Eight-year-old Minnie spent her first three days in Holland staging a dramatic, tears-and-all hunger strike against what she called "weird Dutch cheese" and "suspiciously flat pancakes," fully convinced her parents had dragged her across the ocean just to starve her. Her culinary protest came to a screeching halt in the middle of a windy Amsterdam market when her mother bribed her with a handful of mysterious, dark blue berries. Minnie popped a couple of the whortleberries into her mouth, bracing herself for ultimate betrayal, but instead gasped as a burst of sweet, tart perfection exploded across her tongue. She discovered her favorite EVER breakfast – whortleberry jam on scones.
