Expert Tip. According to legend, a giant once lived on the banks of the river Scheldt, demanding a toll from all who passed. Those who refused to pay had a hand cut off. A Roman soldier eventually killed the giant and removed his hand. Today, hand shaped biscuits and chocolates commemorate the event.
