I mean whatever floats YOUR boat is fine but this woman doesn't like cigarettes or cigars.
In the Netherlands, it is a custom at the birth of a baby to eat muisjes on top of rusk--beschuit met muisjes- ; aniseed sprinkles with a sugared and colored outer layer.
As early as the 17th century, the parents of a newborn baby gave away beschuit with a layer of butter and muisjes to the baby's visitors.
This tradition continues today.
Beschuit with Muisjes are given to the baby's visitors at home, and are brought by older siblings to share at school. Also at the workplace of the father and the mother of the baby.
Blue-white muisjes for baby boys, pink muisjes for baby girls .
Orange muisjes were sold for only one week in December 2003, in honour of the birth of future crown princess Catherina-Amalia.
They were also eaten in 1938 at the birth of Queen Beatrix.
Orange is the color of the Dutch royal family, the House of Orange-Nassau.
