Original Note:
The Antwerp hands are cookies and chocolates that have nothing to do with colonial history. The name Antwerp comes from “hand throw”, it refers to a folk tale where a soldier cut of the hand of the giant Antigoon and threw it in the Scheldt river. https://www.antwerpse-handjes.be/betekenis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvius_Brabo https://historiek.net/silvius-brabo-druon-antigoon/80323/#:~:text=Het%20personage%20Silvius%20Brabo%20is,tot%20het%20stadssymbool%20van%20Antwerpen.
