i just came back from amsterdam last week and now i'm completely and hopelessly ADDICTED to stroopwafels... i sat here and ate half the bag i brought back in less than 5 mins. now i want to buy some more REAL stroopwafels from the netherlands, but i can't figure out which online stores sell the good stuff, and which ones just sell crap to foreigners who don't know any better...

maybe if anyone is willing to go buy some for me, i will pay you for your time and the shipping costs.

btw... i LOVED amsterdam... best city i've ever been to... and no, i'm not some kind of hooligan drug tourist...

Do you remember where you bought them?

I'm not sure about Canada but in the UK Stroopwafels are available in $tarbucks. I know you said

REAL stroopwafels

but to be honest I didn't find them much different from real ones - and I used to get the real ones quite often because my sister goes to Holland regularly.
Other than that, dutch produced stroopwafels appear in quite a few grocer shops around London - no specialist dutch shop, just a standard corner food shop. I reckon you could just ask around for "dutch waffles"/"syrup waffles".

PS I mean London, England, not London, Ontario

PPS Your ADDICTION to stroopwafels can't be a normal thing - are you sure they just contained syrup?

PPPS Actually, yeah, maybe they can be addictive - the fresh chewy ones - sometimes you get some older drier ones which aren't so good.

The best are the ones made on those little stands whenever there is a market, with hot syrup and warm waffles
