Broodje kaas?
A typical Dutch lunch might surprise you
In the Netherlands, many people bring their own lunch to work, often sandwiches packed from home. Some workplaces have a company cafeteria, but bringing your own lunch remains very common. One thing you’ll usually find at the office? A fresh pot of coffee.
