Speculoos Biscuits

A few days ago my wife and I were in a show room arranging what the new kitchen for our yet-to-be-built house will look like. We had to get up pretty early and the process took most of the morning but luckily there was a steady supply of tea to keep us going. Each cup of tea also came with one of those individually wrapped biscuits that you usually get in a cafe. In this case they just happened to be Speculoos biscuits.

This led to my wife casually mentioning my fondness for Speculoos to the lady drawing up the plans for our kitchen, which then led to a conversation about my obsession/addiction with the flavour and the many strange Speculoos products I have tried.

The conversation was soon over and I thought nothing more of it but the news obviously spread quickly around the show room office. The next time the secretary brought us our drinks (I had switched to cola) she announced, “I heard you like Speculoos,” and placed this gift on the table in front of me:

I’m now half expecting/fearing them to pre-stock our kitchen full of Speculoos biscuits when they have finished building it.
