Subject: Sinterklaas

Hi,

"Sinterklaas" is approaching very fast now in  a vast area of our
Lowland regions. I have a question for any of you who can tell if you
have similar folkore-events in your places.
1 From november just till the sixt of december (not one day later) we
love to eat "mantepeirden" (man on a horse) also known as "klaaskoeken"
or "klaaspeirden". They are made with almost the same paste as a French
"brioche". The pastry is baked in the form of a man  (Sinterklaas /
Wodan ?) on a horse. You have about 2 or 3  "mantepeirden" in one
kilogram. And i know that it is not for sale in Brabant or Limburg,
just in Flanders.

2 At about the same period we also love to eat (!) "Holy Maries",
little statues of Jezus' mother, made of a soft  material (I only know
the French word: guy-mauve). It's for sale in different colours. We eat
that in the same time of the year,  with  sugarcookies, which we call
"piknikken" and "piezewieten"
Does these items or words exist in your region too ?

-On this website you can find the recipe for "sinterklaaskoeken" in
Dutch:
