And today the Netherlands are one of the richest and most democratic countries in the world. Makes you think, doesn't it?

Eat the... prime ministers?

Haven't eaten their Prime Minister yet!

I'm fluent in Dutch and at no point in the supplied link is there any reference to eating anything.

Attempted murder, torture, court, death, body parts being sold, heart being cut out and displayed for years, yes .. eating, not so much.

The brothers were shot and then left to the mob. Their naked, mutilated bodies were strung up on the nearby public gibbet, while the Orangist mob ate their roasted livers in a cannibalistic frenzy.

There is actually a whole article on their murder, quite extensively detailing the days leading up to their death as the days that follow it (not in English though): https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moord_op_de_gebroeders_De_Witt

I think most of it was not eaten.

Ledematen en geslachtsdelen werden afgesneden, tongen en ingewanden uitgerukt, de lijken ondersteboven opgehangen aan een galg. De buit werd triomfantelijk getoond, opgegeten of verkocht

Just the tastiest bits

Some of it is still in a museum.

You might be tempted to look down on them, but at least they tried it before deciding prime minister doesn't taste good.

Wait till they try Wagyu Minister!

Greenlanders could be eating their prime minister right now... There's just no way to know!

I will never look at prime rib the same way.

Better or worse than getting the boot?

There's no prime minister in Germany, just a chancellor and a president. Well, on a federal level at least. Should be yellow.
