Photos of Europe

I don't know why, but when I think of Belgium I think of BEER!  Not just any beer, but damn good beer :-)  I'm not sure if this place had 250 beers but it had a great selection.  Brussels was a very interesting trip indeed.  I think it is one of the places out of all of the places that I have visited in Europe that is hardest to figure out.  A strange and intriguing place indeed.  Maybe the answer lies in the BEER!

Belgian waffles or as I discovered in Brussels that they are also called Brussels waffles. There's a reason why these are so famous!  They are delicious!

The Belgian waffles, or Brussels waffle, is prepared with a yeast-leavened batter. It is generally, but not always, lighter, thicker, and crispier and has larger pockets compared to other waffle varieties. In Belgium, it is served warm by street vendors, dusted with confectioner's sugar, and sometimes topped with whipped cream or chocolate spread. In America, it is served in the same ways the American waffle is served. Belgian waffles were introduced to America by restaurateur Maurice Vermersch, who sold his Brussels waffles under the name "Bel-Gem Waffles" at New York's 1964 World's Fair.
