See, I know almost nothing about the Dutch cuisine. I heard you deep fry almost everything, and I like stroopwafels a lot.

In 10th grade I spent 2 weeks in the Netherlands on a school trip, but I remember absolutely nothing about the food which is actually sort of odd.

If I had to guess, I'd assume you eat classic farmers food, carb heavy with some sort of meat and dairy. But maybe that's just because I assume everyone north of the Rhine to eat that.

The only major colonial empire which did not, in any way, import food from the colonies?

I'm from Denmark, we traditionally ate porridge and potatoes and pork, and of course rye bread so dense you can club someone to death with it if you want to.

The capability for language is obviously inherent and no one has disputed that for 70 years, the question is whether it's domain specific like the generativists claim or domain general like the functionalists claim.

This is a feature of the 5th Republic, and to be honest when you look at French politics from the outside I dont blame de Gaulle for creating it this way, your parliamentarians cannot compromise for shit.
