cerealjoe: (Jenni - whatever!)
Have you ever noticed that sometimes some products just miraculously start appearing everywhere "du jour au lendemain". One day you only have some crappy peanut butter variation* and fake chocolate spread** on the shelves next to the Nutella... and the next there are jars of spreadable Speculoos in virtually every single shop on those shelves.

Alright, so that's not totally true, those jars did not pop up everywhere at once. The first time I saw that jar was in a Monoprix in Paris in November***. At the time I thought that it was the craziest thing ever, spreadable Speculoos... the things that Parisians eat. I wasn't going to bring one back with me on the train and so I forgot all about that jar. Then one day my mum bought one at a local store and I think I scared the neighbourhood with my squeeing when I saw it. I wanted to try it right away but did not. It's the same with funky cookies, just knowing that the box is right there and that I will be able to eat and enjoy them when there I need some food comfort brings me a lot more joy than tearing into the jar/bag right away. Right now I have some funky cookies from the Asian shop stashed away just like that.

In the end, I opened the jar the other day.



Now, we won't get into the whole battle of who created the Speculoos, it's very dangerous ground. We'll just say that they're from up north. And now there is no need for one to spend energy chewing them! Amazing stuff guys!
