Best hot chocolate...

Gotta say Rookies makes a great hot chocolate!

OK, I think I figured out how to post pictures. Thought I knew how before but wasn't working tonight. Anyway, Rookies was my first stop and I wasn't there 5 minutes before this guy hit the floor like a ton of bricks. Needless to say I took it pretty easy after that!

Honestly I don't remember! I think it was either NL or their "house" bud, which is called Rookies.

I do remember my first purchase in the Dam though. It was at Rookies at about 6PM on March 23rd: 2.31gr Rookies for 20,25 euros - one big bud!

Dampkring, Hot milk and a lump of chocolate on a stick oh cream is optional.

Speaking of whipped cream...is it just me or is the whipped cream in Amsterdam really, really thick compared to the stuff we have here in the States? I remember being practically able to eat it with a fork!

No, ur right -- I noticed it too. Couldn't believe how thick and creamy Dutch butter was when spreading toast. U could also cut the slagroom with a knife. Makes US dairy seem watered down in comparison.

It can get fatter?

Seriously though, I wonder what the difference is. Is it just more fat?
