Typical Amsterdam street food includes swarma, a pita-based dish often served with white garlic sauce and milk, with Ben Cohen's on the Rosengracht cited as a notable location. For a more formal dining experience, Indonesian-inspired "Rijsttafel" (rice table) is a staple of Dutch cuisine resulting from colonial history. Traditional Dutch fare is otherwise characterized by simple combinations of meat, potatoes, and vegetables like cauliflower.
