What Brood is
Soft wholemeal sandwich loaf, the base of the Dutch lunch.
Brood is listed as a bakery item in the Netherlands guide, where the index tags it vegetarian and mild. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.
Where to find Brood
Brood is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Netherlands. Look for a shop with a short list of items and a steady stream of local customers.
The Netherlands guide also covers 5 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.
