What I do do is take a stroopwafel (typically Dutch kind of biscuit, look them up, they're delicious) and put it on top of my hot mug. It will then steam and go luverly soft and warm and gooey, without getting crumbs in my char.
Thank goodness my brother is flying KLM through Amsterdam next year when he comes home for a visit and can stock up for me.
When I was in the Netherlands a few years ago I threw out most of my clothes and just packed my suitcase full of stroopwafels on the return flight.

If someone who calls himself "Marmite lover" has such an obviously good taste concerning stroopwafels, that substance must at least be worth sampling. I shall have to find myself a jar.
But not to dunk it in my tea, of course.

Originally posted by Shallow BlueStroopwafels are delicious, but as marmite is supposedly very close to Vitam-R which is very very nasty stuff, I am not inclined to try that. Jar-dunking sounds relatively harmless though, provided that the jar is closed well.

I repudiate all this dunking.
One eats dry biscuit, and one drinks wet tea. The magical mingling should occur only within the mouth. Never, ever, outside it.
Any violation of this precept entail instant disqualification from the class of gentlemen and ladies.
Still, I feel I should make a positive contribution to the thread.
So, at the risk of going slightly off-topic, here is a example of just how magic a mouthful of mingling can be.
Regular McVities Digestives are nice.
Chocolate McVities Digestives are even nicer.
We all agree. However, can we improve on the latter? Yes.
Take a Galaxy bar. Have a bite.
Take a regular McVities Digestive. Have a bite.
Do the above in close temporal conjunction. I guarantee you will live to thank me.
Originally posted by IshDaGeggI would venture to suggest that plain chocolate mcvities digestives are the nicest. Dunno what a stroopwaffel is, but I'm definitely gonna try one next time I'm in Amsterdam.

Bovril is much better actually. Marmite makes a weird cheese flavoured spread that is absolutely awesome though, try that one instead.
The stroopwafels made outside of the Netherlands, except some I tried from Belgium, is horrible. Tried some local ones a few years ago and it was horrible. Not nearly as soft, with what seemed to be margarine and a too thick filling of rock-hard syrup.
Tasted like cardboard with cheap syrup.

Originally posted by CrowleyI might, but I don't think I'll be able to find either of those anywhere near me. They'll have to wait until I visit Blighty again, which may be goodness knows when. But I know I've seen Marmite itself in the shops somewhere around.

Bovril - isn't that the OXO Cube Extra Strong Inna Jar thingie?

Originally posted by Shallow BlueHave you noticed how Oxo have turned their cubes into a "X" (so they cant really be called a cube any more), and it amazes me how the cheap bastards can think by making it an "X" will tempt us to buy more because it is an "X", where are the bits of the cube that were cut away to make the "X", they are stashing them up to make more "X" cubes, they are still charging for the missing bits though.

I bet they were frothing at the mouth in the boardroom when they come up with that wonderful idea.
