caption_attribution_description: English: A 'Zeeuwse bolus' is a sweet baked bread from the Netherlands, a speciality from the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a sweet bread which is covered with caramelised sugar and ground sweet spices, especially cinnamon. A good 'bolus' should still be spongy and elastic even after having been baked. In the province of Zeeland, it is often eaten with (salted Zeeland) butter in the afternoon, together with a cup of coffee. The photo shows one 'bolus' spread with butter, the other still without. The delicacy is, supposedly, of Dutch-Sephardic origin.
context_page_description: A Zeeuwse bolus or Zeeuwse bolussen is a sweet pastry of Jewish origin from the Dutch province of Zeeland and also French. They are made by baking a white bread dough rolled in dark brown sugar in a spiral shape, lemon zest and cinnamon. The shape of a bolus differs between bakers. They are often eaten with coffee, and in some parts of the region the flatter underside is covered with butter.
  There is also another kind of pastry that is sold under the name Bolus or boles in the Netherlands. These are ginger boles, made of dough filled with ginger, and orangeade boles filled with orangeade and almond meal flavoured with orange and almonds. These boles are a golden yellow colour and in a paper form. They have to be eaten with a spoon because the syrup makes them very sticky.
