Chris,I would like to know, what kind of food you eat in Belgium.
We have our fish, our meat, our wines, our fruit ...
I mean what is popular about Belgian food?
Well, it's a bit different in Belgium as I think it is here in New York. We really enjoy the tables. We don't go out for dinner that often but when we go out we stay at a table for three or four hours. It starts with appetizers, then it may be a soup, then it's the main dish, then it's still an ice-cream or something.
It takes so much time to have dinner in your country!
Yeah. We really enjoy eating and it goes slow. Last winter, a friend from Portugal went to Belgium with me. For Christmas dinner, we met at 5:30 and then we started with some drinks. I think we ate from 6 o'clock in the afternoon till 12 o'clock that night.
Wow! You must be fat there if you eat that much.
In fact we don't. We don't do it that often, but if we do, then of course the next day or the next few days you see people just don't eat much.
