Bruges is a mix of culinary delights - its past as a main trading port of Europe brought many international ingredients to this part of the continent and then began their experimentation, bonding these ingredients into modern day culture and consumption. Ruling through the French House of Burgundy helped, and local bourgeoisie had some of the most rich and desirable menus around in Europe; large quantities, heaps of wine and beer thrown in to a mix to impress the best. Invasions from domineering neighbours brought alongside their food cultures too, and Bruges has capitalised from its misfortune, benefiting today from its colourful past. Despite 400 years of living on the brink of poverty, Bruges local folk managed, and even influences of scavenged food now hit the menus of our top restaurants. Did you know that Flanders was one of Europe's trendsetters when it came to chocolate, fries, beers and waffles? On my Nibble and Taste in Bruges Tour we scratch at the surface of local pleasures and delights…
•Waffles - what was the outcry at the 1964 World Fair in New York, about our lovely 'Belgian Waffles'? •Fries - my favourite chip shops sells the best chips in the world (arguably of course, this is just my opinion), and I'll tell you what makes them so special. •Chocolates - no longer a bitter pill for anyone to swallow. Let's visit one of the world's best ever chocolate makers and discuss his wild side, and how it influences his products. •Noses 'Neuzen' (Cuberdons) ¬- What makes this such a local specialty, when it has such worldwide appeal. Surely that Chemist had no idea in 1873 that his throwaway mix would end up causing a modern-day legal case between two street vendors. •Beer - we struggle to forget the local input of quality beer, and service of it. Its 9000 year past is often forgotten too, after the first one. Yet with 800+ beers in circulation in the city, we manage to pinpoint the ones that bring a rosy-cheeked smile to your face. *For less than 5 days booking notice please message your request
