Dutch fast food is great - try the croquette - it's a deep fried ragout, that you spread on bread. Fries and mayo of course. There is a place in SE Calgary where you can get all that stuff - Dutch Cash And Carry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croquette
A deep fried meat ragout covered in breadcrumbs. Its success as a fast food garnered its reputation as a cheap dish of dubious quality, to such an extent that Dutch urban myths relate its allegedly mysterious content to offal and butchering waste. The "kroket" is even so popular that it is sold at McDonalds.
My relatives in Amsterdam are mostly annoyed/embarrased by the red light district and weed cafes.
The pubs with the rainbow flags are fabulous!
