"They were also worst for their behaviour, learning the language and enthusiasm to try local delicacies."

that reminds me of when I was in Amsterdam, and there was a bunch of young Brits hanging around one of those stalls that sell raw herring. They were all yelling "ew man, that's gross!!! can you believe..", and there were some older dutch men there shaking their head and laughing at them. I walked right up to the stall and ordered a raw herring, all the dutch men were standing around me almost in disbelief--i took a bite, and they gave me a nice round of applause!!

I love the dutch (AND the brits!)
