This time, we talked about this must have treats when you at least when you come by, Holland of course, and with the trusty source as always. So, These gem are believed to be originated in the Dutch town of Gouda, yes they make those Cheese, The Gouda Cheese!, wayy back in 1784, Legend has it that a resourceful local baker created the very first stroopwafel from the leftover of a breadcrumbs, that he subsequently sweetened with syrup. Wow... What a legend. These ...Wonderful biscuits then quickly caught on, like then there are 100 stroopwafel bakers in that town alone. And at wildfire reflex like, the stroopwafel then became a popular national snack sold at market stalls nationwide, throughout no kidding, although it wasn't until the 20th century that factories began to mass-produce them.
