Paper Magazine explores some of Belgium’s most delicious food! Chocolates Waffles There are two main varieties of waffles in Belgium. Brussels waffles are made with a yeast-leavened batter, which makes them lighter and crispier. They are rectangular with defined edges, and they have deeper pockets or holes. It is not as sweet as the other variety but nonetheless, it is still tasty when topped with whipped cream, chocolate, ice-cream or various fruit toppings. The more common waffle sold in Brussels is the Liège waffle. Liège waffles are made with a thicker batter that is similar to bread dough, and they have uneven edges. Pearl sugar is mixed in with the dough, which caramelizes when the waffle is cooked. They are thicker, richer and chewier than the Brussels waffle. For a delightful wafflelicious experience, try the Maison Dandoy in Brussels. Some of the world’s finest chocolates hail from Belgium with its Speculoos chocolate heritage dating back hundreds of years. Top Belgian chocolatiers, Herman Van Dender, Pierre Marcolini and Dominique Speculoos is arguably the most popular cookie in Belgium. Made Persoone continue to put Belgium at the forefront of being the to celebrate St Nicholas’ feast, these spiced shortbread cookies can producer of high-quality chocolates in the world. be found with the most beautiful designs.

PAPER 06 cover story Flemish Beef Stew Belgian Meatballs Meatballs are a Belgian mainstay dish, with a mixture of pork and beef. In Flanders, balletjes or “balls” are often served smothered in tomato sauce, or, sometimes, Frikadellen-style, fried in butter with Belgian cherry sauce. Liège, boulets Liégeois are extremely popular. These meatballs are served with a rich sauce of beef stock, spices, onions/shallots, vinegar and sirop de Liège, a fruit syrup which is a bit like molasses, made from apples and pears. There is even a confrérie or guild dedicated to this dish. Every year, its members give a kind of award (the Boulet de Cristal) to the owner of the restaurant proposing the best rendition of the dish. Belgium’s national dish, the Flemish beef stew is traditionally served over hot and crispy French fries, but it’s equally as delectable with a few torn hunks of grainy bread. The meat is extremely tender and the sauce is very sweet. This typical Belgian food is made from beef slowly simmered in Belgian beer until it melts in your mouth. Other more adventurous chefs might attempt to include ingredients like mushrooms or garlic to enhance the taste but beer is the mainstay ingredient (other than the beef). This dish is the ideal comfort food on a wet winter day, especially as it is invariably served with French fries or mashed potatoes. It warms you from the inside out. If you are ever in Brussels, pop by the Café Chicon Au Gratin Novo near the Grand Place to try out this stew. This is another Belgian national dish. The typical dish consists of Grey Shrimp Croquettes chicons wrapped in slices of baked ham and covered with a Mornay sauce and some grated cheese.

Often described as the ‘queen of seafood’, they are less than an inch long when peeled, have a greyish-pink colour, and a more pronounced taste than the traditional larger, pink shrimps.

Traditionally served as an appetizer or as an accompanying snack to a glass of wine or beer, travelers to Belgium need to try this delicious snack!

  • The Migration of Poles to Belgium and Their Return to Poland Between 1918 and 1952 – the Migration Story of the Szotek Family
    Migration Studies – Review of Polish Diaspora nr 1 (179)/2021, http://www.ejournals.eu/Studia-Migracyjne/ DOI: 10.4467/25444972SMPP.21.003.13315 The Migration of Poles to Belgium and Their Return to Poland Between 1918 and 1952 – the Migration Story of the Szotek Family AGNIESZKA KULESA1 ORCID: 0000-0003-2895-102X CASE, Center for Social and Economic Research ANETA NISIOBĘCKA2 ORCID: 0000-0003-4292-4482 Archives of the Institute of National Remembrance The aim of the paper is to serve as a reminder of Polish economic migrations to and from Belgium between 1918 and 1952, largely absent from the collective memory of Poles or frequently identified with migrations to and from France. Based on the account of the Szotek family, collected in accor- dance with oral history methodology, the authors present the family’s complex story of migration: first a journey from Ujków Stary to the Charleroi coal basin in Belgium and then a return to Poland, where they lived again in Ujków Stary, then in Zalesie and Bystrzyca Kłodzka, only to finally return to Ujków Stary. The family’s reasons behind the decision to go to Belgium and then re-migrate to their homeland helps to comprehend the historical context of economic migration to and from Belgium, as outlined by the authors. The issue of adaptation of emigrants in the country of settle- ment, and then their adjustment as re-emigrants to the new reality forged by the authorities of the “democratic” Polish People’s Republic occupies an important place in the paper. Key words: Polish economic migrants in Belgium, mining industry, remigration, oral history 1.
