Nothing. At least not the last time I went to Amsterdam, which was twenty years ago. Every other Dutch town, city, village, hamlet, has an Eetcafe where you can get traditional Dutch dinners, which are actually rather similar to what is traditionally eaten in adjacent parts of England, Germany,
etc. But not Amsterdam. It is too cosmopolitan for that. It is easy enough however to get a train out of the city to somewhere like Haarlem (about 20 miles away, and well worth a visit) and find at Eetcafe. You can get a decent dinner for about €15, which is under $20. Or less.
This should probably be in the Meaningless ... section.
Yes, but I shall leave it here until somebody else moves it.
