Reminiscent of the coliseums of old this handsome and intricately stair-stepped serving piece will insure a lovely presentation. It’s been finely crafted in Vermont by the J. K. Adams Company from North American Cherry that has been grown with care. This beautiful tray is 1” deep and 12” square. Wash it with warm soapy water and dry promptly.*
We have been informed by staff Astro-squirrels that fruit is too perishable to store in the Cargo Hold and might attract insect pests—and anything with nuts is better than fruit anyways. So instead of a tray of funky bananas and grapes that are well on their way to becoming raisins, your beautiful cherry tray will come with 41 ½ ounces (326 grams) of Snickers® minis. Packed with peanuts, Snickers really satisfies.® Also contains milk chocolate, corn syrup, sugar, milkfat, skim milk partially hydrogenated soybean oil, lactose, salt, egg white, and possibly a bit of almonds.**
* Do not soak, or put it in the dishwasher or the microwave. It is not designed to hold liquids. Cherry can be sensitive to direct sunlight. Protecting the piece from strong ultraviolet rays will reduce the risk of a color change.
** Do not wash Snickers® with warm soapy water. Do not soak, or put it in the dishwasher or the microwave. Snickers® can be sensitive to direct sunlight. Protecting them from strong heat sources will reduce the risk of a messy meltdown.

Hermitage Amsterdam is a branch museum of the Hermitage Museum of Saint Petersburg in Russia. Interestingly, I had not planned to visit this museum at all, and it's not on my original itinerary.
However, on the first day in Amsterdam, I came across posters near my hotel about the "Dining with the Tsars" exhibition at Hermitage Amsterdam, a special exhibition of the imperial tableware that belonged to the Russian Tsars. I thought about it for a few days, and decided that since I'm unlikely to visit Russia any time soon, this is a very rare chance for me to see the fine porcelain ware of the Russian Imperial family. So here I was!
