On our way home from Germany we visited Brussels and Bruges in Belgium. 
One of Brussels' claims to fame is the statue called Manneken Pis, dating from 1619. Yes, it's the little boy peeing that has been replicated in zillions of garden statues all over the world. Here's a photo of the real thing, then two replicas combining the various Brussels icons: Manneken Pis with Belgian waffles and Manneken Pis with Belgian chocolate (both of which we did partake in). 
All that was left of our Belgian chocolates when we got home were a few tiramisu almonds and 2 truffles. (The truffles were ok, but the covered almonds were AMAZING.)
Then it was on to Bruges, which is a city much lovelier than the photos we took. It's beautiful and quaint and cute.
Bruges is also a possible location of origin for French fries. So we ate them (but did not have time to tour the museum).

How were the fries? Did they taste different than what we are used to?
