[R&F] Rise and Fall General Discussion Thread

I wonder what horrible food she will send with her delegates.

Maatjes Haring, which means basicly: Cut Raw Herring.

Just keep it away from me. Please. It smells badly and tastes no better.

 

[Remmert]

Probably hagelslag, frikandellen, bitterballen or oliebollen.

Don't forget the stroopwafels

Is that why the Kampung gets food-based tourism? Dutch foodies?

 

[Kimiimaro]

Nothing could be worse than the fabled unspecified delegation.

By that you mean Khmer, Nubia, Indonesia, ot someone else?

Btw. Why I have the feeling that if Sweden gets added, Surströmming will be their delegation gift?

It's gonna be Ikea meatballs. No doubt.

They mean the Leaders who don't give anything with their delegation, like Frederick Barbarossa, Victoria and Pedro II.

I'm expecting that Wilhelmina's trade delegation would offer tulips and/or wooden clogs.

If she gives you those delightful gingerbread cookies shaped like windmills, she will be my honorary Civ VI grandma.

That would be delicious.

Well, if you like beer, then the leader of Bohemia could send you some. Czechs are proud of their beer, and the Czech Republic is actually the biggest beer consumer in the world

P.S. I'd love to see Wilhelmina sending cookies as a gift!

P.P.S. I also wonder what could the Dutch delegation gift be. We can learn what it is after fifty-nine days!

 

[Vahnstad]

Gouda cheese. Or Heineken beer? Or Amstel Beer.

 

[pgm123]

Sounds like it may be one of those ad hoc conventions used by certain fields (or authors) to avoid confusion in a particular text, since again the Yucatec Maya language contradicts that convention. NB Mesoamerican languages and studies aren't my specialty, despite a certain interest in Yucatec Maya specifically; I'm just speculating here.

Sorry for not being clear. The convention is that the people are always "Maya" and it is always "Mayan languages," but I think specific languages are Maya. I'm not sure though and I'm sorry for going way off track. Though, if they include the Maya, I would like them called "Maya" and not "Mayan." I already have a mod downloaded that renames Sumeria to Sumer. (h/t sukritact)

Aren't speculoos Dutch? I love those.

Yes. Please give that Heineken away. That way we don't have to drink it.

(this is basically the general Dutch attitude to Heineken by the way)

 

[Vahnstad]

tbh i have never drunk it either, but i live in Belgium. We have our own beers

 

[Lord Lakely]

Speculoos is Flemish.

Speculaas, which is less of a biscuit and more a gingerbread sort of thing is the Dutch variety.

I dont know if speculoos has a different meaning in Belgium. But i`ve put it on bread once. It comes out of a jar much like "pindakaas". I did not really enjoy it that much.
