<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 393349, member: 2844&quot;]It is an antique mold, I would say 19th century. I don&#039;t know the word Spiergle, sounds like a German dialect word.</p><p>It could be for speculaas, family size. But it could also be for what we call taaitaai or a taaitaaipop in Dutch.</p><p>Taaitaai is like gingerbread. Taaitaaipoppen are mostly made around st. Nicholas, in december. They are always big and often sold separately:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.banketletters.nl%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F09%2FTaaiTaai-pop-17-cm-1-300x235.jpg&amp;sp=d4c06688e84e73049bec66b422ad6a29" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The word taai means tough. It is pronounced a bit like tie. Gingerbread is not crunchy like speculaas, but has a slightly flexible, tougher texture. So it is tough-tough gingerbread, or taaitaai.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>It tastes slightly different from gingerbread because it has more of the usual Dutch (Indonesian) spices added to the mixture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
