Final day on tour in Brussells...

Tin Tin Murals everwhere...

Lovely intricate architecture (with chocolate shops dotted all around)...
Two classically 'Belge' starters ordered for us by some nice friends of Jodi's: Les Croquettes aux Crevettes (a shrimp based croquette - pierce the beautifully deep fried croquette and its like shrimps in a roux/mayonaise filling!  And in the background - Les Tomates Crevettes - tomatoes filled with shrimp - which comes from the north sea.  C'est Bon!
I liked the gravy boat for the ubiquotous mayonaise (so good with des frites!) and the butter ceramic pot was good looking too!
The most Belge of them all - les moules frites!  These mussels (at the height of their season now apparently) were so sweet, small and delicate to eat.  They were Moules Mariniere - cooked in a stock with celery, carrot and garlic.
