Then there are the special Oudewater cookies called ‘Geelbuikjes’. The name ‘Yellow Bellies’ is of course referring to the history that Oudewater has with rope. In the Rope Museum you can hear and see why the inhabitants of Oudewater were called ‘Geelbuiken’.

Even if you are not a ‘Yellow Belly’ you are invited to come taste the Geelbuikjes at Bakery Stijnman.
