      ​@everydayimeating3407 If you want to find the best place to have coffee and cake.I would recommend doing a video in Vienna, which I just got back from recently. They have these old traditional coffeehouses which date back hundreds of years where all the famous philosophers and intellectuals would meet to drink coffee and discuss ideas. Beautiful city as well and plenty of flights from Manchester.

    How about coming to Wales and trying our famous Welsh-cakes and a traditional Welsh stew called Cawl which goes way back to medieval times! There’s a few cafes/restaurants that serve it in Cardiff if you Google it. Or there’s Welsh rarebit. Or a hearty traditional Welsh breakfast with cockles and lava bread served alongside the bacon and eggs. We also have Glamorgan sausage. It’s a meatless sausage. I know the indoor market has the welsh-cakes. There’s also a Welsh cake shop there. Best to Google first to find out best places to get the cawl or the breakfast tho😊

    just got back from Brussels a few days ago. I got the Eurostar, takes you right into the heart of Brussels and border control is done after security before you board the train so it makes everything smooth when you reach your destination. can also get reasonable fares as long as you’re flexible on what time you’re able to travel. I always enjoy seeing these challenges though, I just couldn’t do it myself 😂

    Am a Londoner and have visited Belgium. Been to Maison Dandoy myself... twice! Tried a Brussels waffle (topped with cooked strawberries and cream) and a liege waffle (I think it had syrup and lotus biscoff crumbs on it) on my 2 visits there. 2 different experiences - the Brussels one is probably better (cause of the light crispyness) and the liege Waffle is the more doughey, cakey and sugary variant.
    But Brussels was not the only place I went ;) Also took day trips via train to Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges but my hotel was in Brussels.

    Something you could try is quick burger. It's a French chain but they actually have one in Brussels airport right next to arrivals. We don't have them in the UK but they are sort of similar to Mc Donalds but also with things like chicken wings (bone in), the quality is incredible for a fast food place even the buns taste like they came from a bakery.

    The suggestion I sent earlier today seems to have vanished! For a closer to home visit, try Manchester's Northern Monk Refectory on Tariff Street for the Cardinal Rule American Biscuit (not what it seems!) menu. I discovered it recently- wow!- and it seems an ideal place for an epicurian like yourself to review. Another site asks "Is this the best sandwich in Manchester" which sounds like the sort of question you like to ask! Quicker than a day trip to Texas!

    Have you ever bought anything at the Duty Free on these international trips?
    All of your food samplings looked great. Especially the Waffle, think it would have tasted great with a tea or coffee.
    Biggest surprise for me was the shuttle bus price. 37 Euros for a half hour journey.
    Glad you had a great day out!
    Will you try Scoused herring next in Holland? Or do you have something closer to home, i.e. Lava Bread in South Wales perhaps?

    Charleroi is miles from Brussels but, in my case, it was an advantage because I wasn't heading towards the city centre. That's one of the advantages of flying with Ryanair. In fact, Charleroi has some very good eating places although my favourite place for chocolate was Bruges.
