Farmers Market, Antwerp

Carole left this morning for a wedding at City Hall while we all packed up ready to leave on the train tomorrow. When she returned, we walked (what else) to the market. We have bothered Carole enough and it is time to go on.

I have never seen so many tables of olives, cheeses, flowers, fruits and vegetables. Then are the clothes, food kiosks and restaurants.

Lucille and I had a waffle and the other two went for a bratwurst and onions and a hamburger. Carole liked the burger but to me it looked like uncooked mystery meat, but that is just me. It reminded me of the deep fried gravy blob from the other day.

We walked about and then settled down for a soda and pastry. We walked home and got ready to go for a birthday dinner. It has been a good week. Carole has been the awesome tour guide and host and she is lucky to be here in such a vibrant city.

While I am ‘working’ they are playing some wild and noisy card game. Ahh, such children…….

Fiskebar Restaurant, Antwerp

One thing I’ve learned, Belgians never stop eating from morning to night. All the establishments are full every night.

We left for a restaurant called ‘Fiskebar”. This is mainly a seafood establishment. One ordered the sole dinner, two ordered the mixed grill – salmon, scampi and turbot with roast potatoes and I had the scampi with mashed potatoes. All dinners came with a small salad with a dressing and the mashed potatoes are done with parsley.  So good you almost want to lick your plate.

We ordered some chocolate mousse, sang Happy Birthday and came home. Tired, sassy and full. Out of all the meals consumed here in Antwerp, this was my favourite….the best meal yet and, if we lived here and I wasn’t married to the best cook, I would eat there 7 days A week.

Tomorrow is a big day for the 3 of us. Our adventure begins tomorrow.
