G'day Doug,
If there are any Dutch speakers here, or connoisseurs of Dutch
culture, could you explain what an Eetcafe is? I assume it's a cafe
you can eat in, but you never know.
Yeah, you have to make distinctions between your cafes in Amsterdam. Eet is
eat, and some cafes do sell food. If

Never saw the word "rookcafe" in my week in A'dam - they were all
"coffee shops" or "coffeeshops,"
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
The proof of the coffee is in the drinking.
The proof of the cigar and related stuff is in the smoking.
The anti-proof of facts is in empiriocriticism. (oops)
The proof of theory is in relating it to its underlying social process.
The proof of Amsterdam

Coffee shops, please. The Dutch are very precise in their
classifications. Completely different bill of fare from, say, a smart
shop or a cafe.
Unlike the US coffee houses, you can do *more* interesting things in Dutch
coffee houses other than eating. Not only the ambiance is different, but
also the cafe mentality of Europeans is very different from Americans.
You don't eat, you engage!

Hear hear, re FM Scherer.
I think I should remark regarding all comments
that Joe Bain was a boring alcoholic, blah blah (yes,
I heard the tales of his love of the bottle too), that
