As I Xi It

The other day, I found a few boxes of stroopwafels which I brought the last time I went through Schipol (in 2009 when returning from Cape Town). They still looked fine, a nice golden brown, caramelly colour and seemed to smell fine too. There were no obvious signs of spoilage that I could see.

This morning I had one of these “vintage” stroopwafels with my coffee and I’ve got to say, it tasted as good if not better than some of the more recent variants! I wonder if perhaps they’re the dutch version of Twinkies.

Breakfast

No problems here

They’re my new favourite thing to eat with a mug of tea. First there were 10, now there are 4. They’re of dutch origin, a layer of caramel sandwiched between two layers of thin waffles. If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, these would be it!
