Yeah I do make my own blend of speculaas spices but it’s quite a lot of work gif

I’m curious tho, what do Belgians call speculaas? Almost every English recipe says speculoos is the Belgian name of speculaas while it’s really a different blend of spices.

I hate to be the one who goes against you all, but I can't stand Brussels. They're so bitter to me. Also I can't stand onions unless they've been fried a lot, there's a strange after taste they have. Interestingly after covid it got worse, and some other veggies and fruits also give this strange aftertaste.

This is interesting because I've heard people in the U.S. call this food (the hot dog/sausage in dough kind of recipe) "pigs in a blanket," but I also grew up with my parents calling meat wrapped in cabbage "pigs in a blanket." (Mom made both mini meat loaves and pork, all cooked in sauerkraut.) We made it every New Year's and I was under the impression that recipe came from my German side, but to be honest, we're pretty disconnected from all of that and I may have it wrong. Now I'm going to have to research that dish...
