Are they almond based as many Italian cookies are. <br /><br />When I lived in Luxembourg, there was a tradition there that was similar to Halloween. Can't remember too much of it but I do remember that the kids would come around collecting money. There were usually given small change by the locals. <br /><br />All these traditions that we discover in our temporary (or in your case permanent) new countries are such fun. It is part of the charm of living overseas!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08249874735043959774noreply@blogger.com
