We are going to visit the Rijksmuseum and seeing the best 30-40 culinary paintings (depending on what is available) within 90 minutes.

Afterwards we walk to the traditional Cafe Welling and enjoy there the Amsterdam ox sausage, artisanal Gouda cheese and mustard and pickles, the so-called Amsterdam Table Sour with the Amsterdam yellow cucumbers and onions. It is said that Van Gogh got his inspiration for his Yellow Sun Flowers when he ate the bright yellow Amsterdam cucumber. We end with traditional eau de vie distillery made by Lubberhuizen, the owner of the brown cafe. One of these is made of cherry plums, also included in the Ark of Taste. On a painting of Van Ruysdael one can see a boat with 2 white-headed cows. These Blaarkop (Blisterhead) cattle (also included in the Ark of Taste) was once the motor behind the Dutch Golden Age. First they made the buttermilk with which sheets were bleached on the meadows, later on from them the milk butter and Leyden artisanal cheese with cumin was produced because it could be held longer on the VOC (Dutch East India Company) ships to the far east. When this cattle became old they were fed with the left over of the Schiedam gin (jenever) industry and masted. Other things to note We will meet below the bicycle passage under the Rijksmuseum.
