And now for something completely different:

I'd like to personally thank the Dutch for putting this wonderful cookie out into the world.

For those not familiar, a stroopwafel (literally Dutch for "syrup waffle")
are two cookie sized waffles stuck together with a caramel filling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroopwafel

When you pour yourself a cup of tea or coffee you can place the stroopwafel
on top of your much which heats the syrup inside making the cookie warm & gooey.

We have a brand here in Canada called Double Dutch which I quite enjoy as it has the perfect amount of cinnamon in it:

If you've never tried one, I'd highly recommend seeing if your local grocery store carries them. At 150 calories per stroopwafel (which is just fun to say), they're not the best for you but certainly a delicious treat.

You're welcome :)

We're very fortunate that nearly every Dutch supermarket carries
stroopwafels, though the 'real' stroopwafels are still made in the city of Gouda by hand by some of the bakeries.

Lucky me, because I work in the city of Gouda ;)

Gouda is a very old city and not only famous for it's stroopwafels. There's also the Gouda cheese, the canals (like Amsterdam) and a very old city hall.

Even though I worked in Gouda for some years I'd never visited the actual
city. The company I work for is on the outside of Gouda (near the highway) so it took me 3 years of working in Gouda to actually do a Gouda city trip and learn about all this stuff :).

I'm used to the stroopwafels from 'Berg' bakery, according to all my
colleagues the best from Gouda :).
