A coworker of mine introduced them to me, but she only is able to get them when someone goes overseas and brings them back for her! I realize that you can purchase them through some online vendors but we're trying to avoid the hassle and shipping costs :-) Tue Mar 11 05:57:58 -0700 2008 173744 Foodiegirl_Boston 1 3480877 What are they? I assume it's one product, made by Gouda? :-) I had to read your post just because of the complicated title. Tue Mar 11 06:39:19 -0700 2008 3480761 18264 steinpilz 2 3480987 Actually, "Gouda's Gilde" is the brand. "Siroopwafels" literally translates to (I think) "syrup waffles" (I also think they are more commonly called "stroopwafels" - same translation). They consist of a layer of caramel sandwiched between two thin waffle cookies, and were first made in the town of Gouda. The brand is owned by the Dutch company Van der Breggen, which also produces siroopwafels under the Kanjers and Baker Joop brands, which may give the original poster some additional items to search for. Unfortunately, I don't know where to find them in the Boston area. A 2004 Boston Globe article said that Cardullo's in Harvard Square and Whole Foods carried siroopwafels, but different brands. Tue Mar 11 07:14:26 -0700 2008 3480877 112680 overproofed 3 3481068 I think Trader Joes carries them! Tue Mar 11 07:34:48 -0700 2008 3480987 12647 JudyHP 4 3481104 They definitely do carry some brand of stroopwafel. It's a nice treat. I need to do a TJs trip soon so I'll keep an eye out for what brand they are. Tue Mar 11 07:42:56 -0700 2008 3481068 10027 Chris VR 4 3481193 I don't think TJs carries the Gouda's Gilde brand, but they definitely have stroopwafels. I *know* I've seen them in Whole Foods and specialty food stores - perhaps Williams-Sonoma and/or Sur la Table? Tue Mar 11 08:04:52 -0700 2008 3481068 10532 LindaWhit 1 3481249 I buy them at Cardullo's and Whole Foods. I'm pretty sure I saw them at Savenor's. I can't vouch for the brand -- the stroopwaffels I've seen aren't "Gouda's Gilde". They're great to put atop a cup of coffee/tea so the syrup inside softens!

Can take out also. Tue Mar 11 11:22:09 -0700 2008 3480761 16129 fredid
