Mmm, another post about food. I thought I should share about this very delicious vegetable only found during winter time called WIFLOOF. Not sure if this is the spelling in english. This is what I see on the tag in the supermarket.

I’ve never seen wifloof before in my life till I arrive in Belgium. Do we have it in Asia? I’ve grown to really really like it. Winter is gonna be over soon though :(

Anyway, this was my sunday dinner, perfectly done by Mr D.

Super-long Sausage from morning market


Wifloof – soft, smooth with slight hint of bitterness


Potatoes – boiled in special recipe


He also made a big pot of witloof soup. That’ll be my dinner for this entire week. Mmm.

    I’m almost sure you can get witloof the entire year round in Belgium! My guinnea pigs liked it a lot! :-)

    Dear jaymy, nice that Mr. D lets experience witloof :-) I would like to see him cooking ;-) Wit loof or white leaf or in proper english chicory is typical Brussels and was orginally breed as a winter-vegetable, but nowadays you can have it the whole year around, just make sure it looks white :-)

    Hehehe, ok, if I can get witloof all year round, I can ask Mr D to stop cooking witloof soup every weekend ;)

    Next time we’ll invite you over for dinner. You can choose on of the 2 themes : Asian or Belgie.
