Shawnee, you'd definitely find food in Amsterdam that you could eat.
I like pretty much all food, so I shopped around - price was my main motivator - but trust me there were things you would not find "foreign".  McD's and BK at the very least.  You'd also go for Bagels and Beans (the beans being coffee) and Barney's (to follow).
I even had a kebab.  Yumski scrumski.  No photo though, as I was a little ashamed of myself 

  But the shop was in the alley next to the hotel!  I walked past it a couple of times a day!
I didn't go to either of the big museums.  Not the Van Gogh - I'm just not a fan - or the Rijksmuseum.  The Rijksmuseum is still under wraps and only showing a small selection of items.  I was tempted, but in the end walking the streets proved more of a draw.  I don't regret it, as I already intend to go back there anyway.
Bruce - I so fell in love with those vases.  Given my druthers I'd have bought a Delft one, or at least a Delft style one.  But I know Mum's opinion of "going too far" and "flaboyance"!  Need to buy the gift to suit the giftee.  Away from the more avant garde ones it's beautiful in its own right.
