Muchas gracias por toda tu ayuda y todas las correcciones!! Very sweet of you, for sure Sinterklaas will be giving you good presents this year It seems I have made some unnecessarily complex constructions with verbs.. And also it's the eternal confusion with ser and estar por supuesto.. As for 'Pfeffernüsse' (I think they are called) well they are quite nice but indeed need to be fresh, like all good things in life. In Holland they sell lots of varieties including chocolate coated ones (hmmmmmm :-))) and ones with truffle (chocolate truffel not the mushroom kind obviously ) and caramelcoated ones as well... I assure you they are good... :-))) As for Weihnachtsstoll I think you mean (we call them kerststol in Dutch) , they are usually served with christmas but yes also eaten this time of year. It's a specific kind of bread heavily filled with raisins, almond /marsipan mix and many times also nuts (like wallnuts) and rum (the expensive ones anyway) and coated with powder sugar.. They are very rich and very good imho... In Holland around Christmas another very popular treat is the 'tulband' i.e. turban, a cake in the shape of a turban with nuts in it and powdered sugar on top.. Also quite delicious imho Just one more question I have, I hope you don't mind? :-) Quote:
