Brussels, Belgium: Foodtrip galore
Belgium is world-famous for its sinful gastronomy, a huge disregard for healthy eating and fitness.
You can get diabetes from its plethora of Belgian chocolates (they compete with the Swiss with who indeed has the best chocolates on Earth).
You gain higher cholesterol levels by burying your mouth on the sea of Belgian fries. After a few mouthfuls, you curse to yourself how magically sumptuous it is yet you just felt you’ve shortened your life span by 5 years.
You acquire an increased amount of calories with Belgian waffles. It seems so wrong to say this, but eating the said waffles will make you have a gastronomical orgasm. My friends moaned (I know, sounds so wrong) with every bite of this delicacy.
It was a shame that we have not eaten the famed Belgian mussels; we were too full that our stomachs willfully rejected every food intake.
Brussels, where the European Union headquarters is located, is a melting pot of all nationalities. We thrive in specialty food authenticity, hence the travel was worth it — even if it means carrying kilos of chocolates back to France despite the storm. By those moments, I can literally say we have undergone “death by chocolates” but my friends told me to fight — to not waste the 8-hour travel by giving in to my exhaustion.
A sociocultural examination of the world. Or maybe it's just a traditional blog where I can record travel experiences because it would be shame to forget them.
