Comments on: The Dutch Shop, Smithfield & How The Carrot Got Its Orange Colour http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/09/11/the-dutch-shop-smithfield-how-the-carrot-got-its-orange-colour/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I recently discovered this carrot color history, researching purple sweet potatoes that I found this year. I guess purple didn't look too appetizing back then, but now we love it. BTW, purple carrots are making a comeback. My blog is back. Hooray.

Incidentally Coles had an entire Dutch section devoted to mainly sweet treats. So I have just had my first stroopwaffel and I am in heaven!!! Off to get a cup of Lady Grey tea and dip another I think.... I remembered this post today when I was in Coles of all places and came face to face with stroopwaffels!

Thank you for this post! I live near Smithfield and NEVER knew of this existing before! I have friends from Holland and not long ago I visited them. Since I've been back I've missed some of the things I've experienced with them ESPECIALLY STROOPWAFFELS! When we were in Rotterdam we found massive stroopwaffels (they were the size of our face) for only 1 EURO! So awesome! I'm sooo visiting this place! Cheers! OMG OMG OMG! Thank you for this post!
