Stoopel and Poffer are actually the names of @heywoodu‘s parents 

Not really, but my mom has a colleague who's husband is called 'Stoffer' so that kind of fits

Well there's a stand in my city that sells "stoopel and poffer" and according to their site, the owners are Dutch.

Never in my life have I heard of 'stoopel' and googling reveals it's not really anything but a family name  

 

'Poffer' isn't really used as a word, 'poffertjes' is (to make it 'little', not sure how you do that in Spanish but for example I know in Portuguese one would turn poffer into something like pofferzinho so I hope you get what I mean  ). Poffertjes are sort of like little pancakes (like, bite-size, but a bit 'fatter' than a pancake) and are pretty good

I thought that was the name of what they sold... yes, they are very good.

No chance instead of stoopel it says 'stroopwafels'?

You obviously don't know the heavenly hagelslag.

Looks a lot like my dinners . We love Italian and Mediterranean food in my house.

+1 for pasta

 

The olives though, yuck. Garbage.

there were peppers, too...

it was a sausage with small tomatoes ("Pachino" type), yellow peppers and "Taggiasca" olives...

the only difference with that photo, it's the type of pasta (it's called "Cavatappi" -literally, "Corkscrew"- but unfortunately I couldn't find a photo of that type of pasta...it's not that widely popular like others, even if you can find it in all Italian supermarkets)...
