Real Belgian cuisine-what is it?

Thx so much papaver. Very interesting.
You brought back happy memories of white asparagus for him when he was in Germany for 1 wk. (after Denmark). During his trip last year, he emailed me digital photos of piles of fresh white asparagus at the German farmers' markets. He was in heaven...I'm not kiddin'. And I didn't know that the pricing of white asparagus went up exponentially if they have been picked within hrs. of same day.

And he made sure he dined on white asparagus with white sauce when he was there. Ever since I've known him, he had this white asparagus craze that he wanted to fulfill. It's a German traditional cuisine thing also.


I'm sure he will try eel...apparently German traditional cuisine has this also. (I've never tried the German style yet...just Japanese barbecued eel which I like.)

If you don't have as much potatoes in Belgian cuisine, what is the starch, bread? So Belgian desserts...what are they?
