@prdan @futurebird Walking in the woods in New England you'll often come across low stone walls. They are reminders of the not-obvious fact that less than 200 years ago the region was heavily deforested for farming. 100,000 years? I think a casual observer wouldn't notice much.

Nowadays it's close to 75% forested. For anyone familiar with the area, imagine it with only 1/3 of the trees currently. That's how much has changed in the last 170 years.

I lived in NL for half a decade, but I’m not Dutch, so these will be from an outsider’s palate. These will be general foods/dishes/products, not specific recommendations for particular restaurants.

This random comment has given me my new favourite argument for removing fares from public transit.
