These delicious Belgian sweets are cone-shaped and from East-Flanders, more specifically Ghent. If you are visiting Ghent you must try them! 😍
The “classic” neuzekes have a purple color and have a filling of raspberry and violets. But besides this delicious flavor, there are about 25 other flavors and colors of cuberdons. 🌈
They are available in many places but the most popular place is the "Groentenmarkt" in Ghent. Here, there are two stalls next to each other that sell only neuzekes. This phenomenon is described as the neuzekes war, as they both claim to have the tastiest neuzekes. We think they are both delicious. 🌟

Tradition Tastes Sweet!
In a charming little bakery in the heart of Ghent, you’ll find a specialty known as mastellen. These soft sandwiches, subtly flavored with cinnamon, are baked in an appealing bagel shape and have an irresistible aroma that fills the shop.👩🍳
Priced at just €0.85 each, they are not only a delight for your taste buds but also an affordable treat. You can eat it for breakfast, but also as a tasty snack or dessert.👌
Ghent's mastellen are not just a delicious snack, they are also part of the city's rich culinary history, originating in a monastery 900 years ago.
We loved it.😍

Taste of Flemish tradition!
And finally, we had to try the Gentse Waterzooi, and it did not disappoint!😝
This classic dish, originally made with local river fish, is now prepared with chicken. It's a rich, creamy stew with vegetables like carrots, celery, potatoes and cream giving it a signature smooth texture. The flavor is rich and comforting, perfect for both a casual dinner and a special occasion.🍲
Gentse Waterzooi is a perfect way to experience the heart of Ghent's culinary tradition. It's a dish that feels both cozy and special, and one we'll remember!🤗
