Oh no question, biscoff is yours, I will give you that any day of the week (and then ask if I could have one, of course). Even speculoos is pretty much Belgian. But speculaas... come on author, you clearly did _some_ research, why get this wrong?

The nomenclature is quite loose. Speculaas and speculoos will be used interchangeably in parts of Belgium. "Spéculoos" will refer to both in the french-speaking part, while I anecdotally noticed Flemish people will use "speculaas" even for biscoffs.

That's why I only eat kruidnoten, less of a linguistic quagmire.
