Another Dutch tradition is the Abraham any male, who is fifty, gets, and a female gets a Sarah. An Abraham is a big piece of pastry in the shape of a doll decorated with almonds and cherries. Last week, when I was having my birthday, we celebrated my son-in-law's fiftieth birthday at the same time and gave him the Abraham you see here.

Happy Birthday to you both...
Beautiful tradition. Happy birthday Wil. Better late (the wishes) than never.
What a wonderful tradition! REALLY cool.
What an interesting tradition. Do you have a recipe for these speculaas?
What an interesting tradition! and I agree, they're even more so when they taste good! Thank you for the photo and the history!
This was fascinating and a belated birthday wishes I see.
That is one nice tradition. An Abraham or Sarah is something to look forward to getting when coming of "age".
Wil: What a neat tradition with the pastry. I wonder how being 50 came about, half a century?
Sounds very tasty and a grand tradition too.
That sounds like such a neat tradition. Thanks for sharing and Happy belated 75th Birthday Reader Wil!!!
I'm learning all kinds of new things out here in the blogger world.
What a neat tradition and it sure looks good to eat as well!
Sounds like a wonderful tradition. I doubt your daughters are old enough yet to receive a Sarah. Do they look different then the Abraham?
Happy belated Birthday, Reader-Wil!
Nice read on the tradition and wishes to the new Abraham!
Wow! That is cool!
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY! The flowers are beautiful!
wow! what an interesting facts!

I like that tradition, ... and have never heard of it. Thanks for sharing.
That's a custom I didn't know - is it as yummy to eat as it is pretty in the box?
Love that tradition i can almost taste it
What a nice tradition for ones
50th. I thought it was a wood carving. It looks too good to eat.
Leuke traditie. We kennen wel de traditie in België, ikzelf werd Abraham enkele maanden geleden maar deze speculoos poppen hebben we niet bij ons in Vlaanderen.
Very interesting tradition. I'm not quite ready for my Sarah but my birthday is in a few days so it's getting closer and closer to that 5-0 mark. ugh!
Happy birthday and Christmas! Yummy tradition!
Nice tradition, I have never heard of that. And it looks really tasty :)
Uh - Lebkuchen! Wunderbar! :)
