Belgian Beer and Chocolate: A Food Lovers’ Tour

Belgian Beer and Chocolate:
A Food Lovers’ Tour

Some start-up travel blogger out there looking for their niche should really move to Belgium and start a website called ‘Beer and Chocolate’.

Happiness in a Box
A box full of Belgian Happiness.

Perhaps it was a product of Jonny and I hanging out in all the most touristy areas of each town but chocolate shops seemed to be around every corner with cathedrals to beer not far behind.

Beer Heaven
Beer H(e)aven.

So of course, we gorged. Only rarely did we get on a bus between towns without a sample box of assorted deliciousness, and only once do I recall having gotten off those busses with any remainder of chocolate left uneaten.

Gourmande Invasion
Belgians do it right, I tell you.

But really, after you see the sheer glut of choices on offer, can you blame us?!

Where to start?
Life Philosophy.
Happiness lies down this road.

And of course, what sort of connoisseurs of the fine things in life would we be without an overloaded Belgium Waffle or three?

Waffle Crazy
Waffling more than Hopkins late in a game of Risk.

I could, perhaps, say more. I think this photo of BackpackingMan from Brussels, though, says it all.

As for myself, I’ll say this. I never ever (very rarely) buy souvenirs, but these two came home with me:

Delerium Red. Tremens is better, but the super-sweet cherry taste
of this was also interesting.

An old favorite, born of countless trips to World Market.

Beware, travelers on a tight budget or waistline. Belgium is waiting for you, and delicious things are everywhere.

A Sign of the (Good) Times
All the good things in life.
