As kids we always had to eat at least 1 sandwich with healthy stuff (cheese or meat) before we could get hagelslag or vlokken.Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240886179336298463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168521040936634641.post-25760019831521127792015-02-23T00:56:50.906+01:002015-02-23T00:56:50.906+01:00I love how simple they are.

The strangest sounding foods to me are hagelslag and vlokken. Not that I'm any stranger to chocolate, but eating it on top of bread and butter...that's definitely unusual here in the U.S., or at least in Missouri.Reading in the Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812641480668564435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168521040936634641.post-84298039875154596362015-02-21T23:03:14.603+01:002015-02-21T23:03:14.603+01:00Ah, krakelingen!

They're crispy and flaky and marvelous.

We once had friends who lived in Holland and moved to England, and when I asked them what they missed most, they said it was the stroopwafels!

It´s also really good with strawberries when they´re in season!<br /><br />I think you might mean ´saucijzenbroodje´ which is a ´sausage bun´. Ah yes, almond flavoring, we usually eat that around Sinterklaas and a little bit for Christmas!Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240886179336298463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168521040936634641.post-17502515076054944932015-02-20T20:26:24.792+01:002015-02-20T20:26:24.792+01:00As you know, my mom's family is Dutch, some of...As you know, my mom's family is Dutch, some of them from Friesland. Although it was my great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents who came here from Holland, my mom's family is very attached to their Dutch heritage. I can remember eating rusks for a snack at my grandparents' house -- these crispy round pieces of bread, usually topped with butter and a slice of cheese. And my grandma would make "suh-sigh-shee" -- no idea how to really spell that, but they were sausages wrapped up in little pancakes. And lots of baked goods with almond flavoring in them :-9<br /><br />Maybe I love cheese so much because I'm half Dutch? :-DHamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.com
