Mussels in Brussels

When in Brussels for sure you must have Mussels with fries… just don’t call them “French fries”, they actually originate from Belgium.

But first something that really made me laugh. This is a display window for a souvenir shop in Brussels, in vicinity of the Manneken Pis.

The label claims this is a “Limited Edition” T-shirt. Indeed. Given the endless government crisis in Belgium perhaps Obama taking over is not completely out of question.

 

American influence can be seen in more ways than just through the open support for our new president. Check this out!

Unfortunately this Scientology center was closed so I couldn’t improve my life on the spot and get rid of my body-thetans. Could this be because Belgians consider Scientology to be a “criminal organization”?

 

 

Anyway, to wrap up, mussels in Brussels are indeed wonderful. If you find yourself at the Grote Markt try a nearby Chez Leon restaurant; they’ve been in business here for well over hundred years.
