A new month and no new recipe BUT a very new kind of blog post. I personally love watching “What I ate”-videos on Youtube, so I thought, you might also enjoy this style of blog post. Obviously, it’s not a Video but if I say so myself, I got some pretty food photos. It was uncomfortable taking out my huge camera in every restaurant but I only failed once (the tiny falafel store was just too intimidating). Coming to Brussels was a rather spontaneous decision and definitely not a decision made because of the amazing variety of vegan foods. I have been to Belgium a thousand times before but never as a vegan. I love waffles, chips and all the other non-vegan Belgian foods. Let me tell something, I don’t need a ton of options but WHY do you take away chips from me?! I adore chips and reading that Belgian chips aren’t vegan (or even vegetarian) broke my heart and no amount of vegan Belgian chocolate was able to cure that (and it’s not because I ate too little chocolate, I can tell you that). However, with a little research and with a lot of help by my life saviour https://www.happycow.net/, I managed to get delicious food (even without going to actual vegan places). Even though I got tricked once but more of that later on. We stayed in Brussels from Saturday noon to Monday noon and apparently, lots of restaurants and cafes close on Sundays so we were a little limited in our options. I am just mentioning that because I want you to know that there are more vegan options available in Brussels and what I ate is just an assortment of vegan options you have in Brussels. Let’s get started!
DISCLAIMER: I do follow a mainly vegan diet, but no special diet. I eat carbs, I eat proteins, I eat fats, I eat sugar, I eat raw food, I eat cooked food, I eat 'till 4 and long after that (usually not until 4 am though), I love fresh veggies and fruits but I also love processed foods. This is not what I eat on a daily basis (who can afford that?!) but what I ate on holiday, without a kitchen for me to use. I am not on any diet and I most certainly did not try to lose weight in Brussels.
