I was actually able to EAT at the Eat Brussels festival this year!!! I remember seeing the event last year in 2016 when we first arrived in Belgium and thinking how fun that would be but feeling very disappointed because I wouldn’t be able to eat anything. At that point I didn’t have my breakthrough with trying new foods yet. So I could go and drink the wine but not participate in the food and it just isn’t the same. So this year when I saw the event again I was excited to go with a few of friends and got the chance to try some really delicious dishes. Here were some of the foods I tried!
The first we tasted from Racines was a delicious truffle cheese filled tortelli pasta!!! Then we had a slightly spicy beef dish with a sweet wine pairing from Humphrey Restuarant. The next one we tried was another pasta dish that was on the savory side with tomatoes and greens and breadcrumbs which was also very good! Then of course we also needed to try some desserts as well which included a macaroon, chocolate and lemon eclairs, a chocolate caramel, and espresso!!! So delicious! Plus get this, I even tried chocolate gold painted crickets!!!!!! Ahhhhhh those were so crazy and crunchy and wierd with the little pieces from the crickets and is probably one of the most adventurous things I have tried so far!!!! I had a great time a the EAT Brussels festival and am so glad that I got a chance to go and experience it and enjoy the food and wine with friends this year!
