Who was it that told me us to buy that lotus spread?!

[ArrivedAtPanicStation]

THANKS A LOT.

I've eaten half a car in 2 days!!! I keep going at it with a damn spoon. It is seriously the most delicious thing I think I have ever tasted.

Chunky shhhhh

Defo get it in crunchy. It is delish.

It is lush in a sandwich with bananas!

I bloody luff it. Bought a whole vat in belgium :)

Apparently it was a belgian housewife that invented it, according to the lady that ran the b&b we stayed at in bruges. Speculoos sandwiches are a popular post school snack and she spotted a market.

I love speculoos. Especially crushed and coating sweetbreads as is popular in brussels -drools freely--

The Dutch call it speculaas and I wouldn't be surpried if they claim they invented it too

You can get Lotus ice cream here in Belgium too. Sort of a mix of vanilla, speculoos spread and caramel. With crunchy bits.

Whereabouts do they stock it in the supermarkets? With the chocolate spread and peanut butter etc.? Or with the biscuits? Will go on a scouting mission ASAP!
Thanks

In Sainsbuey it is next to the Nutella, chocolate spreads etc

Thanks Laymizzrarb.

I bought it once, demolised the whole jar in a couple of days and decided it was far too bad for my waistline to ever buy again. Well maybe at Xmas for a treat!

For anyone with a Home Bargains near them, they currently have the Lotus speculoos biscuits (individually wrapped 2 to a pack) 59p for a large pack. Me and the DC's are addicted to them- will be hunting down the spread tomorrow!

I used to import this by the box load from Brussels. We used to go over once a year and it never lasted more than a couple of months. Then I noticed it in Waitrose....

It reminds me of the long biscuity strip that used to be in the Viennetta flavour that came in a blue box (nut flavour?)

Just bought it... our entire house love it!

YES! I just bought the last jar in Waitrose. Yet another thing to thank MN for!

I bought decoy bread for 'Speculoos on toast'. Spoon in jar before the night is out, clearly.

Spread it on custard creams... Oooohhh

Is it nut free?

I just finished my jar, hidden in plain sight in the kitchen cupboard. No one else knows about it so wouldn't notice. This does not work for nutella :-)

I bought some of the crunchy one in Sains this morning for £1.25. I felt a bit sick after trying it though :(

Can't scroll back to see who said about the popping candy choc spread, but they have that at the minute for £1.02 or something daft! It's a firm favourite of my DS!

oh god my nutella habit was bad enough for my waistline, this thread will be the death of me!

Oh no, saw that and resisted because I didn't think id like it. Now I'm going to have to buy some. it's the law
Dd adores that popping candy crack. Her favourite use is in a toasty with Fluff spread.

It is nut free and dairy free!it is now my evening snack of choice. A largest spoon I can find teaspoon, pile it on like a lollipop, and sit in front of the TV munching it!

Oooh this sounds worth taking a trip to the supermarket for tomorrow, but it is as nice as the chocolate spread from Ikea with the little bits of dime bar in it?
I luffs that.

Dairy free too! Gosh, defo going to get one tomorrow.
