Completely unrelated observations:
1. I love Belgium; or at least, being there. The unfortunate truth, though, is that it's been a good while since I've visited.
My warm-fuzzy memories make it a place with Dutch hospitality and French food.
2. I do like trying different foods, though. Yesterday evening, my buddy John and I yielded to the convergence of four forces...
a. There was an interesting cruise-in in Wheelersburg, Ohio - about 20 miles west of where we live
b. I was nearly out of ethanol-free gasoline for my lawn equipment and we would pass the nearest station with said fuel on our way to the cruise-in
c. My wife had things she wanted to do at home and John's wife was visiting their daughter in Lexington, KY
d. We hadn't eaten at Fred's Restaurant for months and were due for a return visit! (Fred's is only about half-a-mile from the cruise-in location - which is at a McDonald's
)
When we finally arrived at Fred's, we found something new on the menu: a deep-dish personal-size BLT pizza! I love bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches so I had to try it. Imagine crumbling bacon onto a cheese pizza before baking; then topping it with mayo, shredded lettuce and diced tomato before serving. It's not something I'd order every time, but it was certainly a different, fun choice! We had a huge plate of onion rings as an appetizer and continued to eat them with our meal
