Where are you from? -.-
- Thread starter aconjunto
- Start date
Been there. Going there again soon! It's an interesting place--esp Antwerp for me.
Indeed. They got LOTS of kinds of beers. I myself got confused on what to get. A colleague of mine made me try a sherry-like beer (idk if it's actually a sherry wine but it had a hint of a malted beer taste).
Also, I love the vol au vent (koninginnehapje)!
Anyway, I'm not from Belgium, but I go there and to Breda (Netherlands) from time to time because of my job. I'm from the Philippines.

My mom was raise here in the US, Hawaii. My dad was raise in Germany..so I can speak both language well.. but i live in Germany for 15 years, and moved back to the USA to get my collage degree. I lived in a town called D?sseldorf, it very pretty city and know for its art. It also know for it beer, and for the Karneval! If you do come to D?sseldorf you must see the Karneval!!Pommes Frites.

Was actually interested looking for Berlin wall remains, but I'll try to look for Dusseldorf's Karneval as well.

that's the spirit and yes koninginnenhapje is great xdAnd I think the thing you drunk could be a "kriek". It is literally translated as sherry. It's a sherry-based beer, though it's very soft and doesn't contain much alcohol. It's very good
Yes, french fries is just a name. Don't forget that half of Belgium speaks French + we have been rules by France in the past + the Belgian elite in the previous centuries spoke French. Dutch was a language for the "common people".

It's French: pommes frites = fries.Pommes Frites. Interesting. Funny though coz the word pommes sound frenchy to me. Well, maybe that's just moi.

Yeah, that's what it's called.

I noticed that when I went to Brussels (coz I was staying in Ghent and most speak in Dutch), I think almost everyone speaks French there. I really don't know about the history, but one of my coworkers told me that those who use French as their first language hardly speak (or aren't that much fluent) in Dutch, whilst those who are actually Dutch speakers can speak French fluently. Hmmm... that's something. wait 2 secs to reload the image
