You are exactly right, Belgians don't have this with the fancy topping, because the waffle on it's own is quite rich. It is a good snack to take on the road, especially when hungry. That's why you can find them at most train stations.

Right until I was about to leave London, I had not booked a hotel. I only had train tickets purchased up front and had a travel guide with me. Hi Tigerfish: There ... I had just posted on Mussels and Beer. Chocolates coming up one of these days. Hi Cocoa: I hardly planned for this trip — not as much as I wanted to.

It was raining too when we were there. Brussels is quite a confusing city to drive in. Good you took the train. Time for chocolate, mussels and beer ? ;p Seems it’s always raining in Belgium, or rather Brussels. It was raining too when we were there. Brussels is quite a confusing city to drive in.
