Original Note:

If they refused to pay, the giant mercilessly chopped off a hand. https://www.amazingbelgium.be/2020/02/the-story-behind-antwerp-hands.html https://www.foodbelgium.com/en/antwerpse-handjes-biscuits https://www.chocolateonlineshop.com/en/brands/antwerpse-handjes/ https://www.sjokolat.be/en/antwerp-hands/ https://mas.be/en/content/antwerp-hand-biscuits-brabo-and-holocaust https://www.tasteatlas.com/antwerpse-handjes https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2023/04/12/fact-check-false-claims-about-antwerp-hand-biscuits-and-belgium/
