Oliebollen somewhat resemble donuts without a hole.
Appelflappen (apple turnovers) are very popular too.

I bought some yesterday in Paris.
But "washed down with champagne"?
It seems like a terrible waste of champagne.
Or apple turnovers.

Yes, it is. Fortunately, most people buy cheap champagne or some other bubbly/fizzy wine.ChrisGreaves wrote:It seems like a terrible waste of champagne.
