The three things any visitor to Belgium must consume at least once are chocolate, waffles and beer. In that order (well at least for me but i love chocolate). Anywhere you go in Belgium, and particularly Brussels, especially in the touristy places, these three things (and pomme-frites or fries) assault your nose in ways you wouldn't believe. Personally, I've found that the best place to eat a waffle is by the Manneken Pis, in the Grand Place. For two euro, you get a pretty substantial waffle drenched in dark chocolate..... it's amazing. The beer I'm still working on. I'm not a fan yet but seeing as how everyone and their mother tells me Belgian beer is the best, I will take there word on it and keep plowing away (mind you I've only had one thus far of the almost 2000 variations that exist in this country).
So please remember.... when visiting Belgium do not leave without enjoying a chocolate covered waffle with a typical Belgian beer down the streets of Grand Place.... you'll be glad you did. :)
