Speculoos
Speculaas or speculoos is a biscuit with origins in the historical region of the Low Countries (modern-day Belgium and the Netherlands). In the Dutch language, producers and vendors of these biscuits usually distinguish between two primary variants: speculaas [speːkyˈlaːs] refers to the more traditional variant, made with a mix of various spices, which is nowadays most popular in the Netherlands; speculoos [speːkyˈloːs] refers to a Belgian variant that omits the traditional spices in favour of caramelized sugar for flavour, and which is nowadays the most common variant in Belgium and worldwide.
