Delicacies
One food that I was unable to find here was black beans. Every store I entered, I would hope that their "World Foods" section would include this tasty legume--be it in canned form....or even dried. Well, I finally stopped in a gas station that has a sign which proclaims it carries "British & American Foods." Bingo! There on the shelves, were a variety of American "delicacies." They had Jell-o, Original Cheerios, Hidden Valley Ranch dip packets, cake mixes, and BLACK BEANS! Sam and I had quesadillas and black beans the other night. Before the food reached the table, I had to sample a bean, and it was the strangest thing: I had forgotten what they tasted like. They were actually better than I remembered! It's funny how something as easy-to-find in the U.S. can be such a treat elsewhere in the world. Which Belgian specialties will I miss after we move back to the States?

Definitely miss the chocolates, fresh waffles/gaufres, and frites. Yum!
