Speculoos Rehab Fail
Most of you already know about my unhealthy Speculoos/Speculaas addiction and about the many Speculoos products that I have tried. I’ve written about them so many times that I am in danger of becoming Holland’s leading expert and reviewer of Speculoos products. I’m honestly surprised that none of you have tried to hold an intervention to put a stop to it.
But I guess you didn’t have to. My addiction came to an end last year when I tried the terrible Febo’s Speculooskroket. It broke me. I couldn’t even finish it. It was so bad that I turned my back on all things Speculoos related. They were all forever tainted. Speculoos would have to do something pretty amazing to win me back.
Something like…
Well played Speculoos… well played.
As soon as I heard about Ben & Jerry’s Speculoos Ice Cream I knew that my time free of Speculoos’ control was over. There was no point trying to avoid what I knew to be true; I had to try it. It seems that I was not the only one to reach this conclusion either. The entire population of Holland has been feverishly buying the stuff too. It took me two weeks to find a shop where it was not completely sold out. I even had to enlist the help of other people in my search. It was my wife who eventually tracked it down and presented me with a tub. She might be regretting this now though because (a) I didn’t let her have any and (b) I am once again addicted to the amazing taste that is Speculoos. The trauma of the speculooskroket has been forgotten. Long live Speculoos
<3 Ben & Jerry's!
Me too :)
Heh. What’s really going to throw you completely off the wagon:

This will make you laugh. One of the photos that showed up in that image search is mine from when I tried it :p
Ha! Lol!
Oh wow. Speculoos ice cream? That sounds divine!
It is which is not good :)
It’s quite easy, eat…or attempt to…another kroket and it will put you off again!
On another note I am dying to try this stuff but avoid the freezer isle!
Thank good Febo no longer makes them.
The real danger of becomming a speculoos-expert? Manufacturers might find out and start sending you new products to try. What can they think of next?
I’m conflicted. That could be amazing but it would also be very bad.
I have to try this! (It will never beat cookie dough, obviously, but worth a bash!)
Cookie dough is amazing. Of course I do now have to re-evaluate my favourite Ben and Jerry’s.
I must start looking in Sainsburys. Mind you cornetto have just brought out a peanut butter cornetto and I can’t even find those.
You introduced me to Speculoos some time ago and I couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. Then a few weeks ago I wanted something different to go on my crumpets and I found a jar of Speculoos in the cupboard, now I am hooked.
It creeps up on you like that.
No joke: a friend back in Miami makes her own ice creams. I suggested that she create a speculoos-based one and called it “Belgian Addiction.”
It has become her most popular flavor. :P
You realize that by telling me this I might have to go to Miami now.
If your addictio-er, fervent dedication is that strong, then yes. Yes, you do.
On the plus side, you can justify eating so much ice cream because of the hot weather over there. :P
Well Stu, I went to sainsburys yesterday and ,yes they had Speculoos ice cream and believe it or not the peanut butter corneto.Perfect.
