Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. A Day in the Life.

By Karin Engelbrecht, About.com Guide

The Dutch dine early, with many families eating as early as 5 or 6pm. The meal often consists of meat and two vegetables, or a stamppot (vegetable mash, consisting of one or more kinds of vegetables, and served with a gravy, rookworst, a smoked sausage, or another meat). Stews and hearty legume-based soups that are a meal in themselves are very popular too, e.g. brown bean soup, pea soup and lentil soup. Dinner is often followed by a dessert of fruit, cold custard or yoghurt and a cup of coffee.
