Sounds okay, but "stroop" is English syrup?

 

Is it a Dutch treat or a Danish treat?

 

A stroopwafel is a wafer cookie made from two thin layers of baked dough joined by a caramel filling. First made in the Dutch city of Gouda, stroopwafels are popular throughout the Netherlands and the former Dutch Empire and are well-known Dutch dishes. Wikipedia

 

Die Deterioration

 

Thanks "Dutch".
As an aside, my Uncle was nicknamed "Dutch" and none of my relatives know the reason. Go figure.

 

Why was Ronald Reagan's nickname Dutch?
Reagan's father nicknamed his son "Dutch", due to his "fat little Dutchman" appearance and Dutch-boy haircut; the nickname stuck with him throughout his youth.
Taken from Wikipedia

 

My Dad gave me the nickname, as his parents were English and probably remembered the sories of the "dirty old dutch". But my shortened name from Lawrence was "Lawrie" and when I moved to Houston as a skinny 15 year-old, I figured that "Dutch"was a better name, and would have kept "Lawrie" from getting his ass kicked every day, since it was pretty much a girls' name.

Dutch

 

It is a dutch treat. From Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Not Danish.

Yes, stroop means syrup and syrup means stroop.

Oops and double oops! My itinerary has been changed. It now reads, visit Belgium and the Netherlands. Was the latter name a derivation of the nether regions or coalesced lands?

 

Now, I don't know just what was recovered from the sea to create the Netherlands.

 

Within the Holy Roman Empire, the word Netherlands was used to describe people from the low-lying (nether) region (land). The term was so widely used that when they became a formal, separate country in 1815, they became the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

 

Sounds perfect to me.

 

I added Denmark and Austria back to my itinerary because I want to taste

So, you are saying my theory, as posted above, is correct? Well chalk one up for the 'old timers' and speculation. Works for me.
