Brussels Mussels and Belgian Waffles

During my last visit to Brussels with RIAS in 2001, I ventured out with former NBC correspondent of John Dancy for a plate of mussels. They were delicious, but the result was some kind of food poisoning that made me miserable for two days. This time, I opted for mussels gratinee in escargot sauce. They seemed a bit dry and chewy but this time I lived to tell the story. Did you know that the Belgians claim to have invented "French" fries? They taste amazingly different here!
Andrew, of course, sampled an authentic Belgian waffle.
