Belgian Bodmers

Its all about food

A great thing about living in Belgium (and Europe in general) is the fresh bread. There are bakeries everywhere and even in the grocery stores the bread is baked fresh. Besides restaurants bakeries are about the only thing open on Sundays. After hours you can even buy fresh bread from a bread vending machine. I kid you not - sliced loaves of fresh baked bread in a vending machine!

I know I've talked multiple times about the grocery store and here I go again. At one of the stores I frequent they have a section of deep freezers for all different kinds of meat. In between the steaks and the chicken is meat for dogs. Yes, meat for dogs! Not dog meat though. People in Belgium, more so than any other European country I've visited, love their dogs. Even knowing this I was still a little shocked to find out about the meat for dogs section. I'm pretty sure I have not purchased any for our family. I suppose since Belgians love their dogs so much the meat for dogs is probably pretty high quality at least.

  • I haven't heard any mention of Atkins but since everyone, yound or old, rides a bike evrywhere they can afford the carbs. Also riding your bike while smoking a cigarette really burns those extra caleries.
