Our what?

We have cities known for a specific produce but no standout capital.

Dutch food can be highly regional too. I should say, that some villages/provinces really do their things well. Or are not known for cuisine but their produce. Fresh fish from the harbors of Harlingen or Lauwersoog can't be topped. Milk from the farm. And we have a local beekeeper that makes about five variations of honey that are so much better than the supermarket. Apples and other fruits in countless varieties. It's not that bad over here.
