Go home Dutch..you've got herring in your cake.

This is a thing.

This is an "alternative to peanut butter".

This is a "cookie spread".

Yes. They crushed up cookies, mixed them with oil to form a spread not unlike peanut butter except in one very important way- it's made from cookies.

My co-workers are from many diverse places- Switzerland, China, Israel, Taiwan, Alabama and Belgium. We are always amazed at how weird we all are but, as always, the Belgians win. I'm always reminded at times like this of Veronica from 'Better off Ted’ and her lightening acumen on the subject of the Dutch.

"I think it's Dutch. It sounds like their stupid handiwork, with their cheese and their giant propeller buildings."

One co-worker saw it at Wal-mart and brought it in for another co-worker who has a peanut allergy. To spread on apples and whatever, celery, I don’t know. Sure she could use almond butter or hazelnut butter or really anything that sounds like it's healthy but why when she could have a spreadable cookie?

My problem is 2 fold:

1. Once they make the Oreo form my husband is done. He will die of diabetes partly because of two.
2. Once you have a peanut butter substitute in hand it is only a short time before you make the sandwich. Once you have let that happen, you have fallen down the slope and are permanently living in sweatpants.
Seriously, cookie spread sandwich will lead to a sandwich and chips. For lunch. For weeks on end.
Then your Wal-mart appropriate clothes become your work appropriate clothes.

Soon you will be making peanut butter cookies and subbing in cookie spread and the world will implode.

I finish with another Veronica word on the Dutch: "I don't hate the Dutch. I love the Dutch. That's why I hold them to a higher standard."
