Group B - THE NETHERLANDS
What was it?
Toast, served with a variety of sweet nonsense: chocolate and hazelnut spread, honey, and hagelslag, a sprinkling of hundreds-and-thousands that you would normally apply to cake.

How was it?
Mixed results. The chocolate and hazelnut spread was wonderful, sweet and full-bodied. The honey had a different kind of sweetness, more sugary with a thicker texture. The hagelslag was horrible though. The tiny crunches jarred greatly with the toast, and the sweetness of these was muted. It was not pleasant, and I hope this type of nonsense isn’t too widespread in the Netherlands.

Overall thoughts:
Simple, but the single-minded pursuit of sweetness has led this particular place into a brutal place. The hagelslag is the type of thing I would imagine a 5-year-old pestering their parents about having for breakfast, thinking that it would be the most delicious thing ever. Guess what, kid? It ain’t.

If it was a Dutch footballer?
Pleasant and skilled on paper, but on pitch a brutal thug who doesn’t fit the team’s overall aesthetic: Nigel de Jong.
