>From my Dutch friend......
<< Dear Phillippa,
Oh boy, now you ask me something: "sulte". I have not the faintest idea, it
does not ring a single bell. Maybe you can be a bit more explicite (for
instance what is it used for?). Maybe you mean "sukade" which is used in the
famous Dutch Christmas and Easter-stols (a luxuary bread). As I have no
dictionary with me at the moment I have to find the English translation for
it tonight. But sukade is sure very sweet and it consists also from sugar.
As far as the apther words are concerned:
Potsuiker: I guess you mean "poedersuiker", which is powdered sugar, which
is used for decorating pastry or pancakes.
Meelsuiker: meel is another word for flour and suiker means sugar. So maybe
it has something to do with sugar that is added to flour, but this is a wild
guess...
Broodsuiker: brood is the Dutch name for bread and suiker is sugar. So if
maybe this is the sugar that can be added in bread.
I am sorry that I can't be of more help, but this is everything that I can
think of.
Hugs,
Marijke >>
