Holland. It's just not customary to eat bread and drink water when you go to the restaurant, so if you want them you won't have them for free (well, in fact it depends on the restaurant, since most restaurants in Holland are restaurants of foeign food, maybe they adopt the customs of the foreign country they stand for).
