FOOD FOOD FOOD

Creating post #2 now because Ive done quite a few since Ive been here in Belgium. Ive eaten different kinds of foods, ventured off to different places and just really want to share my 4 days of Belgian experiences. lol. I guess I'll start with food. & Im not sure about you all but I definitely LOVE to eat. Im a picky eater but I love to eat !

BELGIAN FOOD #1 - WAFFLES 


These waffles were in our apartment along with other food items to start us off. These are the greatest things ever invented. Like Eggos has nothing on Belgian waffles.  Its something about these that make me never want to eat a different kind of waffle again.  Like dont get me wrong Eggos waffles are good, but Belgian waffles are like Heaven! These waffles are sweet and perfect, Heaven wrapped in a little plastic wrapper. Something definitely worth trying ! 

Belgian Food #2 - Coffee


The Belgian coffee.  This is from a little restaurant near the Parliament buildings called Coco.  Along with the coffee you are given sugar (suker), some coffee creamers and a Belgian speculoos (a really amazing graham cracker tasting cookie).  The Belgian coffee seems to taste a lot stronger than American coffee but it definitely keeps you up.  According to our EPA director, this 1 cup of  Belgian coffee is like 2 cups of coffee.  Lately all Ive wanted to drink is coffee because its that good ! and these little cookies are to die for ! 

Belgian Food #3 - Lasagna


This little meal was about 11 euros and even though it was a little on the pricey side, it was amazing in taste.  I got this from a little Irish restaurant/pub off of Place Flagey which is just a little square surrounded by restaurants and pubs, etc. This was a beef lasagna with bread and salad.  So worth it ! Id definitely have this again !

Belgian Food #4 - Petit Belge, White Chocolate Ice Cream with Speculoos Biscuit and Hot Chocolate


This is the most amazing ice cream I have ever had.  Forget your Baskin Robins and Ben and Jerrys, Belgian Ice Cream is the most amazing ice cream on the planet ! This ice cream is topped with scrapings of Belgian white chocolate, the speculoos cookie like served with the coffee and some hot chocolate fudge to put on top of the white chocolate scrapings. I hope they have this in heaven ! lol.

Thats all for now with food.  Keep posted for my traveling adventures!
