OLGMC jup jup same hahahaha

I'm from Spain and we eat chocolate with bread too! It is so nostalgic...

The Mad Hatter Oh, you're going to love this channel...

Leah Laushway Already do!

@@feestfilmer fuck off troll

Well, we know our food, don't we ;)

Top tier Gourmands right along France haha.

Yang Hong me too i understand

I've been living in Belgium for 3 months now. It has been hard to keep the weight under control, best chocolate, best frittes 🍟, best waffles, beer , you name it. My favorite food mashed potatoes with sausage. ❤️ Belgium.

I know all of this so well i'm from belgium

No it's definitly not

@@johanlebacq6683 Yes it is

Indeed i definitly dont eat choco on my bread

That nostalgia...

I hate chocolate on bread

Ellen Block Good question 👍👍👍

Would maybe be a nice idea for a video!

Ellen Block this is a perfect video idea

I really hope she sees this! The question I didn't know I needed an answer to. Would be a great video for sure

Pj

Thanks for appreciating it. 👍 The long ones are always a bear to edit.

Definitely appreciate the work that goes into them!

Miyu Venus Yamazato i

chentaomon that's super interesting to me. i grew up on speculoos, and the first time i tried speculaas, it took me by surprise. i just ascribed it to subtle differences between countries, but now i know the history behind it 😊

chentaomon, some of those spices might had arrived from the Indische 😊

Filbert Dick Cavanugh Huang Yeah, I think most of them did. We had a whole trading company going on focused mainly on that, and exploiting the local population for coffee later on. Lovely.

Thats true, but when you describe it like that it's hard to know what is what. You can see the difference in the fact that speculaas is thick an softer, while speculoos is thin and crunchy. At least that is what they thought me (I'm belgian myself so...)

Sure Our only Colony had no spices at all - what a joke !!! funny guy

+soundlyawake [Nicola Foti] Yep, that's sound 'bout right.

Thanks so much for the support. ❤️

yesss! i was kinda sad knowing the ones she had would probably be super dried out and hard when she actually got them with the time it takes to mail them.

Must say, I'm from Gent and afterwards moved close to the factory where they're produced. Yet still, never really had a lot of them. Once every five years at maximum 😅

@@Vitucadrus I'm from Sint-Niklaas but moved to the UK so I can't have them anymore, so sad.

You got some amazing food there! I want to visit!

a belgian guy ik Antwerpen 👌🏼

@senne desimpel ik ook

@senne desimpel in middelkerke

@Donald J. Trump oei Donald is van België blijkbaar

SingingMyBlue we're a very proud little nation 😄 always trying to perfect the things we love aka food and beer

I am very lucky. 🙏

emmymadeinjapan I'm even luckier for getting a reply from you. Lots of love from Syria. 🌸💙

they are competing with the locally made versions... it's impossible :p . those noses are way better fresh, just like the waffles. (and I must agree, a waffle from brussels is much better, but kind of like comparing apples with oranges, it's different. the brussels one is not sweet from itself and is mostly eaten with wipped cream or chocolate or actually both, but the one from liege is also often eaten with chocolate... just because we can, i guess) there are all kinds of speculoos. And then there weren't even any chocolate pralines in the package, which is something belgium is famous for (just like the beer... but sending beer would be difficult, allthough the fruitbeers are a great liquid snack ;) and something invented here). Neuhaus still exists and has some ridiculously expensive pralines. (that's why leonidas is more popular with tourists as they are more affordable, but neuhaus is offcourse a lot better.) and that's only the snacks offcourse. our food is equally scrumptious and mostly decadent I guess. french quality with german quantity :p . still... i don't feel like i'm the best person to send some more decadent things from belgium, as I'm a vegan and for many things i'll have to work from memory of 17 years ago. to say you'll just have to visit is a bit of a bummer, as there are so many amazing country's, it's nearly impossible to visit them all just to taste all the different amazing snacks and foods. It's just an amazing concept to have them sent to somebody like emmy, who can share her experience so lovely :) .

One of You she didn't say Christmas??? 😮🤣

You guys are both cute.😀

One of You i thought it was just me😂😂👍🏻

ps- meatballs on your pizza?

😋

Aight, you are welcome. :D

Try the fries,waffles,beer and chocolate you’ll like it!😉

You can live with me bro 😂

@@camillawolf5172 I'll work for you, and you can pay me in chocolate.

@@Mewz123 lol I have chocolate for dayyyyys

I am from Belgium and I have been eating lotus Speculoos since I was 5 years old and I have never heard on the advertising on TV that they are vegan🤔🤔🤔🤨

Haha 1970s not 1070s!! I'm not *that old* 😆😆

Aboard or abroad?

"Sad fact about both Belgian waffles: you need special, heavy, cast iron waffle irons to make them well. " Not really. You just need a good device. Decent waffle irons go for around 100€ and the individual pair of plates 30-60€ depending on the machine. Each type of waffle has a different mold of plates. All waffle irons close from both sides over here. Burning is always an option, that's why we expect the first waffle/pancake to fail so the next one can be timed according to the first one. No batter will be identical each and every time.

Brussel Wafles are supposed to be crisp. These are made with an entirely different batter. This the kind of dough that you mold, by hand, in to balls before putting it on the iron cast. An iron cast with wider squares us needed for these.

🙌

yes i think its the same company :)

yep same company. Im in advertising and grocery merchandising.. done this company's product several times

Yes, they are one in the same. The airline that introduced them to me was Delta. This was many years ago and of course after tasting how good they are, it was my mission to try and find them somewhere so I could buy them. It's a lot easier to find them now, I've seen them in stores in my area.

Michelle D Thats what I thought too! We buy the spread sometimes....terribly addicting! My grown daughter is already addicted to Nutella. She just sits and spoons it up-and don't her catch you even LOOKING at that jar lol!😂

Michelle D I love Biscoff! I buy the little biscuits at the store or when I'm at Pier 39 in San Francisco, there's a small Biscoff shop there! 😊💖

Oh, yes. I've always been fascinated by saponification, but got a little stumped with finding a local source of lye. At one time you could use a brand of drain cleaner, but I haven't had any luck finding it. These days lye can be ordered online but somehow I've never gotten around to it Thanks for reminding me, though, I should do a soap how to video for my other channel -- thanks!

emmymadeinjapan wait, what other channel? !

emmymadeinjapan you could make your own lye from ashes, I think birch and beech wood were the most common in scandinavia before the industrial revolution, while pine/fir tree oil was the most common vegetable fat used.

moonlight blues emmymade, go sub since u asked for it

@@emmymade Yes you can make soap from animals and that includes humans. As proven by the Germans in WWII.

I hate food from belgium .... Bleee

@@biedroneczkakropeczka7977 What is it that you don't like about it then?

@@DJazzHands waffels with sugar , ( this i really dont like ) , all coffe cookies , bread , frietjes , . But its something what i really like ... ( Only thing ) - broodjes. This i really like .

@@biedroneczkakropeczka7977 Alright, everyone has their own taste. I hope you'll be able to enjoy a lot of 'broodjes' then!

@@DJazzHands thank you 🤗😘

Mmm...

Omg. If you love speculoos you have GOT to try that spread (make sure it's crunchy) - deeevine.

Ki Ji Hoon, the Lotus spread was ‘invented’ by a Flemish housewife. She sold the recipe to the Lotus factory and is a very well-off lady now.

Jennifer Goelitz I eat them on Alaska.

Jennifer Goelitz AA serves those as well!

They also serve Dutch stroopwafels on morning domestic and latin America flights. Those are really nice.

many cafés in switzerland serve them with your coffee ☕️

+tascha11 Genau! I mim Lieblings-Café gits die zum Cafi derzue.

My Food Trek Did you do Iran yet? You should. Mmmmm...

gorilla glue not yet! I'm always open to suggestions though. what do you think?

My Food Trek what are you planning on making? if you happen to still be looking for suggestions, i could offer up a few 😄

My Food Trek Make some persian rice & fesenjoon or kebab to go with it. You won't be disappointed. I'm subbing to your channel right now :)

My Food Trek For Sweden, I suggest you try doing a regional desert, like the Cheese cake of Småland, it's completely different from the US cheese cake concept, made from unhomogenized milk, cream, eggs, almonds, bitter almonds, some other ingredients I don't know by heart, baked in an oven in a tall sided metal pan, and served starting with scooping up the servings from the center of the cake for the most important guests and the hosts with whipped cream and strawberry jam. The custom of starting at the center comes from the risk of copper poisoning if the tin liner of the copper pan had any damage. Once steel and other metals took over in the kitchen, that practice of course lost it's practical purpose.

but destrooper doesn,tmake speculoos :p greetz from diksmuide in the deepest of west flanders to :D

Are you referring to the cookies she eats at 11:00 ? Seems like they DID send it. So much for your "rivalry" theory. It would help if you actually decide to sit through the entire video before commenting.

and the first time they are baked in fat just like the second time, and in other countries they bake fries the first time in a (pan?)

They are baked at different temperatures, that's why we bake them twice.

Hi, first of all! French fries don't exist :). The reason they are called "French" is because in WW1 the american soldiers taught they were in France when they ate them for the first time. Originaly they were little fish baked in oil around Liege, but with the introduction of patatoes in Europe and a shortage of fish they started to use patatoes. You want Fries as good as in Belgium? Then follow the next steps ;) 1) Peel patatoes and cut them into fries 2) Rinse them good in water 3)Dry them 4) Bake them in oil on 160° C until most of the steam is gone . In this stage You can easily put them in a plastic bag and freeze them for later use when you have to much of them to serve. 5) Bake them in oil of 180°C until they start to what we call "sing" takes about 2-3 minutes. 6) Bake them a few seconds in oil from 190°C but if you're frier can do 200-220°C you should fry them on the hottest,till they are golden yellow 7) Poor them out in a bowl and shake them good and serve them as fast as you can hahahaha. O btw don't salt them when you shake them but let the people on the table decide if they need salt on them. Bout the beef fat you were right but nowadays most people use special plantoils in Belgium that ressist's heat very well and is better for the health. Smakelijk !

The Anadromous Life yeah, we don't use beef fat, we just use olive oil or sunflower oil or something like that

Never ever use olive oil to fry fries !!!!! They give an awful taste! There are plenty of special fry-oils that are made from mixed vegetable oils. Also much done in Belgium is to fry them the first time in beeffat for the taste and the last time in vegetable oil. That way of frying them is used in the best *** restaurant in Belgium ;)

angelnia86 its gent not ghent

Het Puppy Huis - Puppy Parodies In engels is het Ghent. :)
