>>> Saint Nicholas himself, or one of his helpers. A young man used to give his beloved a heart made of marzipan or a suitor made of klaaskoek, but if he gave taaitaaikoek it was not appreciated by his beloved. Taaitaai was thus not high on the list of delicacies.

Taaitaai and taaiwiven (women) are also consumed during Saint Piter. #taaitaai #dutch #baking #saint #nicholas #nikolaas
