Our Belgium Meal
Our Belgium meal was Stoofvlees (Flemish Stew), Pommes Frites (French Fries), Flemish Sautéed Brussels Sprouts and Waffles from Liege. All very good even though the Flemish stew doesn’t look too appetizing in the picture. My favorite part of the meal was the waffles topped with strawberries and whipped topping! Another leftover I will be eating for breakfast! Yum! During our stay in Belgium in 2017 I had a meal similar to what we made for our global meal. We didn’t realize this until we looked through pictures from our trip!
About Belgium
Belgium is made up of a diverse group of people and languages. It borders France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. About 60 percent of the population speaks Dutch and about 40 percent speaks French. The capital city is Brussels, known for Art Deco taverns, Flemish art, Gothic cathedrals, and quaint guild houses. Pictures from our visit in 2017 are below.
Our Belgium Travels
We traveled to Belgium in 2017 as part of a work trip. We stayed in Leuven, home of our dear friend and coworker Jan who gave us a tour of Leuven and Brussels. The castle-like buildings in the town squares were amazing! We stayed at The Forth – Tafelrond, which was originally used as a meeting place for different guilds in the city of Leuven. Below are some of the pictures from our trip.
