The Brain of Gill

Or, more to the point, I’m a Hagelslag lover.

When I was little, there was a mythical product in my Nanna’s pantry called Frock-to-Hagel. AKA Vruchtenhagel, but I was only little. It was basically sugar sprinkles that you eat on bread or toast and had been brough back from my Ganggang’s (Grandpa’s) trip to Holland before I was born. I’m guessing that no one had checked the Use By date!

Mary heard me mention this one day and has very kindly given me a box of Chocolade Vlokken, which is the chocolate version.

 And so it was, dear blog reader, that on a chilly winter’s evening I haad chocolate on toast for my tea. It’s wrong, but it’s SO SO right.

OM NOM NOM.
