Waffles & Beer & Snails, oh yum!

Because I am the slowest person ever to post photos I will be posting food photos of our Europe trip for years to come! The other day I was really craving a Belgium waffle. Not the kind you eat for breakfast with strawberries and whipped cream, powdered sugar and maple syrup but a real one. The kind you buy from a window or street vendor in Belgium where you get just powdered sugar on if anything because the sticky bread is already super sweet with a slight carmelized crunch on the outside, and it is still warm from being cooked in the iron....mmmm. I had 3 waffles throughout our Belgium stay, this one was the second best and was bought from a window stand in a French-Belgium city south of Brussels. After we went on a hike through the French-Belgium countryside, got lost in a cow paster, and passed a group of high school aged kids on a field trip (the only other people we saw on the trails) we were thirsty. Enter Belgium beer. Believe me, this was not our first beers in Belgium, maybe more like our 10th or 12th. I just find it interesting that each beer has its own glass it is served in. It seems like it is considered a sin if you don't serve it in its designated glass. Each bar or restaurant must have a whole special room just to store all of the different types of glasses for each beer they serve. We returned to Paris a little earlier than we expected which gave us a great opportunity to go back to the last restaurant we ate at in Paris on our way out at the beginning of the month. We loved the lunch there so much we had to go for dinner. I went adventurous and ordered the escargot. I have tried it in the past but never ordered my own. I was very glad I did!
