Hi there,

Is there anybody who can tell me how to reach those delicious waffles? I’m living in Turkey and when I was in Amsterdam I just bought some packs of waffles and brought them here. If someone knows how to reach the producer and demand some packs to be sent by international courier please feel free to write here or please e-mail me

Have a delicious day.

Just came here from Linday Beyerstein's Majikthise blog. I'm sure I'll be coming back often! I lived in the Netherlands on a couple of occasions as a kid, and I can vouch for the superiority of the fresh stroopwafeln from a stand. It never ceases to amaze me that a people who can invent the stroopwaffel, the above-mentioned pofferje, the uitsmijter, and Hopjes candies (in addition to perfecting the frite met saus) can choke down hard, salted licorice, which is the single vilest thing that passes for candy in the known world. I guess no one is perfect.

If they’d only use Tate & Lyles Golden Syrup in the middle, stroopwafeln’d be the perfect sweet snack.

Yes, stroop is the Dutch word for syrup and yes, they are meant to be eaten with coffee, preferably dipped into coffee to get the effect you reached accidentaly.

On Dutch markets you can often get fresh stroopwafels, still warm from baking or wafel crumbs with warm syrup, which we used to do on market day during lunch at high school hmmm…

The stroop used on pancakes is not quite the same as in the wafels btw, but usually either apple syrup (slightly sour tasting, an acquired taste) or plain sugar syrup (not so nice).

You can get them in some Starbucks in the UK I believe, or was it Pret A Manger? Luckily I have unlimited access to many varieties of stroopwafeln, living as I do in Amsterdam which is otherwise, apart from some wonderful markets, a bit of a food desert. Syrup is stroop, and can be bought in squeezy bottles for use on pannekoeken and poffertjes, which are tiny versions of the pancakes. I have recipes... Lekker blog, btw.

babelfish agrees– though it will only translate “syrup” from English to Dutch, for some reason it doesn’t know the word in reverse.

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroopwafel), it’s a “syrup waffle.”

The Wikipedia site gives exteral links, and, althoughI’m sure this is not what you want to hear, one of them is to a Martha Stewart recipe for them.
