Chocolate + bread = breakfast for loads of people in Belgium & other countries too obv. Cant believe I had to edit my first comment cause people were coming at me, its a freaking comment about food/breakfast what are u hating me for jesus
"That's all I need for dessert" In Belgium, Chocolate on bread is no dessert 😁 I eat chocolate on bread (with butter on it as well) as breakfast, sometimes lunch and if I don't find anything at night, dinner as well!
yes,bread,butter, and milkchocolate,preferably cote d'or....you dip the buttered bread into your coffee,put it in your mouth and then take a bite from the chocolate bar....it is 45 years that I eat this for breakfast,yes from when I was 3 years old,coffee included......
The difference between speculaas and speculoos cookies is that the Dutch version is made with a specific blend of spices, whereas speculoos gets its flavour by caramelizing sugar. This is because the Dutch could import a lot of spices from their colonies, but the Belgians couldn't. Those spices were way too expensive for them, so they created their own version with much less of them. Just something you might be interested in :)
chentaomon that's super interesting to me. i grew up on speculoos, and the first time i tried speculaas, it took me by surprise. i just ascribed it to subtle differences between countries, but now i know the history behind it 😊
Filbert Dick Cavanugh Huang Yeah, I think most of them did. We had a whole trading company going on focused mainly on that, and exploiting the local population for coffee later on. Lovely.
Thats true, but when you describe it like that it's hard to know what is what. You can see the difference in the fact that speculaas is thick an softer, while speculoos is thin and crunchy. At least that is what they thought me (I'm belgian myself so...)
I've been living in Belgium for 3 months now. It has been hard to keep the weight under control, best chocolate, best frittes 🍟, best waffles, beer , you name it. My favorite food mashed potatoes with sausage. ❤️ Belgium.
Emmy, is there anything that your viewers ever sent you to taste that is now a staple or a regular treat in your house? Something you couldn't get enough of that you had to get it for yourself?
yesss! i was kinda sad knowing the ones she had would probably be super dried out and hard when she actually got them with the time it takes to mail them.
Must say, I'm from Gent and afterwards moved close to the factory where they're produced. Yet still, never really had a lot of them. Once every five years at maximum 😅
I am a Chinese born in Belgium! So eating is in my genes and my upbringing! The treats you sent are exactly that: a BIT of the culture. And really just a BIT, Emmy. You really really HAVE to make your way to Belgium. In every province and city there are specialised treats and foods of that region. Even the carnavals (here they are called "kermis"or "foor", last one is pronounced "fohr" with the "oo" like the "oh" in "oh dear") have special "dishes"... I love love love the eating cultures!!
im so happy for you Emmy, you'll hit one million subscribers sometime soon & with the calm "well-read" reviews you give the "Emmy Army" you deserve it..as always...CHEERS
You're so close to 900k! YEY! So happy to see your channel grow Emmy and I'm proud to have been here for a very very long time now. This video is so amazing too! Hoping to visit Belgium someday! 😘
Hey Emmy, I want to suggest you try out a certain product. It's called The Shabang Potato Chips. The Shabang Potato Chips are "jail chips," meaning they're produced and sold exclusively for America's prisoners. Up until only recently, the chips are available to everyone due to the sincere cravings and constant demands for these chips. They are exclusively sold on the company's website, not in stores.
I often get that Lotus Crunchy style cookie butter at my local Walmart and just eat it with a spoon when I have a sweet tooth!!! Soo delicious and the texture is fabulous!!!!
Yes, they are one in the same. The airline that introduced them to me was Delta. This was many years ago and of course after tasting how good they are, it was my mission to try and find them somewhere so I could buy them. It's a lot easier to find them now, I've seen them in stores in my area.
Michelle D Thats what I thought too! We buy the spread sometimes....terribly addicting! My grown daughter is already addicted to Nutella. She just sits and spoons it up-and don't her catch you even LOOKING at that jar lol!😂
The airline is Delta...I always save the Biscoffs when I fly them. I know you can buy those at Price Chopper. When I was in Massachusetts I bought 5 packs of the large packs. Fantastic with coffee lol I know this is 3 years late lol.
Sad fact about both Belgian waffles: you need special, heavy, cast iron waffle irons to make them well. The Brussels one turns into a sad, hard pancake in a normal iron because the batter is so runny. The Liegeois one can theoretically be made in a normal if you get an iron that can close around the thick, yeasted dough and its sugar crystals, but you'll struggle to cook it all the way without burning the outside.
"Sad fact about both Belgian waffles: you need special, heavy, cast iron waffle irons to make them well. " Not really. You just need a good device. Decent waffle irons go for around 100€ and the individual pair of plates 30-60€ depending on the machine. Each type of waffle has a different mold of plates. All waffle irons close from both sides over here. Burning is always an option, that's why we expect the first waffle/pancake to fail so the next one can be timed according to the first one. No batter will be identical each and every time.
Brussel Wafles are supposed to be crisp. These are made with an entirely different batter. This the kind of dough that you mold, by hand, in to balls before putting it on the iron cast. An iron cast with wider squares us needed for these.
This was so nice but there's room for a part 2 ! With mignonettes, dessert 58, bouchée and chokotoff (all from Côte d'or, our famous chocolate company) frangipane, babelutte, manons and trappist's beer and cheese !
Im not sure if its exactly the same, but there is a little shop in Pittsburgh PA called Waffalonia that makes waffles exactly as you described that one. They even top them with ice cream or nutella or fresh fruit! My favorite is the speculoos spread with fresh banana slices.
hi Emmy I have a question! when you try an item from a viewer from a different country, do you ever reorder or seek out your favorites to eat again and enjoy all the time??
You should try toasting a piece of bread and while it is still warm, put a piece of Matinettes on it so the chocolate melts onto the bread! So good! And often Belgian friends eat that for breakfast hehe Another great video Emmy!!
Emmy you're such a star! You taste everything with the same passion and never fail to give an honest review. I'm so thankful for a channel that's not all about yucky stuff or people that thinks everything is yucky ❤
It's a shame you can't eat 'French' fries in Belgium. It is an entirely different experience than what passes for fries everywhere else. They are boiled in beef fat. That's why we don't get them anywhere else. But it's a total revelation! Thanks for eating for us.
Hi, first of all! French fries don't exist :). The reason they are called "French" is because in WW1 the american soldiers taught they were in France when they ate them for the first time. Originaly they were little fish baked in oil around Liege, but with the introduction of patatoes in Europe and a shortage of fish they started to use patatoes. You want Fries as good as in Belgium? Then follow the next steps ;) 1) Peel patatoes and cut them into fries 2) Rinse them good in water 3)Dry them 4) Bake them in oil on 160° C until most of the steam is gone . In this stage You can easily put them in a plastic bag and freeze them for later use when you have to much of them to serve. 5) Bake them in oil of 180°C until they start to what we call "sing" takes about 2-3 minutes. 6) Bake them a few seconds in oil from 190°C but if you're frier can do 200-220°C you should fry them on the hottest,till they are golden yellow 7) Poor them out in a bowl and shake them good and serve them as fast as you can hahahaha. O btw don't salt them when you shake them but let the people on the table decide if they need salt on them. Bout the beef fat you were right but nowadays most people use special plantoils in Belgium that ressist's heat very well and is better for the health. Smakelijk !
Never ever use olive oil to fry fries !!!!! They give an awful taste! There are plenty of special fry-oils that are made from mixed vegetable oils. Also much done in Belgium is to fry them the first time in beeffat for the taste and the last time in vegetable oil. That way of frying them is used in the best *** restaurant in Belgium ;)
Everything you ate with bread, most of us ate it without bread in Belgium haha. Directly with the scoop is the way to go ! And the meli chocolate, when i was a kid my mom used to buy me the lolipop version of it, it's awesome.
So hungry now, but we only have frangipanes and Zebra cakes left :( Would love some of that speculoos, to dip in coffee, and spread it out on a slice of fresh white bread. You can make the Brussels wafels at home too :D But you should come to Belgium to try all of the great chocolates and candies. Tip: google Brusselse met slagroom
I am from Belgium and I have been eating lotus Speculoos since I was 5 years old and I have never heard on the advertising on TV that they are vegan🤔🤔🤔🤨
I'm obsessed with your Emmy Eats series. And I just love how perfectly-made Belgian goodies are, seems like each company has some competition on its shoulders that's why they make them as well as possible. You're so lucky you got to taste these, Emmy. 🌸
they are competing with the locally made versions... it's impossible :p . those noses are way better fresh, just like the waffles. (and I must agree, a waffle from brussels is much better, but kind of like comparing apples with oranges, it's different. the brussels one is not sweet from itself and is mostly eaten with wipped cream or chocolate or actually both, but the one from liege is also often eaten with chocolate... just because we can, i guess) there are all kinds of speculoos. And then there weren't even any chocolate pralines in the package, which is something belgium is famous for (just like the beer... but sending beer would be difficult, allthough the fruitbeers are a great liquid snack ;) and something invented here). Neuhaus still exists and has some ridiculously expensive pralines. (that's why leonidas is more popular with tourists as they are more affordable, but neuhaus is offcourse a lot better.) and that's only the snacks offcourse. our food is equally scrumptious and mostly decadent I guess. french quality with german quantity :p . still... i don't feel like i'm the best person to send some more decadent things from belgium, as I'm a vegan and for many things i'll have to work from memory of 17 years ago. to say you'll just have to visit is a bit of a bummer, as there are so many amazing country's, it's nearly impossible to visit them all just to taste all the different amazing snacks and foods. It's just an amazing concept to have them sent to somebody like emmy, who can share her experience so lovely :) .
Ahaha super cute « specu-loose » 🤪, it’s actually pronounced similarly to the way you called it in Dutch but not an A sound but O sound at the end, it’s a deep O sound when you’ve got 2 O’s
Ho trop bien j'aurais jamais pensé que tu aurais fait une dégustation de produits belge ( car je suis belge😃)sa fait bizarre de voire se que nous on mange tout les jours !
My Food Trek For Sweden, I suggest you try doing a regional desert, like the Cheese cake of Småland, it's completely different from the US cheese cake concept, made from unhomogenized milk, cream, eggs, almonds, bitter almonds, some other ingredients I don't know by heart, baked in an oven in a tall sided metal pan, and served starting with scooping up the servings from the center of the cake for the most important guests and the hosts with whipped cream and strawberry jam. The custom of starting at the center comes from the risk of copper poisoning if the tin liner of the copper pan had any damage. Once steel and other metals took over in the kitchen, that practice of course lost it's practical purpose.
My 2nd grade teacher went to Belgium and she brought back some beautiful textiles and showed us a way to weave and make textiles like them. One thing I really remember is she said a old women who lived on a hill taught them how to make soap from animal fat! Ive always wanted to try it :) maybe you could make some soap? Great video!
Oh, yes. I've always been fascinated by saponification, but got a little stumped with finding a local source of lye. At one time you could use a brand of drain cleaner, but I haven't had any luck finding it. These days lye can be ordered online but somehow I've never gotten around to it Thanks for reminding me, though, I should do a soap how to video for my other channel -- thanks!
emmymadeinjapan you could make your own lye from ashes, I think birch and beech wood were the most common in scandinavia before the industrial revolution, while pine/fir tree oil was the most common vegetable fat used.
There are speculoos cookies with almonds in them over here made by the Jules Destrooper company in deepest West-Flanders. No way a person from Ghent is going to send you any of them. Province based rivalries are real in Flanders and the East vs West Flanders situation is particularly bad, although they both tend to gang up on Antwerp, where I live. Note: this is all in good fun. To foreigners, Flanders can seem like a harsh place... it's not, it's just ribbing friends savagely is part of what we perceive of as humour.
Are you referring to the cookies she eats at 11:00 ? Seems like they DID send it. So much for your "rivalry" theory. It would help if you actually decide to sit through the entire video before commenting.
I think my lil heart has been anticipating a country taste-test! I could not sleep last night so I put on a playlist of them and fell asleep to these. I love these most ❤ - love from Michigan!
meli is the greek word for honey, how strange its on a belgium product..... hundreds of years ago the greeks landed on what we call now "Malta" and malta is ment to come from the greek word meli or honey because of the honey made on the island .. fun fact eh 😊
I visited Gent about 2 year ago (from Norway). I actually tried those Gent Noses, but I didn't know they were called that! They were in every candy shop in all different colors and flavors :)
@@DJazzHands waffels with sugar , ( this i really dont like ) , all coffe cookies , bread , frietjes , . But its something what i really like ... ( Only thing ) - broodjes. This i really like .
Groeten uit Antwerpen, mijn vriendin van Oostende, mijn kameraden van Gent en Brussel en van Wallonië waar ik zoveel mogelijk naartoe ga. K wou altijd naar Amerika, ma los van de politiek ga ik nog liever naar Isla de Quemada Grande. Daar heb k als Belg veel meer kans te overleven dan eten in de US hahaha groetjes aan elke Belg, waar dan ook :)
In the Netherlands it's actually quite a popular snack (at least when I was a kid) to eat the windmill cookie kind of speculaas on white bread. It's delicious and we even have a sprinkle product called "Schuddebuikjes" (shakey bellies) which are small pieces of speculaas cookies!
Oh my heavenly days....I drooled all the way thru this video! My low carb eating butt would do tricks for some of this goodness!!! lol I LOVE the speculoos cookies, they are my fav cookie but I've never tried those last ones you showed but I have seen them in our grocery store. I'll have to try some one of these days because you make everything sound so lovely! =}
In my opinion speculoos is even better when you dip it in coffee. In fact the speculoos spread was invented by someone who was sick and tired of dipping it in coffee cause it's kinda messy. But it's still not as delicious as actually dipping it in coffee
Loved this video! As a Belgian I smetimes underestimate the tasty goodies we have, but this video really made me want to go out and buy some 'speculoospasta'! My absolute favourite belgian treat are 'mattentaarten', a pastry filled with a milky, slighty sour but way more sweet 'dough'... I dont even know how to describe it >< but if you'll ever be able to come down to Belgium, you got to try one of these! After eating a glorious waffle ofcourse.
When I was really little my dad used to travel aboard a lot with his job. He would bring back new and different food for us to try and one of my very favourite things was thin snappy chocolate sheets to have on a sandwich. I loved that so much!! It was so unlike anything I'd ever had as a little girl in the Uk in the 1070s😊
You forgot to tell us what to comment! Fixed now! Yes, we always got mini meatballs on pizza from a favorite pizza place when I was a kid. And pineapple! Speculoos reminds me of Biscoff which is served on Alaska Airlines. They have a spread now as well. I want to send you a package from my very unique part of California. Should I contact you via Facebook or email?

Then follow the next steps ;) 1) Peel patatoes and cut them into fries 2) Rinse them good in water 3)Dry them 4) Bake them in oil on 160° C until most of the steam is gone . In this stage You can easily put them in a plastic bag and freeze them for later use when you have to much of them to serve. 5) Bake them in oil of 180°C until they start to what we call "sing" takes about 2-3 minutes. 6) Bake them a few seconds in oil from 190°C but if you're frier can do 200-220°C you should fry them on the hottest,till they are golden yellow 7) Poor them out in a bowl and shake them good and serve them as fast as you can hahahaha. O btw don't salt them when you shake them but let the people on the table decide if they need salt on them. Bout the beef fat you were right but nowadays most people use special plantoils in Belgium that ressist's heat very well and is better for the health. Smakelijk !
The Anadromous Life yeah, we don't use beef fat, we just use olive oil or sunflower oil or something like that
Never ever use olive oil to fry fries !!!!! They give an awful taste! There are plenty of special fry-oils that are made from mixed vegetable oils.
Also much done in Belgium is to fry them the first time in beeffat for the taste and the last time in vegetable oil. That way of frying them is used in the best *** restaurant in Belgium ;)
Everything you ate with bread, most of us ate it without bread in Belgium haha. Directly with the scoop is the way to go ! And the meli chocolate, when i was a kid my mom used to buy me the lolipop version of it, it's awesome.
So hungry now, but we only have frangipanes and Zebra cakes left :( Would love some of that speculoos, to dip in coffee, and spread it out on a slice of fresh white bread. You can make the Brussels wafels at home too :D But you should come to Belgium to try all of the great chocolates and candies. Tip: google Brusselse met slagroom
I am studying in Belgium for three months and the things that you showed are way too sweet for me but the waffles meeeeeen I am addicted to them
Delta serves the Lotus Biscoff cookies. They are also sold in most stores here in the US (Kroger, Target, Walmart). They're also vegan ☺️
I am from Belgium and I have been eating lotus Speculoos since I was 5 years old and I have never heard on the advertising on TV that they are vegan🤔🤔🤔🤨
Biscoff cookie butter! So delicious, love the cookies too :D Also i've been to Ghent, it's beautiful there :D
angelnia86 its gent not ghent
Het Puppy Huis - Puppy Parodies In engels is het Ghent. :)
angelnia86 rlly thx for letting me know
those liege waffles use pearl sugar to create that crystalline sugar sensation.
I eat belgium chocolate since I was a child... and swiss too
I'm obsessed with your Emmy Eats series. And I just love how perfectly-made Belgian goodies are, seems like each company has some competition on its shoulders that's why they make them as well as possible. You're so lucky you got to taste these, Emmy. 🌸
SingingMyBlue we're a very proud little nation 😄 always trying to perfect the things we love aka food and beer
I am very lucky. 🙏
emmymadeinjapan I'm even luckier for getting a reply from you. Lots of love from Syria. 🌸💙
they are competing with the locally made versions... it's impossible :p . those noses are way better fresh, just like the waffles. (and I must agree, a waffle from brussels is much better, but kind of like comparing apples with oranges, it's different. the brussels one is not sweet from itself and is mostly eaten with wipped cream or chocolate or actually both, but the one from liege is also often eaten with chocolate... just because we can, i guess) there are all kinds of speculoos. And then there weren't even any chocolate pralines in the package, which is something belgium is famous for (just like the beer... but sending beer would be difficult, allthough the fruitbeers are a great liquid snack ;) and something invented here). Neuhaus still exists and has some ridiculously expensive pralines. (that's why leonidas is more popular with tourists as they are more affordable, but neuhaus is offcourse a lot better.)
and that's only the snacks offcourse. our food is equally scrumptious and mostly decadent I guess. french quality with german quantity :p .
still... i don't feel like i'm the best person to send some more decadent things from belgium, as I'm a vegan and for many things i'll have to work from memory of 17 years ago.
to say you'll just have to visit is a bit of a bummer, as there are so many amazing country's, it's nearly impossible to visit them all just to taste all the different amazing snacks and foods. It's just an amazing concept to have them sent to somebody like emmy, who can share her experience so lovely :) .
Ahaha super cute « specu-loose » 🤪, it’s actually pronounced similarly to the way you called it in Dutch but not an A sound but O sound at the end, it’s a deep O sound when you’ve got 2 O’s
Ho trop bien j'aurais jamais pensé que tu aurais fait une dégustation de produits belge ( car je suis belge😃)sa fait bizarre de voire se que nous on mange tout les jours !
Yes and the whole world speaks french
He says : Awesome i would never have thought, that you will be tasting Belgian products, it's weird seeing what we eat everyday !
@@initiald7115 you could just put it into a translator
I've never been this early for anything in my life! Love you Emmy! :)
Oh cool! I'm trying to cook a dish from every country in the world on my channel!
Someone just suggested Belgium to me last week! Can't wait!
My Food Trek Did you do Iran yet? You should. Mmmmm...
gorilla glue not yet! I'm always open to suggestions though. what do you think?
My Food Trek
what are you planning on making? if you happen to still be looking for suggestions, i could offer up a few 😄
My Food Trek Make some persian rice & fesenjoon or kebab to go with it. You won't be disappointed. I'm subbing to your channel right now :)
My Food Trek For Sweden, I suggest you try doing a regional desert, like the Cheese cake of Småland, it's completely different from the US cheese cake concept, made from unhomogenized milk, cream, eggs, almonds, bitter almonds, some other ingredients I don't know by heart, baked in an oven in a tall sided metal pan, and served starting with scooping up the servings from the center of the cake for the most important guests and the hosts with whipped cream and strawberry jam. The custom of starting at the center comes from the risk of copper poisoning if the tin liner of the copper pan had any damage. Once steel and other metals took over in the kitchen, that practice of course lost it's practical purpose.
Here in London they also sell the Lotus biscuits and the spread which are delicious.😋
My 2nd grade teacher went to Belgium and she brought back some beautiful textiles and showed us a way to weave and make textiles like them. One thing I really remember is she said a old women who lived on a hill taught them how to make soap from animal fat! Ive always wanted to try it :) maybe you could make some soap? Great video!
Oh, yes. I've always been fascinated by saponification, but got a little stumped with finding a local source of lye. At one time you could use a brand of drain cleaner, but I haven't had any luck finding it. These days lye can be ordered online but somehow I've never gotten around to it Thanks for reminding me, though, I should do a soap how to video for my other channel -- thanks!
emmymadeinjapan wait, what other channel? !
emmymadeinjapan you could make your own lye from ashes, I think birch and beech wood were the most common in scandinavia before the industrial revolution, while pine/fir tree oil was the most common vegetable fat used.
moonlight blues emmymade, go sub since u asked for it
@@emmymade Yes you can make soap from animals and that includes humans. As proven by the Germans in WWII.
the spread is amazing on Granny Smith apples!
Mmm...
Daaang! i always thought i'm the only belgian fan! I'm so happy to see you taste some belgian treats
Ben & Jerry's has a Speculoos Core that's crazy good.
There are speculoos cookies with almonds in them over here made by the Jules Destrooper company in deepest West-Flanders. No way a person from Ghent is going to send you any of them. Province based rivalries are real in Flanders and the East vs West Flanders situation is particularly bad, although they both tend to gang up on Antwerp, where I live.
Note: this is all in good fun. To foreigners, Flanders can seem like a harsh place... it's not, it's just ribbing friends savagely is part of what we perceive of as humour.
but destrooper doesn,tmake speculoos :p greetz from diksmuide in the deepest of west flanders to :D
Are you referring to the cookies she eats at 11:00 ? Seems like they DID send it. So much for your "rivalry" theory. It would help if you actually decide to sit through the entire video before commenting.
I live in Belgium and have never heard of most of these treats
I think my lil heart has been anticipating a country taste-test! I could not sleep last night so I put on a playlist of them and fell asleep to these. I love these most ❤ - love from Michigan!
ps- meatballs on your pizza?
Your pronounciation is so sweet emmy :)
Trader Joe's Cookie Butter is just like that I'm sure... it's made with Speculoos cookies as well ;) sooooooooo yummy
Jess A it's very similar but the crunchy variety actually has cookie crumbles mixed into the spread!
TJ's makes a crunchy one too! And a chocolate swirled one *heart eye emoji*
You get those mints because it helps if you ate to muchit makes you feel less blown
Ahhh~ The person who sent you that package did a great job at selecting our treats. So glad you were positive on all of them!
meli is the greek word for honey, how strange its on a belgium product..... hundreds of years ago the greeks landed on what we call now "Malta" and malta is ment to come from the greek word meli or honey because of the honey made on the island .. fun fact eh 😊
Yaaay België!!!!
The cod liver intrigues me. I definitely want to try it!
Jennifer Myers I've had it here, just North of Toronto, Canada. I like it!
I'm quite certain I'd enjoy it. I am on the hunt for some!
I visited Gent about 2 year ago (from Norway). I actually tried those Gent Noses, but I didn't know they were called that! They were in every candy shop in all different colors and flavors :)
yes! I live for your videos ❤❤❤
+Emily Son 💕
Who is here from Belgium?❤🇧🇪
IK BEN HAHAHA
Ik ook 😊
i'm Belgian as well, and my parents dip their speculoos in their coffee and put it on top of a slice of bread and some cheese :)
I'm from Belgium and yes, we have amazing food!
I hate food from belgium .... Bleee
@@biedroneczkakropeczka7977 What is it that you don't like about it then?
@@DJazzHands waffels with sugar , ( this i really dont like ) , all coffe cookies , bread , frietjes , . But its something what i really like ... ( Only thing ) - broodjes. This i really like .
@@biedroneczkakropeczka7977 Alright, everyone has their own taste. I hope you'll be able to enjoy a lot of 'broodjes' then!
@@DJazzHands thank you 🤗😘
the speculoos is great if you crush it and use it as a topping for vanilla ice cream
I love how eloquent, respectful, appreciative and sincere you are towards the food you're tasting. ❤️
Groeten uit Antwerpen, mijn vriendin van Oostende, mijn kameraden van Gent en Brussel en van Wallonië waar ik zoveel mogelijk naartoe ga. K wou altijd naar Amerika, ma los van de politiek ga ik nog liever naar Isla de Quemada Grande. Daar heb k als Belg veel meer kans te overleven dan eten in de US hahaha groetjes aan elke Belg, waar dan ook :)
were is Belgium
idk in emmys stomach....haha....ill leave
the rock monster Belgium is located right next to France.
Above france , underneath the netherlands, on the left of Germany and on the right of England
Ow so Luxembourg doesn't count anymore.. 😂
Luxembourg never counted....Unless you've got a shitton of money to stash away from the Belgian state ;).
Flemming Schrijvers 😂😂😂😂👌🏼
The answer is Delta Airlines. Just had those on the flight I was just on 10 minutes ago lol. They are very good wroth coffee or tea.
Kat I've had them on Alaska.
Kat American Airlines serves them as well 😊
Geen Antwerpse Handjes??!! GVD
In the Netherlands it's actually quite a popular snack (at least when I was a kid) to eat the windmill cookie kind of speculaas on white bread. It's delicious and we even have a sprinkle product called "Schuddebuikjes" (shakey bellies) which are small pieces of speculaas cookies!
Oh my heavenly days....I drooled all the way thru this video! My low carb eating butt would do tricks for some of this goodness!!! lol I LOVE the speculoos cookies, they are my fav cookie but I've never tried those last ones you showed but I have seen them in our grocery store. I'll have to try some one of these days because you make everything sound so lovely! =}
Omg. If you love speculoos you have GOT to try that spread (make sure it's crunchy) - deeevine.
In my opinion speculoos is even better when you dip it in coffee. In fact the speculoos spread was invented by someone who was sick and tired of dipping it in coffee cause it's kinda messy. But it's still not as delicious as actually dipping it in coffee
Meatballs on your pizza? 😉
Loved this video! As a Belgian I smetimes underestimate the tasty goodies we have, but this video really made me want to go out and buy some 'speculoospasta'! My absolute favourite belgian treat are 'mattentaarten', a pastry filled with a milky, slighty sour but way more sweet 'dough'... I dont even know how to describe it >< but if you'll ever be able to come down to Belgium, you got to try one of these! After eating a glorious waffle ofcourse.
My kitty girl Ziggy sat and watched with me. She seemed very interested in the cod livers :)
Emmymadeinjapan eats belgian food. Belgians: hippity hoppity your comment section is now our property
Such a wonderful thoughtful package! I loved it! Great job 👍
😋
As a flaming, belgium has very bad food. For european food, you must go to the medditeran sea countries.
Belgium👌❤❤💕
Belgian waffles are so good! 😍❤️
When I was really little my dad used to travel aboard a lot with his job. He would bring back new and different food for us to try and one of my very favourite things was thin snappy chocolate sheets to have on a sandwich. I loved that so much!! It was so unlike anything I'd ever had as a little girl in the Uk in the 1070s😊
Haha 1970s not 1070s!! I'm not *that old* 😆😆
Aboard or abroad?
You forgot to tell us what to comment!
Fixed now! Yes, we always got mini meatballs on pizza from a favorite pizza place when I was a kid. And pineapple!
Speculoos reminds me of Biscoff which is served on Alaska Airlines. They have a spread now as well.
I want to send you a package from my very unique part of California. Should I contact you via Facebook or email?
I love these videos so much- the way you describe things is perfect!
As someone who cracked a tooth on a hard HiChew, I worry for you every time you bite a hard candy 😂
