      @@ThierryWasserman It's not about which one did it first, it's about which one the Americans eat. Americans eat FRENCH fries (cooked and served the way the French do it) because they learned about them in France (which is where most the soldiers were in WWII, also where are the USA expats had been living prior to WWII).

      French in french fries refers to the cooking term, not the country. That's why it's written with a lower case "f". So saying french fries doesn't refer that they're French. And even if the origin is France, Belgians have mastered how to make the best fries.

      I'm not dissing your memories, but the Seattle world Fair was almost 60 years ago. 10 years later, it still would of been a big thing in Seattle history and speak (of the day), so maybe as a ten year old this became an infused memory of some wonderful waffles whilst your parents (or grandparents) were talking about the 1962 World Expo in Seattle.
      Then again, maybe you meant to type 60 years instead of 50 years and all my comment was just waffle!!!!

      @@cookiefavors Hi Irina, this specific pastry is called an 'alcazar'. It's a Spanish word for fortress. So this pastry dates back to the 16th century when the low countries (nowadays Belgium and Holland) were under Spanish rule. The pastry looks like a fortress, hence probably the name. This specific old bakery uses pineapple because that must have been an extremely strange fruit for us back then. So just to keep up the tradition. But I think you could also make it with any other fruit you like. It's basically frangipane with a fruit. Just Google alcazar + cake or alcazar + gebakje and look at the pics and recipes that will appear. Have fun.

      Actually what he says about the 'frieten' isn't extremely accurate XD He didn't get French fries, those are much smaller; those soggy McD stuff, that's French fries; what he got were Flemish flies, which are typically much thicker. If I eat fries, I always take Flemish, nice crunchy, full of flavor.... once you had that, you'd never want to go back to that bag of misery that McD calls French fries XD Ironically we here in the Netherlands have sauce for the fries called 'American sauce' that isn't American at all, rather Dutch. But the first company to come with that is McD, hence the name American sauce. Also very unique to the Netherlands. McD doesn't have American sauce in America XD

    Dear, oh dear, oh dear!! Having lived n Belgium for many years, I can attest to the fact that there is no place in the world with food as good as there is in Brussels and Antwerp (and I say that as someone who lives in France now, no less). I can't believe that Paul has never visited before. The grub in Flanders is way out there - better than in France. Brussels also has an utter ton of brilliant eateries. The secret? Simple.. Under Belgian law, you are not allowed to open a restaurant without at least one of the owners being a qualified chef. The result is that over the many years I lived there and ate out ALL the time, I NEVER - and I mean "never" had a bad or even mediocre meal - even in the simplest of cafes. Go and enjoy!!

    and often underrated. Antwerp is fascinating in many aspects “ French fries “ being one of them.
    I would rather call them “ pomme frite “. In any aspect of manufacturing, art, etc. it is full of details.

      That stew is pretty much our national dish (with double fried fries!). Very easy to make yourself and the Wagyu is absolutely not necessary (and a waste imo). Just use meat from the shoulder/back of the cow. It's tough, so just let it simmer for 3-4 hours until it becomes tender. That's the whole point of a stew.

      Getting some carby items once in a while isn't the end of the world of course, but I like to not be ruled by cravings either so one thing I do that works for me is than when I have a craving for something high carb is that I write the name of the food down in a little notebook I bought specifically for the purpose. That way the craving can leave my head as it's safely on paper. And when I allow myself to have some high carb item and don't know what to make or buy I can open that little notebook to see what I'm in the mood for.
