In 2008 (some) journalists / photographers were told to wait outside till the Pea Soup had been served. Explanation: the organizers feared the journalists / photographers would sneak to the tables and illegally eat the honoured guests’ Pea Soup. Well yes, we all know you have to keep the scum outside. 2009 I went to my favourite snackbar in Haarlem and ordered French Fries with Peanut Sauce and Frikandel.
