Oliebollen somewhat resemble donuts without a hole.

Appelflappen (apple turnovers) are very popular too.

Surely.
I bought some yesterday in Paris.

But "washed down with champagne"?
It seems like a terrible waste of champagne.
Or apple turnovers.

It seems like a terrible waste of champagne.

Yes, it is. Fortunately, most people buy cheap champagne or some other bubbly/fizzy wine.
But of course, some people insist on buying the best and most expensive champagne, then deaden their taste by eating fried dough balls...

with champagne?

I hope that we all survived last night.
I suppose that some of us won't be partaking until later in the afternoon ... (smirk!)

Yeah, it's afternoon and my fried breakfast and 3 aspirins has settled the aftershock quite nicely.
