Who else eat Chocolate or (sugar even) on bread and eat liquorice sweets full of salt ... having Dutch family and living with the culture gets lots of frowns from South Africans here ...when you sit down and start sprinkling sugar on your bread (if the budget is tight and you cant afford the good stuff like choc-spreads and Hagel)... The Zoute-drop is always a cool trick here in South Africa ...people expect it to be sweet liquorice sweets ...its the best to watch their faces once they realize the salty taste ...then you look how long it takes them to spit it out. Well thanks to all the help thus far ... now I feel depressed all of a suden ...miss the vibe - Holland rocks.... 2009/3/7 Phpster <phpster@xxxxxxxxx> > If you're not Dutch you're not much!
