Stroopwafels

I will get you free stroopwafels whenever you visiting the Netherlands :smiley:

Never heard that before.
Wonder if it’s accurate.
I even think stroopwafels go back further in history than apple juice.

If you like stroopwafels you should try gevuld speculaas:

For some reason, this triggers my excessive sugar detector.

But they look so goood.

Ooooh !!!
Now THAT’s some really good stuff right there !
Yummy !

Oh wow Polarweis! These are so good!
Don’t eat too much, because they’re quite heavy

Those do look very good. I see they use almond paste, a favorite.

Well, apples were originally grown for cider, not to eat as a fruit, and apple juice predates the wide availability of sugar (and thus sugar syrup or caramel), which only happened towards the end of the 18th Century, before that it was a luxury (then again so was cinnamon).

Last time I visited the Netherlands, I "suffered" with terrible "munchies".

There are many reasons to travel to the Netherlands. Free stroopwafels is one. :laughing: May be time for another EU trip, we haven’t been there since the summer of 2010.

Other food I enjoy from there include… Krokets, Patats (with mayonnaise) and Bitterballen. Along with the bitterballen maybe a glass of Dubbel. :beer:

You found the right stuff Don, although I like triple better, or blond when I feel like a lighter beer.

To tease you a bit, I just came back from the pub, enjoyed bitterballen and a few IJndejaarsbier. Feels pretty good but the evening is not going to be very productive anymore. :innocent:

Stroopwafels are not expensive, so when any BLF member is nearby, i am more then happy on handing out stroopwafels or other Dutch treats :wink:

And Luftwafel means flying-waffle.

Ha!

Yeah, if I bought ’em, they wouldn’t even make it back to the car.

If we are talking dutch treats you cant miss out on Bossche bollen:

cream puffs filled with
whipped cream with a layer of chocolate.

that’s not what it looks like :open_mouth:

Don’t judge a book by its cover

They’re delicous

Dewds… I gained 10lbs just looking at these pix.

You guys are killing me!!! :person_facepalming: … I have always wanted to visit the Netherlands…. after seeing these pictures it is quickly becoming a top priority…… :slight_smile: … :+1:

Plus, there’s always Sharon den Adel.
