cheerful laughing mirror.' de Volkskrant 'Nothing is more interesting than seeing yourself through the eyes of an interested outsider.' Het Parool Fragment 'Wherever you eat, when the food is on the table, there are fixed rules.– Before you start, wish your company a pleasant meal, with your choice of: 'Enjoy your meal', 'Enjoy your meal' or 'Eat them'.– Apply the cutlery diction that applies to the meal in question:All meals: Toss, mash and play with your food a lot and pull a face as if you are in a trance. In between these bouts of meditative messing around, chat continuously with your table companions. When you have finished the main course, first scrape your plate completely clean with a lot of cutlery clatter, after which you clean your cutlery with a long lick. Knives can be lowered into the throat in a sword-swallowing manner to remove the last stubborn remnants of food.'
