This is the real deal. You can't get more belgian like this(maybe with videe and moulles frites). It's the perfect balance betweem the french and flemish/dutch speaking sides. You had a real treat.
Hey David loved the video. Just a quick heads-up. Combining the foods on your plate is also a big thing here in Belgium. Like you dipped your fries in the gravy. You really should mix the bloodsausage with the apple and the bacon/sausage with the mashed potatos. I dind't see that in the video and wanted you to know that. So, if you ever eat Belgian again, don't miss out on the combinations possible in 1 plate.
Rich stew on a rainy day David. It looks amazing. Beers in all form and style. Not a beer lover, I won't mind taking a sip of a few. Hi Tasos , lovely to see you with David. 💕💕
In 1987 i worked with a Chef from Bruges Belgium and he taught me so much World Culture and refinement that i became educated because of The Belgian Chef Carl Gudereis of Bruge Belgium.
Stew looks awesome tasty......sausage too...raw herrin...don t know if will like...but beers yes of course!!!....knowing the History of a place slways adds value. NICE...Thanks David...Peace. 😅❤❤
Hi Shabana and Hailey. Heard that Denise Plummer died. She is finally without pain and at peace. Anyway, I see you all had a heat wave down there last week. Hope it has cooled down. Haven't spoken to my sister yet. I hope everything is well with you and Hailey. Everything is good up here. Just waiting for cool weather. Take care of yourself and Hailey.🙏💕🇹🇹🇨🇦
Thank you so much Yipmabaruya! I am actually considering a visit to Papua New Guinea sometime in the near future. I'm really glad you enjoyed it! If i wanted to visit Papua New Guinea do you have any advice!? THANK YOU!
@@Davidsbeenhere thank you for responding to my comments. You are most welcome to Papua New Guinea. You will enjoy your visit to Papua New Guinea. Best places to visit in Papua New Guinea is Milney Bay province, Rabaul East New Britain province and Tufi in Oro Province. Other parts of Papua New Guinea is also exciting.
Hey David. So much culture out there. It’s the sausage dish for me. I’m not a big meat eater but give me that stew gravy over rice or potatoes 🙌🏼. Beer is not my thing but it’s a movement. Thanks for sharing.
@@Woudloper I actually feel that the Belgiums, on the Flemish side of things, tend to be more friendly than the Dutch. I've had very mixed experiences with people that were from Bruxelles and further south. But I would agree that Belgium is nicer for food and beers.
Food looks amazing great place to go on cold days for comfort food. Just im sure it is good for some blood sausage could not do. Beer sounds so good would love to try . Place looks awesome to nice vibe going on :) love these kinda places.. Thanks for a yummy adventure. Stay safe have great day ♥
As a French, I love the way I recognize everything in this video (the food, landscapes, accent when they speak english). Everything seems to be similar to me but different in the same time. 😁🇨🇵🤝🇧🇪
@@MorganDeshayes Haha, I'm Dutch and to me it sounds very much like a semi-Dutch accent. But of course I also hear the French influence in the prononciation!
Thank you for not raving about crappy beers or waffles with random toppings but instead having a real conversation about traditional Belgian food and beer culture. Love 't spinnekopke, simple traditional food with good ingredients prepared the right way. Stoemp is not mash though!
I was in the poech yesterday as an " habitué" Local call it the poech ( pronounced pouch). Taras boulba is a season beer and the favorite of my wife. No puppet show there, but yoy can still enjoy it at Toon theatre ( and they also serve beer in a typical athmosphere but not 150😂)
For the French Canadian lady, Brussels native like myself will typically sound extremely close to regular french people, we have a few influences from our flemish brethren in some of our accents and expressions, but since the internet we have been heavily influenced by french medias and french people in general. If I didn't specify I was Belgian most french wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Great video David. I enjoy your work immensely. I think one of the things that sets you apart from a lot of other foodie TH-camrs from your part of the word is that you have seemed to have worked out how to use a knife and fork without looking like an....errrrr....uncultured buffoon. Keep up the excellent work!
lol this guy gets the full flemish experience at the most belgian ever! I almost hung thinking he was 1 of us haha xD yes stewmeat with fries with mayonnaise on the side is a must that you have to do in Belgium.
@@Davidsbeenhere👳I LIKE HOW IN BELGIUM, THEY COOK & SERVE THEIR FRIES HOT STRAIGHT OUT THE GREASE, FRESHLY CUT FRENCH FRIES🍟WITH THE SKIN LEFT ON, LIGHTLY SALTED AND SERVED WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF SAUCES BESIDES JUST TOMATOE KETCHUP & MALT VINEGAR!🍅I LOVE THE MAYO, SWEET HOT MUSTARD AND DIFFERENT KINDA CHEESE SAUCES! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! IT'S NOTHING LIKE THEM COLD FRIES THEY SERVE YOU, HERE IN AMERICA!
that beefstew looked good . but i know my mom makes it better . she makes a true flemish stew . the day after it always tasted 10 times better . she also had a recipe for spaghetti sause that i've never tasted in a restaurant . my grandmother made a mayo that is similat to hellmans but hellmans is like the softy version
For info, sirop de Liège is just reduced apple juice. My Flemish neighbourgs in Courcelles were cooking their own sirop every year from their appletrees.
Bonjour David. Parlez vous francais, non. Eh bien. Food looks okay to me, but this is not food I can enjoy: raw fish, red meat, blood pudding. I used to eat a lot of the black/blood pudding in Trinidad. The potato dish sort of reminds me of the British bubble and squeak. Alcohol and liquor, not for me. At least you and Tasos enjoyed it. Got my email earlier and I see that you are quite busy traveling, so stay safe and take care. 🙏❤️🇹🇹🇨🇦
Thank you so much Judy! So grateful to see you and for your support. Yeah black/blood pudding isn't for everybody thats for sure. Hope you have a peaceful and blessed week and I'm always so thankful to see your comments! THANK YOU!!!
Traditional Belgian and Dutch food...pretty straight forward,pretty boring. I lived in Holland nd love the country,now living in Brussels and i'm a chef. Well Germanic food in general is like this that goes for Scandinavia also and yes i've lived in Sweden too. don't get me wrong there are top class chefs in all these countries,but when it comes to traditional...eh
It's Belgian food, not Belgium food. Belgian is the adjective, Belgium is the noun. After all, you wouldn't say France food or Germany food now would you?
Do your research, Lambiek can only be made in the valley of the Zenne River, how can they make it in the Netherlands? 3 Fonteinen one of the biggest breweries of Lambiek/Geuze in Belgium, you don't know what you are talking about! 3 Fonteinen is nice, but it is not big!
Belgium is one of the coolest countries to visit. The best food and excellent nightlife. Only place to avoid is Brussels, and avoid at all costs. It's horrible. Instead go to the Bruges, Ghent, Hasselt, Ostend or the ardennes.
@@atlas5459 You're probably from Brussels. Because otherwise you would agree that it's a shithole infested with extremists and thugs. Ever been to Schaarbeek? Or heard about the Swedes who got killed? People should avoid Brussels at all costs.
Rubbish! Brussels is not "horrible" or "to avoid at all costs". This sounds like the clichés of most Walloons and Flemings, who know next to nothing about their own capital. Brussel is full of hidden gems - that people like you just don't know about.
You let me feel very proud to be a Belgium citizen
Just ah, fries and mosterd... 😰

@@khaelamensha3624same I love French cuisine and Paris the architecture is just on another level ❤❤❤
This clip was so Belgian. Absolutely loved it. Even the 50hz flickering of the lights ruining people's footage who are filming on 60hz. Classic.

I love belgians/ dutch. that food is heaven for strong men.
The Dutch kitchen is very different to the Belgian one. Belgian kitchen is more like in the north of France.
the dutch have no food culture...just indian style food@@____Ann____
Can't compare the two. For food and beer you need to visit Belgium. For friendly and open people, visit the Netherlands.
@@Ionisus Stroopwafel, stamppot (and the many varieties it has), gerookte worst, poffertjes, oliebollen, limburgse vlaai, kroket, hollandse nieuwe, drop, snert, cheese, Brabantse worstenbroodjes, suikerbrood, bosche bol, gevulde speculaas... Certainly no food culture there. Whether you consider it an intresting food culture, that's something different.

I love this stew (rundstoofvlees), it's insanely good. My favorite meal especially when it's made with Westmalle Dubbel beer
I have to say you did it the right way. Can't make me feel more like home with these dishes.
Good afternoon David another big video 🙏❤️

Bonjour mon ami
As much as we clown on each other, the North of France and Belgium have a ton in common.
I grew in the area around the estaminet, the neighborhood is amazing and the place is full of terrasses to enjoy a drink with friend😊

As an Indian who lives in Belgium this actually tastes pretty good with some hot spices

Can you coming in Finland 🇫🇮 in helsinki. Wcm
in Belgium it is normal to eat thick cuts of bacon. This is probably less common in America where they prefer thinly sliced
this is the best!!
Oooooof 🤤
Smakelijk eten maatjes bloedworst lambik bier ... Lets go🤪😜😝😛😋
Wow amazing food 🙂🇩🇰
lol this guy gets the full flemish experience at the most belgian ever! I almost hung thinking he was 1 of us haha xD yes stewmeat with fries with mayonnaise on the side is a must that you have to do in Belgium.
Should have also tried Waterzooi, but it's more like a Gent thing
3 Fonteinen is one of the best sources of lambic beers IMO.
I like the Belgium food and beers
They are bourgondisch
Go to route 46 in belgium ! Its in oudenaarde. Look it up. Randy have break a record for eat the monster burger
11:40 "Luckily it's raining and cold" ... So, Your average day in Belgium? XD
If you want to eat traditional Belgian food, it doesn't get much better than that.
The blood saucage is written bloedpens.
No no in brussels flemish it's bloedpanch 😊
Such a shame you're not single because you are a brilliant yourubeber and real handsome keep up with the vids 😊
“Bloempansch” is the phonetic Brussels dialect. It’s actually named bloedpens, literally blood-tripe.
i like this guy, sub to you brodda
You can wake me up to eat the dishes
I would not fare well in Belgium...vegetarian here🤣🤣
you wouldnt do good anywhere in eastern europe too and czech and other countries etc.
Fortunately also plenty of decent veggie & vegan options in Belgium, particularly in the (larger) cities. 🌱
Just don't go to traditional restaurants and you'll find vegetarian options. Unfortunately not enough yet but we are getting there.

PLEASE! SO HANGRY!

best beer in the world ------- westvleteren , again west flemish .
here we don't call that stoemp , that's hutsepot . the rest of dishes like that with are stoemp
but the restaurant you visited looks like one of the better ones . also the best belgian mustard is mostaard wostyn from torhout
if you want to visit west flanders . go to la maison bruges b&b (bruges) or back 2 front b&b (ypres) .
You've gotta visit Sri Lanka.

So Hungry now lol
"Hollandse Maatjes" are from Holland originally .
"It is a Flemish, not a Belgian, stew because we use sirop out of Liège"😅 FYI, Liège is in Wallonia, not Flanders.
😂
For info, sirop de Liège is just reduced apple juice. My Flemish neighbourgs in Courcelles were cooking their own sirop every year from their appletrees.
I think you should listen again. The guy literally says that it's technically NOT a flemish stew because they use sirop from Liege...
@@xkiekske1 That is what I heard too.
@@1964_AMU The sirop de Liège from a well-known brand mixes apples, pears and even dates in their syrup.
