day two exploring what is quickly becoming one of our favorite cities in the world and
we're going to go eat everything we possibly can we've come up with a list of five things
waffles, fries, some weird sandwich, chocolate and Belgian beer
so our first stop of the day is the waffle factory, Belgian waffles but apparently at an
affordable price and it wasn't too bad we got two types the brussels waffle we just got all
the sweet stuff on top we've got strawberries and caramel flakes and Belgian chocolate sauce on it
looks amazing and then we've got the leige waffle so the liege waffle was made because a prince of
some area called liege asked his cook to come up with a sweet pastry because he had a sweet tooth
this is what they came up with it's normally in an oval shape and it has no toppings on
top waffles are one of my favorite foods in the world so i'm super excited about it
it's so good it's really saccharine and sweet but still like a perfect waffle
like nice and light and fluffy those like crystallized sugar cubes in the
middle add like this little crunch and a pop of massive sugar so good
strawberry and chocolate combo really really good on the waffle i think leige is better
it's amazing because it's strawberries and chocolate we just asked lady downstairs what
was the most popular and this is what we got i can see why it's popular because it's super
sweet but you have some strawberries so you feel like you're balancing it out a little
bit i kind of agree though the liege takes the cake for me this is amazing but it feels
more like a dessert whereas the leash waffle is like a perfect balance of sweetness and pastry
those waffles were amazing definitely going to get
a Leige waffle again and now onto the second thing fries
and so many chips we have come to Fritland because we've heard it is the best chips in brussels
they look really crispy and they give you a massive amount and we
have some samurai sauce because it kind of looks like chipotle mayo which we love
it's so crispy and oily i mean it's just a really amazing potato chip i don't know what else to say
my fun fact about French fries is that they're not actually French fries when
the US came over for a war or something they sort of got confused because everyone
speaks French here called them French fries but really they're Belgian fries
he kind of looks like he's dressed up as paddington bear just because
of the colors of the outfit i don't really know why the sheep involved it's so cute
that's the one that's the lucky one
so apparently this is a meal that's very popular with students and i can already see why it
seems like something that would be really good after you drank a lot or before you drank a lot
picnic in the square with a beast of a sandwich so it's called a mitraillette and that literally
translates to English as a submachine gun apparently it's because the baguette looks like a
gun and the fries of the bullets i don't know it's a lot of food
we probably didn't pick the best place to eat this but we're here now and it's probably going
to take too much effort to move so we're going to sit here and finish this i have no idea how you
meant to eat this because it's massive it's this toasted burger bun with a massive amount of sauce
two hamburger patties and like a family size serving of chips how are you meant to eat it
it's messy but it's really good
we got one to share and we are tapping out in defeat because that is
way too much food for one day and we need to keep room for beers and chocolate
this looks like a chocolate box
container does that make sense like a really fancy chocolate box container you'd get at Christmas
have a nice day
so we found a little chocolate shop that sells them by weight because we're way too full we
didn't want to get an entire box and waste it plus it's super expensive and this was like two euro
that's really good chocolate that's all i have to say
oh it's like a bit powdery more powdery than i thought it would be like a melted chocolate ball
and then dusted in cocoa powder it's messy though am i finishing this
i can if you want me to Belgium chocolate Check, beer
time?
We've come to an irish pub in belgium two places that know their beers
really well and i got a traditional Belgian beer the one that they had on
tap apparently it's like a foster's back home some guy was telling us
tastes like a beer i got one that was recommended by a fellow that
was sitting at the bar apparently it's nine percent see what it's like we were
going to get the flight of 10 beers but it was like 25 euros so we came here instead
apparently everyone here loves kpop and they're just dancing
to different k-pop songs and they all know the dances it's insane
