 With the French stroke Camembert and French bread.(Header again the Waterlooplein flea market)

 This morning for breakfast a sandwich with love. One for Signs, Signs here.

Starting the day.

I just eat this 15 minutes ago. The white slices on bread is very young cheese in dutch called "meikaas" . In early days only to get in the month May when the cows were in the field again made with milk from the new grass in spring. Nowadays the whole year round.

Quiet moment on the "Eiland gracht" in Amsterdam. In the background the garbage burner of Amsterdam is making its clouds.

When I saw this laying on my plate this morning I wondered if I could catch the colors as laying out for me. What do you think.

The orange cheese is a dutch edammer colored with carrot juice and called commission cheese.

These was done by the cheese factory to show that this cheese was tax free and only for the farmers who delivered the milk for the cheese. It was a kind of payment in nature for them. I don't know of it is practiced  today but some of my colleagues knew it from their years as children on the farm. Now you can buy it in specialized cheese shops.
