Hi Jim,
I suppose that "tweebak" used to be known in Flanders, because their is
an old traditional flemish song from Duinkerke (France).
It is called "Al die willen te kap'ren varen"
Those are a few words...

Al die willen te kap'ren varen
moeten mannen met baarden zijn.
Jan Pier Tjoris en Korneel
die hebben, baarden, die hebben baarden,
Jan Pier Tjoris en Korneel,
die hebben baarden
zij varen mee.

Al die ranzige tweebak lusten moeten mannen met baarden zijn.
Jan Pier...

So the word "tweebak" was known in Flanders.

Groetjes
