Here are two food related things I noticed in the last few weeks. Check out these bag of Doritos on sale at the local Albert Heijn supermarket:
In the US this flavor is known as “Cool ranch”. Frito-Lay thought that “Cool American” would be a better name for this flavor in Europe because ranch isn’t that well-known in this country. I don’t understand how “American” helps explain the flavor any better, but okay. I did end up buying a bag last week (the first bag in years) just to remember what the flavor was like. It isn’t one of my favorite chips but it was good enough.
And in other news… it is October! Which means the oliebollen stand (Wikipedia) magically appears on 1 October.
Admittedly they weren’t open on that day but they did open shortly thereafter. You know it is that time of the year when this stand appears!
