Stroopwafels

So the biggest disappointment of my trip to Amsterdam was learning that I had mis-remembered my Pulp Fiction, and that France is the only country in which you can find a Royale with Cheese. (Duh! Why else would they be talking about Le Big Mac?) But it is true that the Dutch drown their french fries in mayonnaise. And I would expect no less from the culture that invented bitterballen. People claim these are little meat-filled croquettes, but they look and taste more like deep-fried gravy. Yum!

Still, the clear winner in the Amsterdam junk food derby is the stroopwafel. Two cinnamon graham crackers with caramel in the middle. The extra grote equals extra deliciousness!
