Us Belgians happily welcome the endorsement of our sweets by a famous Irish man. You're always welcome to come join our sweet little country 😉

He needs to try Leonidas. Divine chocolate.

[@xatz8527]

​​@@dazzathomas we have Leonidas shops in Ireland although we're the first to admit they're not Irish but are indeed divine.

I'm pretty well travelled but I still remember my child like delight stepping off the metro in Brussles and being able to get a freshly baked hot waffle smothered in ice cream of your choice with chocolate sauce. How I left that country still fitting in a plane seat I'm still not sure.

That whistle on the "T"....goodness.😍

[@MrTwister242]

Toppings are for tourists. Liege Waffles already have sugar pearls inside, so no need to add anything really. Brussels Waffles are rectangular without sugar inside, so we usually just add some powder sugar on top. Occasionally people may top with cream, ice cream or chocolate, but that's less common.

[@hatsaok8153]

We have chocomel here in ireland now as of recently, but its 3 euro a can of course

[@geraldinenaughton1522]

the most common flavoured chips are natural and paprika and than additional flavored lik pickles. love that you enjoyed our snacks. i'm from the flemish part of belgium where we speak flemish or dutch it is practicly the same but different nuances like America, the UK and Australian.

[@kevinflynn5634]

Or Ireland...given we are watching an Irish guy!

[@Casmomof3]

Half Belgian, half Irish person here. They speak Flemish and French in Beligium. Destrooper waffles are indeed Flemish. You don't need to heat Suzi waffles, though microwave would be better than toaster. You dont need to put anything on them either. We also have a type of bread you can buy in the bakery that has sugar kernals in it similar to Suzi waffles. It's called zuiker brood, literally sugar bread.

[@Casmomof3]

Also, my great grandfather always had Leopold sweets! I had forgotten they existed. Thank you for the memory. He always had the lemon ones. I loved them!

[@Lomedae]

Fumé is smoked, the English word fume is derived from it. The crisp taste is supposed to be smoked bacon.

[@fiel468]

For the Grills chips, fumé means ‘smoked’, no chickens involved in think😂

[@Lennyz0r]

As people have mentioned: dutch (flemish), french and a bit of german on the side. So everything on those packets is in (at least) 2 languages (dutch and french). Great stuff! 🥳🇧🇪

[@johnvandencruyce]

Please shake the Chocomel before you open it, it will be even better since most of the chocolate is settled at the bottom.

[@frenchdilligaf7620]

I just seen your piano I always wanted to get lessons one day on playing instruments, love your videos ❤ much love

[@carolinenagel7085]

Garron, you are absolutely welcome in Belgium. FYI Santa Claus is indeed based on Saint Nicolas. Saint Nicolas was a bishop in Turkey in the 8th or 9th century and is the patron saint of children and prostitues amongst others. On December 6 his nameday is celebrated in Belgium and the Netherlands, it's a typical for children, where they get gifts.

[@dominiquehamilton7713]

The pickle crisps aren't pickle flavour, they are Picallili flavoured, the mustardy kind.Also, Picalilli in Belgium tastes much sharper than it does in the UK. (Belgian living in England)

[@efa666]

One of my favorite memories of Amsterdam is passing out after getting stoned off my arse and drinking 5 cartons of Chocomel, had an out of body experience watching myself gurgling like a greedy toddler with a belly full of delicious milk.

[@efa666]

@@seanmanning188 they have Chocomel in Amsterdam.

[@howardmckenna]

Have you tried Fristi. A fruity yoghurty drink in a can?? It's right up there with Chocomel!!! (Same size can.)

[@therezaloftus]

send me money lol you cheeky bugger garron you crack me up though

[@sawahtb]

St. Nicholas... Saint Nick... Santa Claus.. all the same essentially but St. Nicholas was more of a historical religious person, which has devolved now into a spirit of Christmas. He was generous and saved innocent people and over the centuries became a legend and a myth, with Reindeer and a sledge that flies.

[@brendanctogher]

Enjoyed that Garron, lived in Brussels for 3 years.

[@dotty1220]

[@JayGall-jw2fw]

They sell Chocomel all over the UK so I wouldn't be surprised if you can get them in Ireland. I've had it Holland in one of the smoke/coffee shops

[@savyjett]

I love peach tea! I’ve never seen sparkling before!

[@lornaoconnell5264]

[@H-nx8wr]

Isn’t that chocolate the best and sparkling tea is new! St. Nicholas is the original Santa. The deli choc looks surprisingly good. I may need to move to Belgium…

[@heidivanbrabant830]

mainly on products is spelled in french and dutch like the chocolat it is milk buit french word for milk is lait and the dutch cal it melk.

Top tip for you, when eating a chocolate biscuit, put it in chocolate side down onto your tongue, you'll never go back.

[@danigrave3436]

I second this.

[@OrwilrmW]

I have never thought to heat up the cold wafels, i've lived in Belgium for 17years! Those suzy belgian waffels are from Liege (french name for luik) usually you get them freshly made hot covered in cream chocolate strawberries- so basically anything sweet. There are Brussels waffels aswell but the luik's ( said 'like' with a cork accent) are the ones you we see more often. gerookt/ fume is smoked. I love lays pickles, Oh and everything has to be labelled in dutch and French. Belgian Dutch is called flemish or formally as Nederlands. It is usually spelled the same but said very differently in every town and village.

[@campoilse7111]

I live in Belgium for 51 years now and a liège waffle is eaten plane only for tourists it's covered in chocolate and other things

[@OrwilrmW]

@@campoilse7111 Is it the brussels ones or that a tourist thing aswell. i live in the middle of a city so only i only see ones people have stuff on them. Personally, not a fan

[@neonnn123]

​@@OrwilrmWLiège waffles with toppings is 100% a tourist thing, no Belgian would ever eat a Liège waffles that way. The Brussels waffles are indeed served with toppings, usually powdered sugar or whipped cream, but you can also get fruit, ice cream... But this is a sit down meal and you wouldn't really get a Brussels waffle to go. You eat it in a tearoom with a knife and fork 😄

[@OrwilrmW]

@@neonnn123 Excellent you have now explained something that i have never got an answer more than "they are just different" .)

[@JS-re7ne]

I volunteer to send the Canadian snacks! 🙋‍♀️

[@JoRiver11]

We (Canadians) were brainstorming a list on one of the other episodes... first or second one I think. We had a pretty good list if that helps. It's occurred to me since then that it should probably also include Hardbite chips, since they're a Canadian company.

[@JoRiver11]

@suzannebilski6914 looks like there's another Canadian offering, too

[@NicLizD12]

The first crisps you tried are a corn and potato snack that are “Smoked Fume” flavored. I think that’s a wonderful name for a crisp flavor. Now I need to get some of those sent to the American South (or possibly move to Belgium)

[@carolmurphy7572]

The English translation of the French word "fumé" is "smoked".

[@FountainWeeper]

paprika crisps are the absolute business, top 5 crisp for me

[@evelinelee9122]

tayto has paprika, the irish one, not the north

[@shanemoloney2141]

Lays Grills are Smoked bacon flavour. I used to love them when I lived there. Unfortunately, the paprika version is no longer in production which was a savage combo!

[@MrCharliejaera]

Hard boils candy🤣👌

[@LisaHafey]

In Belgium they speak French, Dutch, Walloon, German, and a couple of varieties of Flemish

[@AnnaLena927]

Belgian here: if you're going to distinguish between French and Walloon, Walloon is the only french that's spoken here. Same for Dutch and Flemish; only Flemish. French and Walloon are the same language, as are Flemish and Dutch. They just use some different words and have different accents, like England English and Scotland English. We understand eachother. It's the exact same language.

[@LisaHafey]

@ thank you so much for clarifying! I was hoping a Belgian would correct me!

[@sylishiel]

Actually Walloon is not the same as french, and not all Dutch would understand the Flemish. So as a Belgian I do not agree with that statement.

[@sh.4409]

A lot of English people struggle to understand Scots. It takes a couple of times or just nod and pretend they know what they are talking about.

[@AnnaLena927]

​@@sylishielthey absolutely are the same base language.

[@anitarichmond8930]

Love the show,you’re just doing alright for yourself ain’t bucko? Here in the states we used to call it “live the life of Riley “ which meant “sweet” by the way, has anyone ever told you that you tend to whistle when you speak? I find it endearing. The Irish charm has hooked me. ☘️

[@kyrastube]

We have grill chrisps here in Sweden too. If theirs are the same as ours (and since we are kind of close I don't see why not) it's just a very strong yellow onion flavour.
