🇧🇪 YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS! | Belgian food tour with Traditional Brussels Street Food!

The Crunchiest thing i've ever eaten in my life was in Brussesl!
Today we ate our way through one of our new favourite cities!
We decided to do a DIY Belgian Food Tour and tried some traditional Belgian food, ate our weight in fries and of course washed it all down with some Belgian Beer 🍺 Our 5 foods to try were Belgian waffles from the Waffle Factory (both Brussels and Leige), Frites (fries) from Fritland, Mitraillette Sandwich from La Friterie, Belgian Chocolate from La Belgian Gourmand and Belgian Beer from the Irish Pub called Celtica!
Thanks for watching!

What's your favourite Belgian food!?

[@bandeano3870]

a good belgian stew prepared with trapist beer and fries with mayonnaise is one of my favorite dishes. I also like to eat mussels. and Brussels sprouts with bacon is also at the top of my favorites list

[@alainmellaerts8926]

Sole Meunière, sole in a butter-parsley-lemon sauce. Every fisherman knows it all too well: A sole has to swim 3 times: in the sea, in the butter and in the stomach.

[@JordanandEmily]

@@alainmellaerts8926 I love that! swim three times haha, that's great!

[@tomzxr79]

all tourist traps. sorry. Fries baked in baskets? that is for MCD. you need to go out of the tourist centers to get real belgian food. This is so in every country

[@JordanandEmily]

@@tomzxr79 always was true, always will be true!

[@flitsertheo]

Liège waffles can be found prepacked in any Belgian supermarket. These can be eaten cold or heated. The go-to brand would be Suzy Waffles by Lotus. The original independent Suzy factory was probably the only one in the world with a music studio at the back.

[@JordanandEmily]

Wow! We did find them in the supermarket - so good! Just not sure what brand we got 😅

[@shehzadshehzad4986]

cute surroundind around beautiful view of area

[@JordanandEmily]

The whole place looks so beautiful! Thanks for watching!

[@yvescallaert7923]

Eating a mitraillette is relatively easy: you first eat away some of the chips until you can eat the bun (or you put some of those fries aside and then eat the bun and fries simultaneously).

[@JordanandEmily]

Very good point haha, we assumed to be local you needed to just have big bites!

[@yvescallaert7923]

@@JordanandEmily Euh... a mitraillette basically forces you to eat it in a specific way. It's very far from being rocket science.

[@vaerenbergh]

The better metraiettes are with mexicano and you first eat a bunch of the fries and then dig in once it is small enough to put in your mouth

[@JordanandEmily]

ohhhh with Mexicano sounds amazing!!

[@Qsaws_]

Lovely video, glad you had a good time here

[@JordanandEmily]

Thank you! 😃

[@insedebruyne5351]

hi! the best fries are at Place Jourdan. The place u guys went to is more for tourists :)

[@JordanandEmily]

Oh! Is there a specific shop called place or is it somewhere inside the main place that has the best fries? 😄

[@cocoto7046]

I’m from Brussels. And Fritland is very good. Chez Antoine at Place Jourdan is nice but overrated. Also not worth the travel if you’re a tourist. There’s nothing around Place Jourdan unless you want to visit the European Parliament.

[@Georgian2go]

I think you guys are a cute match. I was looking for some inspiration, as I'll be visiting Brussels with my Partner, for a day soon...That sandwich with the fries looks so amazing, can't wait to try it. THUMBS UP!

[@JordanandEmily]

😄 you have to try it! It's a lot but it's great! Enjoy Brussels!

[@alisefsaf7090]

For me belgium it is one of my favorites country for the food in europe❤ after Italy

[@JordanandEmily]

You might be right!!

[@juliannedean537]

What a fun day, waffles, chocolate, chippies, a cold beer and a show. Good to see you’re eating healthy, at least the waffle had fruit on it. It all looked really yummy, the chips could’ve done with a bit of chicken salt and tomato sauce but they looked and sounded fresh and crispy. Stay safe, miss you both, love you.xx mum 🧇

[@JordanandEmily]

So healthy 😂😂 love you miss you

[@TheShynto]

This is the most wholesome thing I've read today! 🤗

[@JustinBrehm]

Very great video all the sights and sounds what do you think was your favorite food while visiting

[@JordanandEmily]

Oh gosh that’s tough!! For me (Emily) it was probably the liege waffle, for Jordan the frites 🤤 you really can’t go wrong though it’s all so good! 😊

[@JustinBrehm]

@@JordanandEmily 🤣 that is what I was thinking too thanks for the reply

[@khaitran1906]

Yummy yummy!

[@JordanandEmily]

So so good!! 🤤🤤🤤

[@suayhughes8103]

So good 😊

[@JordanandEmily]

So tasty! 😋

[@longtreecityltc9325]

The beer in the bottle is a triple one and a nice one (I use the app untapped to check in all the different beers that i have tasted and rate them as well). I had it myself here in the Netherlands. It's a beer that you also can find here in the supermarket. I also have eating the militairy. It was huge and alone it's difficult to eat all of it. The sauce i didn't like.

[@JordanandEmily]

Just downloaded the untapped app! 😄 thanks for the tip!

[@longtreecityltc9325]

@@JordanandEmily Your welcome. It's a great app! Every local beer you can check in with it.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Belgium and swiss choc are famous

[@JordanandEmily]

Hopefully we get the chance to try Swiss one day!

[@adschrijver]

i'm getting hungry already!

[@JordanandEmily]

😀 haha, we can relate!

[@alainmellaerts8926]

I prefer Brussels waffles but just with powdered sugar. It a great waffle to make at home. It can only be eaten fresh baked or loses its crunchiness. Easy recipe but you do need yeast to have them be light and don’t use sugar. Put powdered sugar on top after baking.

[@JordanandEmily]

Mmm powdered sugar! Honestly I think I'd like anything even similar to waffles haha

[@johanlaeveren735]

😋😋😋

[@JordanandEmily]

Delicious!!

[@jpht1964]

Belgian Chips (fries) …. The real deal..

[@JordanandEmily]

Delicious!!

[@santaclaus179]

manneke pis the local hero who pissed on the fuse of the bomb to avoid the destruction of the city

[@JordanandEmily]

Very cool story! we ended up hearing a few different ones about his origin!

[@samilithuanie3803]

Brussels it's thé best Coty for food in Europe ! Mitraillette it's best i want come black in brussels ans people very good people ! I Miss brussels

[@JordanandEmily]

Brussels is incredible haha we love that you can have a mitraillette and be full for most of the day! Completely agree about the people too, super nice!

[@wardibald]

A quick heads up from a Belgian here: All waffles are dessert. It's fries first, then waffles. How one eats a mitraillette without making a mess has always been an open question. Buying chocolate anywhere in the Brussels city centre is way too expensive. Beginner's guide on buying Belgian beer: go for Trappists or Belgian Family Brewers labels. Stella and Jupiler is watered down water. The K-pop thing is global and not something we all agree with.

[@JordanandEmily]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@nancywaegeneire5029]

the waffle had too many toppings, tourist trap, just powdered sugar and whipped cream

[@JordanandEmily]

We've also found the simpler the better when it comes to thing like this. Unfortunately we had this realisation in the Netherlands after we already left Belgium 😞

[@user-in4ex3tr4d]

for as far as i know as a belgian only turists eat brussels waffels whit all the topings on them and i agree a luikse waffel is better and eaten by all the brussels one is eaten aswell but just whit powder sugar or confituur

[@JordanandEmily]

Powdered sugar sounds so much better!

[@whiskyhot886]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@JordanandEmily]

👋👋

[@jansteyaert1]

I can not believe chacolate and strawberry is the most popular. Most of us just have powdered sugar on our waffles, we're not savages. Half of the fun of a Brussels waffle is the airy crispy texture. That waffle looked rather soggy...

[@JordanandEmily]

probably all the tourists ordering it 🤣

[@Lootensansy2308]

Put some Salad tomato and you Franse hamburger.

[@JordanandEmily]

Good idea!

[@leminh8572]

hello !

[@JordanandEmily]

Hello! 👋👋 how are you?!

[@yvescallaert7923]

ugh... going to an Irish Pub to taste Belgian beer in a city that is filled to the brim with Belgian beer cafes who could give you pointers and explanations about the beers they're serving... you really have to succeed in that type of logic.

[@JordanandEmily]

We did succeed! Because we had Belgium beer in Belgium without a hefty price tag!

[@yvescallaert7923]

@@JordanandEmily You're in Belgium. Finding Belgian Beer without a hefty price tag is not one bit of an achievement. Unless you're a tourist sticking to tourist traps.

[@Linmarr1980]

Irish Pub is mostly very expensive, so I find this odd. If you ever come to Antwerp, check out café Gollem.

[@Lootensansy2308]

You can't waist chocolate in a box even after 2 weeks there are still the same

[@JordanandEmily]

Don't think they would make it through two weeks without us eating them to be fair! 😅

[@Lootensansy2308]

@@JordanandEmilyI think not one tourist. Belgium people can eat them everyday and if you eat Fries you need to ask fries Whit stoofvlees saus and mayonaise

[@IceGuadian]

I will always get mad when I see people get scammed on waffles, they shouldn't be complex and not cost you 9 euros

[@JordanandEmily]

We struggled to find the REAL traditional ones in the city 😞 it seemed everyone was dressed up a lot!

[@IceGuadian]

@@JordanandEmily yeah it is like that in the cities, next time try the countryside or maybe our store bought ones instead

[@JordanandEmily]

@@IceGuadian We abslutely will! I think a roadtrip is in order!

Omg, sandwich with fries? Looked weird. Probably taste weird.

Carb overload but so good!!
