I have not been doing much of the original topics from the
BEDM challenge so far, because I had other posts or because I had nothing to
write regarding the topic of the day. But since I am living in Europe I thought
it would be nice to do a post about it. Only I thought that it was for today
and not yesterday. So I actually missed it. L But I decided to do a Europe related post
anyway.
One of my favourite things from living in Holland again, would be that I can get my hands on a bag of liquorice much easier .
When I was living in Ireland I really missed liquorice and
when a friend would go to the Netherlands for a holiday I would always ask them
to bring me back some liquorice. I would be sooo happy when I finally got to
eat some liquorice again. I remember once missing it so much that I bought a
little bag of liquorice online for 5 euro and then to find out that they were
soft and salty ones. Those definitely
were not my favourite but I guess it was better than nothing at all.
Dutch liquorice, I have noticed is really something that you
either love or hate. And I am really one of the liquorice lovers. There are a
lot of different ones and a lot of different tastes. But the ones that I like the most are the coins. There are also different brands of liquorice
and the tastes differs so that is the same for Dutch coins. I like the most brands
I think but I like the taste of the Kleene coins and the Venco ones the most.
I also like the taste of the liquorice called “Brussels
manneke’ , liquorice made in the shape
of a little boy like the statue located in Brussels. I have been looking for these for a while and
could not find them anymore. So I was so
excited to see a pack of them in a shop the other day. So I really had to have
them. Ofcourse I finished them in no
time. Those packs are really way too small.
LOL
From my girls, my oldest is the only one who likes liquorice
a little bit and then actually only really the Kleene coins so I also don’t
really have to share them with anyone when I have a pack of them. So they are really my special mommy candies. Wonderful !
Have you ever tasted Dutch liquorice ? Do you like or
dislike them ? Is there any treat that you like which the rest of the house can’t
be bothered with ? Have you been in Holland ? What is one of your favourite things from here ?
I would love to hear from you.
Love.
