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.

This delight is on special in Sainsbury's at the moment and I have resisted it for the past 3 weeks and after reading this thread I shall continue to resist as I know I will eat the whole jar myself, from a spoon!

We got it to brighten up ds' dairy and egg free diet but it is especially loved by me (on warm banana loaf) we make pretend dairy free banoffee pudding (banana cake, dairy free icecream, lotus spread)

Oh god! Spread with bits of Dime bar? I need to get to ikea.

I sometimes think it's the only thing that stops my vegan DS from fading away. I can't believe how fast he goes through a jar of it! He prefers smooth but isn't very discriminating about it!

I put it on oatcakes thereby rendering it calorie free ;)

i have got through 2 jars in two weeks! Its yummy on rice cakes thus also rendering it a health food!!!

It's lovely I've been buying it for weeks (and eating a jar a week) its so nice on thick granary bread with salted butter.

Ooohh, we bought this the other day for the first time, it didn't last long in this house either! Has anybody tried the crunchy one? FYI, it's delicious on toast with sliced banana on top.

Oh my flipping god, you can get it in this country? I've had a jar bought in France last summer which we opened on pancake day (on pancakes with bananas and golden syrup btw, actual heaven in your mouth) and we've had to ration it! Right, off to Sainsburys...

We've been bringing this back from French holidays for years. Where it's called speculoos. The smooth or crunchy is down to personal taste.

A favourite on pancakes in this house. But have also been used in cupcakes and buttercream toppings. Yum.

In France you can also get a biscuit sprinkle - on ice cream it's yummy. Have also seen cereals and hot drinks but not tried those.....

Like others the jar mysteriously goes down so I think we have a fairy in the house who digs in with a spoon!

As a proud Belgian I feel a desperate need to point out that this delicious stuff is in fact Belgian. Lotus is the original and any other brands making it are copies . The speculoos/speculaas biscuits are of course traditional for both Belgium and Holland, where the biscuits on bread were enjoyed as breakfast ;)
Love the stuff and I'm so glad I don't need to import it anymore. I'm in the smooth camp, ds in the crunchy. I do the shopping - smooth wins

Jeez. I have only just 'discovered' the biscuits. Don't tell me I have to buy a (probably very calorific jar of the stuff now? Looks down at stomach and cries).

I went to Belgium just before Xmas. I picked up a bag of lotus sweets. Think maltesers but the filling is that biscuit stuff. Mmmmmm. I failed to tell the family about them just kept them in my bedside drawer and scoffed them when no one was looking!

I cant even have it in the house....

In fact, I cant even go in a supermarket that stocks it anymore

One jar and Im addicted. Its caramel biscuit crack heaven, finished the jar before evening fell and spent the next day glowering at children who were asking "where is that nice biscuit spread you bought us, mum?"

That stuff is heaven on a spoon, could easily eat half a jar & then feel dreadfully sick afterwards

Suffering from nutella and peanut butter on rice cake induced nausea as we speak. I CANNOT like any more spreads...

Living in Brussels, it's really easy for me to get both the biscuits and the spread but despite having a fairly sweet tooth, I don't like either of them. Have to take them over to the UK for friends who no longer live here though. Those and stroopwafels. And chocolate. Oh and beer.

Contains Palm oil apparently. Doesn't anyone care?!

Did you know you can get speculoos biscuits with chocolate on them? Double whammy!

stroopwafels.....yum

Half a jar in 2 days - thats why I am not going to buy it!!!

Dug out the scrappings I had left from a jar I bought a fortnight ago, delish and all but now feeling very green, that will teach me. When will I learn

crack spread is dreadful strap line !I'd rethink pushing that!it's not funny and it's dire
Crack spread?as in arse cheeks?spread it on yer bahookie
Or is it attempt at innit humour,crack as in illicit drug,oh must score some factory produced sugar spread

I get it's a marketing push,and mn has tested it.so now has to whip folk into a state of interest to encourage sales

But really mnhq,does anyone need serving suggestions about a spread
Hey kids, don't put it in your ear?
No it's mums crack spread....

I can't believe this - we bought a jar because we like the biscuits, one spoonful each and straight into the bin never to be bought again, its even worse tasting than Nutella.

I agree this is a yummy spread to be used with caution!

I found a crepe recipe/pancake cake recipe where they had used this and cream as layers it looked gorgeous!

My H uses it on toast with that spray cream for supper!
