 Gastronomy

You can begin by shrimp croquettes or 'anguille au vert'. This latter is accompanied by a sauce containing aromatic herbs and onions. Unless you prefer seafood with mayonnaise or ham and sausage from the Ardennes. As for the dishes, try waterzooi (this typical preparation consists of cooking the fish or chicken in a vegetable stock). Flemish carbonade (beef stew) is also very popular. It is impossible to get away from chips and mussels, but this mollusc can be prepared in a thousand different ways. Endives called chicory are cooked with ham. If you are staying in the capital, consider Brussel sprouts. And do not forget the waffles! Enjoy the pralines, which are filled chocolates, and can be found all over the country. Beer, a national drink, is drunk during meals and at any time of the day. There are hundreds of different types of it. So, a gueuze, a lambic, a faro or a kriek? If not, ask for mandarin liqueur, Spa elixir, or gin.
