Dutch 'food'...

C: Okay, that's misleading, we had some amazing food in the Netherlands. We also had some truly scary foodstuffs.
Take the Kapsalon. Kap Salon means Hair Salon in Dutch. The folk myth goes that one day a guy who worked at the local Hairdressers walked into a Doner shop and ordered a pile of doner meat on chips, drenched in various condiments with miscellaneous salad on top:

What am I talking about? They're actually amazing. And the dual meaning leads to much hilarity:

Yes, that's a Jazz Centre in The Hague next to a place offering a Kapsalon Massage. But closer to home, we were recommended a fine dining establishment called Billy Bear's. It may as well have been called Dodgy Shit:

Featuring terrible food, millions of stuffed bears and Jake Gyenhall from Brokeback Mountain:

etc.etc. Although we should have taken the glowing, demonic bear logo as a sign.
