Kruidnoten

[Leagle]

I really missed it this year! Along with my drinking buddies -it just isn't the same in Plymouth. (I swear is 1 more person calls me "me luvver!" this week I will flip.)

Luckily my father sent me a couple of bags.

what is it

[Leagle]

It is like papernoten, but nicer. We always used to call it all papernoten.

Small brown biscuity things with some spekelaus spice in it, that gets pelted at high velocity at small children by "zwarte petes".

[HangFire]

So.. "Kruidnoten" is some kind of special event where all the "zwarte petes" throw brownies at kids?

I know I'm taking this completely out of context, but I can't help but laugh at this.

Lol... sounds like.
”Peper nooten en Zwarte pieten ...”
Hmm pretty hilarious explaining this to foreigners.

rofl yeah. I didnt really mis it this year. We are just too busy here at home with other stuff hehe. But sure, we ate them, and they where uber nice

nothing beats our christmas chocolates...

*edit* ah yes. Christmas beer.

[Exilibur]

Christmas beer indeed... as long as it isn't too sweet.

somebody should make a beer topic.

[Cpl. Shrike]

Or just turn this one into beer fest.

I have seen it spelt paper as well as peper. Much nicer than "christmas beer". "Black Peters" do throw things at you, but they aren't brownies -brownies are not biscuity unless the fool baker put concrete in the mixture.
