I did better with the lit part of #FoodAndLit #Netherlands as I ran out of time to cook anything. The imported food section of my grocery store did have this peppermint licorice candy which I‘ll review below. Making this post while taking an errand break of this #SaturdayChatterday for coffee, breakfast & some #LitsyLove correspondence.
About the book: I‘ve long been an admirer of Audrey Hepburn & that increased with ⬇️
DebinHawaii …this well-told story of her childhood in the Netherlands & what her family went through during WWII. It was a unique perspective & engrossing, explaining a lot about how that horrible experience shaped Audrey. The author did a lot of research & interviews & it made for a compelling read. This is the third book I read in January that dealt with Nazis & other fascists & I think I need to hold off on the subject the next month or two! 😵💫⬇️ (edited) 3d
DebinHawaii It‘s just too close to home right now! 😳Pairing it with food is a little difficult since the lack of food for Audrey & her family in 1945 led to malnutrition & life-long issues for the actress. The licorice ice I bought is called schoolkrijt or krijtjes & wasn‘t invented until the 1960s. I‘m not a big licorice fan but the peppermint softens the taste. Overall, not bad. I bought cheese too & will try to share it later on. (edited) 3d

BarbaraBB Licorice is so Dutch! The ones you‘ve bought we call “blackboard chalks” and are pretty addicting I think 😀 2d
