Bitterballen, poffertjes, awesome cheeses of all sorts, rookworst, stroopwafels, (...) pannekoek.

We're great at snacks, that's absolutely true.

But we share speculaas with Belgium and Germany, and spekkoek is Indonesian. Advocaat is... Probably an acquired taste, I've never seen anyone under 60 drink it

I'd be drinking Advocaat all the time if it wasn't so expensive.

Funny story, we were in the Netherlands around the holidays last year and COULD NOT find advocaat. :( It definitely seems to be an old-person drink.

Comes of being a second-generation Canadian. I grew up with advocaat but I guess it's a snapshot of ye olde times.
