Our little Dutch girl

So there is this gross Dutch lolly called "double zout" - double salt licorice.  It is completely disgusting.  Basically as soon as anyone gets it in their mouth, they want to spit it out straight away.  (I realise a few members of Stefan's family may disagree with me on that... but I think it is, objectively, a fair description of this revolting lolly.)

Anyway, the other day Stefan decided to feed it to Holly.  I objected, but he insisted, and I figured she'd probably spit it out straight away anyway, so I relented, but had some water close by for her to wash her mouth out with.  He cut a tiny piece off her her (cause even he figured she wouldn't like it)...
and in her mouth it went...
I was close by with the water, ready to cuddle and console her after this ordeal.

BUT... much to my horror... she liked it!
And ate several pieces. Seems we have a real little Dutch girl.
