Frites, Waffles, Beer and Chocolate


The big four foods of Belgium are each tempting, depending on your appetite and time of day.


Liege's Sunday market was packed with vendors and shoppers. Just about anything you wanted or needed could be found; clothing, toys, fresh fruits and vegetables, hens (actually I'd love to have a bird or three so I could enjoy a daily egg, sunny side up!) or gourmet cheeses.






Tom's choice of calories was frites! Europeans favor mayo with theirs and eat them with a small fork. Proper folk don't want to get fingers soiled. It is disappointing they don't let go of more than one small, thin napkin. It's embarrassing to wear what you ate all day!
