What we call deviled eggs have dijon mustard and cayenne pepper on them.

Here's a better picture:


Deviled, prosciutto and apple, and mayo and shrimp. If you're supposed to eat like 5 eggs a day, you definitely want some variation.

You guys also have these?

Yes but not with the European look.

Ours are milk chocolate.

Easter eggs. Other than that it's a normal day. If I wanted to remember a fictional zombie I'd watch 28 days later.

I hosted a big brunch for my friends. I baked an enormous loaf of easter bread, we dyed hard boiled eggs naturally and smashed them together to see which egg would "win" and when yours lost you could eat it, there was lentil salad and cheese, and we got drunk on mimosas. Then, we ate chocolate eggs and date squares and lounged around on the floor of my living room all afternoon reading or chatting or playing instruments.

Sure:





The mass-produced are of really poor quality chocolate, but artisan shops do very good ones. They are hideously expensive though: 74% Dairy free Organic Dark chocolate Easter bunny 160g | Dammenberg Chocolate Shop

Kids like to paint and decorate eggs, so if you're 2 adults and 2 children, and maybe a friend or two, and everyone wants to paint five (or 10), you'll quickly end up with a large amount of eggs which you can't just throw away. Painting of eggs was mostly popular in Germany, Poland and Russia, so I don't know if it's really a big thing in Netherlands or England. Probably not.

That is expensive!

Same here, all pretty bad, mass produced chocolate. For the really good chocolate we have to go to Limburg or Belgium. There is one "Belgian chocolate" shop in Amsterdam though, but the prices are crazy
