I've done some searching, and the official languages in the Netherlands are Dutch and Frisian (dialects like Limburgs and Brabants excluded).

Dont forget Saksisch was recently recognized officially as a language, deserving of the protection of European guidelines on minority languages!

'Hagelslag' should be translated as (I did a search on this) chocolate confetti.

My American ex always called 'em chocolate sprinkles ...

She even sent some home as a present, no - it was the fruity hagelslag she sent home! Plus "gestampte muisjes" (for the non-Dutch here, thats smashed mice) - they loved it, she had to send more!

See, more evidence of the superiority of Dutch culture.

Really? I didn't know that. Saksisch, as in: spoken in Drenthe, Groningen, etc.?

We just knock 'em down and fry them. Is that such a weird thing to do?

We generally stretch our killer pythons and bite their heads off. Some, however, choose to start at the tail and work their way up. Others just take a nice big chomp out of the middle.

Sugar is not the first word I think of when hearing 'python', but you're Aussie, so I believe you.

I should point out that the pythons that I'm referring to are brightly coloured foot long confectionary. Chances of survival are therefor only slightly better than a bite from an Inland Taipan (the most deadly snake in the world and a native of good old Oz).

Oh right, silly me. I've heard about that Taipan fellow. Glad I live in a country where we have like one snake species, which feeds on little rodents.

Funny thing about that Taipan is that it lives inland, and in Australia inland means desert. It only eats tiny rodents too! Very Happy

Stupid snake. Deathliest snake in the world, and he feeds on ... rodents. Can someone tell that snake that dingo's could also be on his menu?

Well, I'd try but I don't think he'd listen. More likely he'd start thinking I looked pretty tasty.
