Hagelslag

"Hagel" means 'hail' in Dutch and is also their word for sprinkles. Now, I'm a big sprinkles person, as anyone that has ever seen me within 10 yards of a Mister Softee can vouch, but I was a little taken aback to discover that, here, they eat it for breakfast. It basically functions like sugary cereal in America.
We went into a supermarket to see just how many brands of hagel there were. Answer: a lot. Some had cartoon characters on the packaging and, I like to imagine, prizes in the box. Kiddie Hagel. Then, there were the classier looking boxes. Adult Hagel.
Of course, at the bottom of the shelves, there was hagel in a bag. Economy Hagel.
The next morning we decided to try some out at the hotel's breakfast buffet. Basically, you just pour it on toast. We played with the idea of using pindakaas (peanut butter, or as it literally translates, peanut cheese) as our binding agent, but opted instead for margarine. That way, we could be sure to taste the hagelslag.

This was Merlin's. He chose to cover half his bread with the traditional cylindrical chocolate ones and the other half with the more daring pink and yellow spherical hagel. Both were really sweet.
This was mine. It came from a box with a dinosaur on it. I thought it would be mint and chocolate and for the first few bites, my eyes deceived my taste buds. Green=mint. Obviously. However, upon further inspection, picking fallen green hagel off my plate with the wetted tip of my finger, I discovered that it basically just tasted like sugar.
P.S. We wanted to find a hagelslag commercial on youtube to post for you all but all I kept getting were Sen. Chuck Hagel interviews.

  1. The adult hagel (the pink and blue thingies) are called muisjes (mice) It is mostly served with beschuit (don't know the English word for it. It is round and kinda toast alike) when a baby is born.

  11. GET YOUR MONEY BACK FROM BITCOIN & CRYPTOCURRENCY SCAMS.

    I advise first-time bitcoin investors to do their research before entrusting any of these Bitcoin investment websites with their hard earned funds. They gain your trust by portraying fake huge profits to convince you to put more funds, till when you invest a substantial sum, they intentionally freeze your account and demand for more payments to have your profits released. I had invested with a bogus company that ripped me off $198000 worth of Crypto, this was close to everything I Had in my savings. special thanks to Captain WebGenesis, whose recovery company put in a lot of effort and made sure I had my money back If you ever find yourself in a similar scenario, you can reach out to Captain WebGenesis through;

  14. Wizard James Recovery offers top-notch crypto recovery technology and professionals to help you retrieve your pilfered funds. An online broker greatly deceived me by promising me 50% profits on my investments. After giving it some thought, I invested almost all of my life savings since, in his opinion, the more I invested, the bigger my profit would be. When the time came for me to receive the return on my investment, I found it difficult to withdraw because the platform I was using to make the transaction had completely crashed and grabbed all of my money. I had lost all hope, was terrified to go to work, and my career was in jeopardy. After reading evaluations from victims, I made the decision to work with a gang of hackers known as Wizard James Recovery. This is how I was helped by Wizard James Recovery to get my Bitcoin back. I think this assessment can also help someone else. For further information, send an email to (wizardjamesrecovery(@)usa. com).

  15. So, even in my advanced years, I have never been informed that fraud occurs in all spheres, including those you would least suspect or those you may have assumed to be the safest. I believed that keeping a portion of my wealth in Bitcoin was the safest option because it allowed me to keep the wallet with the known keys and seed encrypted. This way, at least, my money appreciates as well. It appears that only one piece of malware was needed to remove about $460,000 from my wallet. I was shocked and completely surprised by this! I had given up on everything, including life itself, until I finally reached out to WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY. I had lost hope in everything, even in life. My thoughts would have gone to a very dark place if this guy hadn't reassured me and had the knowledge to recover all of my fortune back. As you might guess, Mr. James completed all of these tasks in just four days. I would never wish such a phoney experience on anyone. If you have unintentionally become a victim, don't worry and get assistance. In case you also require his assistance, I've included his email address below:

  17. You should steer clear of these brokers and account managers at all costs. They stole more than $170,000 of my investment cash, and they continued to demand more money before they would even consider and handle my withdrawal request. Ultimately, my entire investment was lost. Every attempt to get in touch with the customer support team had been turned down. It was really painful and challenging for me to move on. Thankfully, I caught a show explaining how Wizard James Recovery helps victims of scams get their money back. Upon seeking guidance from the provided information, I promptly received a response and was requested to furnish the relevant legal documentation pertaining to my investment. To my complete surprise, I successfully received my money back after promptly adhering to their directions. I said I would not keep this information to myself, but would share it with the public in an effort to assist anyone who has been duped in getting their money back. This is a huge win against this internet con artist. I appreciate all of your hard work on this James. His personal email: wizardjamesrecovery@usa. com.

  18. I've never had any trouble working for my money, but saving and investing with it is always easier said than done. In my situation, the scammers deceived me out of the shares I received from a corporation I invested in for a long time. It took years for me to reach the point where I could claim it, and when I did, these cybercriminals stole it from me. This unexpected loss left me broke, hopeless, miserable, and barely able to survive.These cybercriminals have no idea how difficult their schemes may make our lives when they destroy our finances and cause us to lose everything. I detest evil and those that cheat people because they're never favourable situations to be in. With this financial swindle, it felt as though everything I owned had slipped through my fingers. They would occasionally hide their nefarious schemes until they struck when we least expected. My son, who works with "SECURITAS," vouched for "WIZARD JAMES's Legitimacy" and said that his workplace was secretly collaborating with "WIZARD JAMES" on many cyber threats. WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY and its RECOVERY TEAM will put a stop to that, just as they put an end to mine. WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY TEAM, with whom I had previously collaborated, managed to recover my funds. I have worked with this team, and I felt compelled to use my personal experience to warn as many people as possible and save as many of them.
