Eat That Satekroket!
Many hours have passed and we're finally in Amsterdam. The first thing Jan spots after getting off the Thalys train is an automat of a sort that vends "kroket" - a deep fried pastry, more over a collection of deep fried treats. Kroket is pretty much like a croquette, only in a convenient shape and size for on-the-go knoshing.
One Euro and a paper sleeve later, we're munching on a satekroket which ends up being a log of highly spiced mashed potato in a deep fried casing. It's pretty good but kind of odd on the first bite.
Perusing the rows shows all kinds of krokets: sausage, cheese, meats, more potato...a vertiable smorgasbord of treat. We vow to buy more tomorow.
