@Lolita: So many people dressed in black gothic-esque clothing there. Or is it Finns' national heritage to wear black. :)
 
Black is sexy. :)

Stroopwafel (Syrup waffle)

The history of the Stroopwafel goes back until 1784. A baker from Gouda baked a waffle of old crumbs and spices and filled this waffle with syrup. The Stroopwafel was born. In fact the Stroopwafel was a rest product. And therefor a popular pastry among the poor.
During 1784 the Stroopwafel was only known in Gouda. Nowadays every bakery in Gouda has its own recipe.
Syrup waffle recipes are generally guarded secrets that are passed down from parent to child, generation after generation. Good recipes are very difficult to find and even if a good recipe is found, then there is a tremendous amount of specialized equipment needed to bake a proper Stroopwafel. (in one word, stroopwafel.)

The receipe can be found on http://www.thehollandring.com/food/food-stroopwafel.htm
