My cousin’s ex-wife, who is Dutch by birth, brings us a stack of homemade waffles every Christmas. Neener neener. 
My husband’s previous company was headquartered in Delft and he would go a couple times a year. Sometimes I’d meet him over there, but the times I didn’t, he always brought back a couple packages of stroopwafel.
I believe that World Market also carries stroopwafel too but their website is currently down so I can’t confirm.
I live in the middle of the Dutch part of Michigan. They’re literally everywhere. We commonly use them as coasters and to balance tables in a pinch. Some spring days, I have to shovel piles of them out of my driveway. Restaurants use them as after-dinner mints. Doctors’ offices have piles of them in the waiting room for patients. Stores pay *you *to take them off their shelves. Our wooden shoes often get stuck in all the syrupy stroopwafel residue on the streets. I just had 18 or 19 of them with my coffee this morning and have a stroopwafel casserole in the oven for lunch. I have three dozen stroopwafels nailed to the wall next to my desk so I can have quick access if I need a fix. My eldest son’s middle name is Wafel. They tell me my blood type is “Brown Sugar.” What was the question again?
My wife actually makes stroopwafels periodically and uses a pizzelle maker to make the cookie part.
So not very far off at all!
Where do you people live that they’re not pretty readily available? Here in Dallas, they’re not super-available like other ethnic foods like tortillas or fish sauce, but still pretty common they’re always available at nearly every high-end grocer, most ethnic groceries and places like Cost-Plus World Market. They’re often available at the regular grocery and places like Wal-Mart as well.
The first time I had one, it was freshly made from these guys.
The words “stroopwafel” and “blackstrap” (the type of molasses) are related. “Stroop” in Dutch means syrup. “Stroopwafel” means “syrup waffle,” and “blackstrap” means “black syrup.”
My great-granduncle served in the Stroopwafel during WWII.
I had my first stroopwaffel in Delft last year. It was freshly made by a street vendor, and it was delightful. Several months later I got a packaged one on a flight, but obviously it wasn’t quite the same.
United Airlines serves on US domestic flights during the morning hours.
I’ve had a large box in my kitchen since Christmas.
I’ve had so many that I’ve gotten tired of having so many.
Next you should ask who’s eaten a rijstaffel or sambal.
I think Trader Joe’s has a version. I haven’t looked for them in awhile. They call them something else so look at the cookie, not the name. I LOVE stroopwafels and while I haven’t seen them regularly around here, they turn up frequently in various stores. I also got a box yesterday of just the cookie, no center. They’re nice and buttery and were wonderful with tea. They’re made in Belgium and I felt very European. 
But where’s your salmiak drop? 
That’s it then. I fly United usually and have had them. They’re yummy.
It’s a common dessert in Colombia, where they called it arequipe.
I answered “no,” but after looking at a picture of it, I realized I had one within the last two or three weeks. I can’t for the life of me remember where, though.
It should be my cup of tea. On paper, it sounds like exactly the sort of thing I’d like.
In practice, it has a weird texture and a weirder flavor and just isn’t good at all. I got through half of one before giving up.
I answered yes, but it’d be more accurate to say that I’ve had the remains of one. Mom brought one back for me from one of her many travels, and just as instructed, I warmed it over a cup of tea. Except that apparently my cup of tea has a larger diameter than Dutch cups of tea, and as the cookie steamed, it softened enough that it collapsed into the tea before I could consume either.
I don’t know, I’ve never strooped.
I’ve had them. Yummy. I got them at a store around here not too long ago. Can’t remember which one, though.
Yes, very often actually but they’re easy to find in Belgium. Yummy but a couple at the time is enough.
When I was a kid, I used to have lacquemants, when traveling carnivals came to town. They’re thin wafers, filled with syrup. Lots and lots of syrup. Good times.
Being from the Netherlands, the answer is yes.
These days they sell them in special variations. Covered with chocolate.
And since a year or two with “speculaas” flavor (another dutch cookie, Speculaas - Wikipedia)
I strongly believe that stroopwafels were part of the reason my wife fell in love with me.
The packaged ones got her interested, a fresh one when she first visited sealed the deal.
