What should I try in Liege?
Even if you are just passing through the city and do not want to eat, the famous waffles from the whole world still need to try. In Belgium, there are two "national varieties" of waffles: Brussels and Liege, and many gourmets prefer the latter. It is believed that the recipe was invented by the personal chef of the Duke of Liege, adding bits of sugar to the dough. From Brussels they are not only more sweet taste, but also a more rounded form. They are eaten hot and cold, with fruits, berries, ice-cream, poured with chocolate, decorated with whipped plums. The best in the city are considered to be wafers in a bakery on Mynoyers Street in the city center (next to the Place de Marche) and on Piuts-en-Sok Street (on the corner of Surle Street).
Dry wafers with various sweet fillings "lakmans" are popular, but they can be tried only during summer and autumn fairs. In general, baking takes a special place among other dishes of local cuisine. Especially popular are the "bouquet" - something in between pancakes and pancakes. They add raisins, and sprinkled on top with either powdered sugar or brown sugar.
But the traditional cuisine of Liège is not limited to desserts. Try stew in leagues - with potatoes and beans, "boule sauce-lapin" - meat balls in sauce, which includes lejica syrup, vinegar, plums and onions, le matufé - an omelette with bacon and flour.
