    The speculoospasta was develloped during the tvshow De Uitvinders (The Inventors) some years ago. It was an ordinary officeworker who came up with the idea. She started up an agreement with Lotus, the Belgian company famous for it speculooscookies. She earned a lot of money with it. Lotus made the speculoospasta big in Belgium and later on the rest of Europe... Too bad for our Dutch friends but speculoospasta is really a Belgian invention.

      Ja, het is echt ongelooflijk hoe die Nederlanders onze Belgische producten willen 'recupereren', en dan vooral die producten die het ook internationaal goed doen. In een andere video comment stream is zelfs eentje die mordicus beweert dat Hoegaarden nu 'a Dutch beer' zou zijn. On-voor-stel-baar. Die arrogantie! Not cool! Er zijn vast genoeg *echt* Nederlandse/Hollandse producten die ze kunnen promoten.

    • @GeertDelmulle
      @GeertDelmulle 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Als jullie dat denken en het ook écht menen: ga dan naar de rechtbank en haal je gelijk. Voor de rest: stop met onze producten te recupereren.

    • @Beggar42
      @Beggar42 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Anne Zomer There are a bunch of products that could be categorized as both Flemish and Dutch, and stroopwafels are one of them. They've long been a staple of fairs/carnivals in Flanders, oldest use of them that I know of is 1848 (which, granted, is a few decades after their first recorded use in the Netherlands).
      Dutch (sic) dumplings/oliebollen/smoutebollen are another example of a product that has long since been popular in both countries. As are candy apples/toffee apples/pommes d'amour/kak van Maria/whatever other name they might have.

    I went to Belgium 2 years ago and stayed near Ghent, all the food was delicious! (if you're on holiday near Ghent then you should definitely eat at Amadeus!) I had a cote d'or chocolate probably everyday and I even tried the Belgian fries with mayo and they were so good. definitely recommend Belgium if you're into food and interesting and pretty places

  • @GamerDuDimanche1456
    @GamerDuDimanche1456 9 ปีที่แล้ว +151

    Please please please English people, stop saying 'French' fries. Please. This is not correct. Fries where created in Belgium. Or in France. nobody knows. But it is definitely not France (yes I'm Belgian). Just say fries. Without the smelly 'French' before. From the heart of the people here in Belgium, thank you.
    PS: It's always funny to ear french word from an English mouth XD, but i guess it is the same the other way around. And by the way, it is 'omelette AU fromage' for those who didn't know.
    Sorry for any mistakes, i still learn English.

    • @natiikdc1312
      @natiikdc1312 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      God you are totally right! Fries were not invented in France!! They are NOT french fries. I am also half belgian and I hate it when people say french fries.

    • @EvaBodyTRASH
      @EvaBodyTRASH 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      G. Dewert the term "French" was introduced when British and American soldiers arrived in Belgium during World War I and consequently tasted Belgian (Flemish) fries. They supposedly called them "French", as it was the official language of the Belgian Army at that time, believing themselves to be in France. So the term "French fries" was growing popular but we (Belgians) prefer the term Belgian or Flemish fries.

    • @sorry933

    Speculoos are ginger biscuits.
    The speculoos spread is recent, it's like in the uk they decided to take the humble digestive and turn it into a spread.
    In france or belgium when you order a coffee at a café they usually give you for free either a speculoos biscuit or a piece of chocolate :)

    Little story about the ''speculoospasta''. Speculoos is a very famous cookie in Belgium. And a couple years ago there was a show, ''de bedenkers'' (translated: the inventors). People who invented something could enter the show. And this wormen used to make a kind of paste of the speculoos cookies. She won the show and the company Lotus now makes the paste. The woman gets €0.01 for every pot thats been sold. A,D because so many people buy it, she now is very rich. GREETZ FROM BELGIUM : D

    A few things are not aspecialy belgium like the first chocolate on a stick. They sell them all over in holland at the lidll. And the speculoos is totaly dutch . And the stroopwafels are soooo dutch. Yes they maybye honey instead of stroop but anyway it is dissaponting to see there are not like belgium bonbons or chocalete where belgium is fammous for. I am from Holland so i now. And those patatochips are also sold all over holland. In a.h and other stores. They are tasting really good but they are not aspecially from België but oke it is nice you send that to barry. And this is no hate mail Just my observation. So don't write all b.s because it is a waste of time

      DarkFlames +EnjoyMyProfile The honey waffle doesn't taste like Stroopwaffles, and you can't attach Speeculoos only to Holland (there is also a speculoos-like cookies in Germany). It's absolutely ridiculous to believe that the current political borders between our countries have anything to do with culture and traditions, especially in countries that aren't even 1000 years old as they stand today. We share a common cultural background because we live so close together in the same area of the world and we have been mixing and sharing for thousands of years. It's useless to try to bring up hate and nationalism over food. We should enjoy it as something we share, not as some identity item that we need to fight over.

      She's right. We have cookies called speculaas. And Stroopwafels have caramel in them. Not honey. :)

      Chips (BE) or french fries (AE) were invented in Belgium lol. No clue where you did your research, but nowhere is stated that they were invented in the Netherlands.

      valentina del bello Hard to say were speculoos originates from, since you find it in Belgium, NL, North of France and West of Germany. The difference is the recipe, personally I prefer the soft ones from Belgium. Btw, I guess the original recipe dates back to when Belgium and Netherlands were one, this might explain the blur on the real origins.

      Wow, typically dutch people, I agree with the stroop waffle but lotus is a belgian company and they make speculoos and if u actually learned your history lesson about food, French Fries were actually invented by belgians.

    If I'm right, Meli (the name of the honey waffles) just means honey

    • @Celine98765
      @Celine98765 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      'Meli' is just the brand. 'Honing' means honey.

    • @guyphillips13
      @guyphillips13 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh sorry :) I just thought because I'm portuguese honey is mel so it would have made sense logistically

    We have that Speculoos spread in the U.S. as well, it's called Biscoff. I love that spread, and their cookies, but it can be a bit too rich for the tastebuds.

      Daniel Welch It really depends where you live, like in my street we each year have a street celebration where we close off the street and put a tent in the middle and have a bbq with everyone from the street. There also are some crancky and not nice people but I guess you have them everywhere :p

    I'm not back in the mother country that often nowadays, but you're DEFINITELY not supposed to eat the sirup by the spoonful. Not unless you're in uni and being promised a twenty for finishing the jar in five minutes. It's basically jam concentrate; a little goes a long, long way.
