Mystery danish candy box.

Small bite-sized sandwiches are called "snittar" in Swedish (from "snitt" which means "cut", but it's not like you ever serve just one so you don't see the singular form used for sandwiches outside dictionaries). "Smörgås" is used for larger sandwiches (usually open, but not necessarily). And yeah, dutch is quite easy to understand if you know enough norwegian/english/danish/swedish/german, and ignore the pronunciation. Some annoying false friends, though (like "klant" for customer, I mean, really? :-)

Snitter is the same in Norway as well (but smörgås in swedish, bastards)! But I think cuts is used mostly for meat slices in english (might be wrong though). The language thing is quite funny. I usually visit friends in Holland about once a year, and after getting over the "G" pronounciation, it's pretty easy to understand. I think of it as a mix between norwegian/english/danish, and perhaps it hints of a sort of co-evolution of the languages of the seafaring nations.

Snitter sounds a bit like the Dutch ‘sneetjes’, which is used to describe small slices of (often) bread (een sneetje brood), so I think honey cuts is a pretty decent translation. And yes, skildpadden (or something), translates to the Dutch “schildpadden” which translates to English as tortoises or turtles. :)

There is no good translation for honningsnitter, maybe something like honey cuts. Heksehyl is withes howl loosely translated. And yes it was tortoises! Giant tortoises at that.

Schildpad (Dutch) translates roughly to shell toad, our word for tortoise or turtle (we don't distinguish).

We're you thinking of lebkuchen?

I've had both salt and pepper liquorice and hated them. Very popular in Finland and Sweden,
