Hi all,
As you of course know, stroopwafels are official wikifood. See: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Association_of_Stroopwafel_Addicts
As Dutch we are aware of the shortage of this original typical wikifood in other parts of the world, so we travel around the world with many packages each year at Wikimania and elsewhere. However, it is always more tasty to eat fresh stroopwafels, so the Dutch inspire a lot of people around the world to sell them.
Of course everyone has a high need as Wikipedian/Wikimedian, but as the headquarters of the Wikimedia movement is in San Francisco, the supply is there the most urgent.
Today I learned that Wikimedia people in San Francisco do not have to bit on their teeth or tongue, but can now buy fresh stroopwafels! See: http://www.stroopiegourmet.com/
Finally San Francisco is saved from an anarchy because of a huge shortage of stroopwafels.
I hope that the San Francisco people enjoy the official Wikipedia/Wikimedia wikifood as part of their daily (!) local cuisine!

This is spectacular news Romaine! Thank you for finding it!
BCCing the Wikimedia-sf list so that they see it ;) [though I imagine I'll have to clear it through given BCC]

+1. Roan Kattouw, our official supplier, can finally have a relief. ;-) Before that, we need a true Dutch person to approve Stroopie's originality though.

Never heard of Stroopies, but for those with access to a CostCo store, I have persoally taste-tested their stroopwafels against the true Goudse Stroopwafels and can vouch for them. The ones for sale at Barnes and Noble cafés that are individually wrapped are *not* the real thing, however, though tasty in their way. Jane (Cookie expert)

And it seems they are even freshly made - better than what Roan can provide you with (sorry Roan, but usually we indeed provide a second grade product..), but you actually have to /go/ there to get them.
By the way, guess where they are linking for the pronunciation?! That should give you a discount, I'd guess...
