tri, which means my crime region about 30 minutes from amsterdam. it's one of the most visited areas in the whole country there in springtime. i'm going to visit 2 of the best places to see tulips here. let's look at all what you can expect to see here. i would ye not clicking of i know what hold spot for to lift plan. oh, smells incredibly good here. these is the largest student garden in the netherlands that are more than 7000000 tulips, but also to adopt reduce hyacinth and other bud flowers. oh, we're planted by hint. patrick fungi is waiting for me. he has been working at cooking hot since 2019 a few nights. so normally 2 lives house, 2 weeks of moving. but you have here a technique were to say quite cool. tell us about it. that district rick is called with are you're bumping. and like you said, there's only going to blooming,

so he created latania plumping, so we can get 6 weeks of, as you can see at the bottom, the late bloomers middle to mid lower and pop. the early blower, quick enough has a long history. it started the night in $49.00 with just a few guard the nurse to day. hundreds of exhibitors show off their best flowers. the park opens every year from march on to me. what are they challenging through, maintain such a huge garden that the biggest challenge is, is 32 acres of park. and actually after the park is close, we get the out a challenge for keeping the water, keeping the trees alive, and we don't have any irrigation system. it's all done by hand. oh, all. so when it drains of you guys are like yeah, we got to eating off with in 2022 more than one

year and visitors came to craig. and this is crazy, totally crawler. i love might come our mind to leaps have been cultivated in the netherlands for hundreds of years, but they are actually from asia after they arrive in the netherlands. people traded with them to know more about it. i meet with enemies declining. how come one of those 2 leaves come for the same price of a fancy house in the netherlands? 100 years ago? yeah. 100 years ago. yes. that's true. it happened. well, that should have been very popular, and people wanted to half of tulip in their garden as a sign of wealthy nurse of richness and important if the price is arranged at enormously. we call that period the top obama. it we are no on the

2nd occasion, which is a less crowded alternative for people who want to a car on to lips. take pictures and why not south, if the to the barn was created by leon. but if not, i had thought i'd throw me into 1021 that are about 500002 lives and over 175 different types to enjoy. this place is also very instagram level. plus you are actually allowed inside the field. dead to live barn is not our traditional to live peel. so how do you come up with this idea? campaign started a couple years ago to create awareness for tourists that they can at stopping into any julie field because it's for the production of tulips and ups for taking pictures. so you wanted to create an alternative for people where again, take pictures without doing any harm to the fields that harry maita bought a little wider to become, walked through, and most latitude have so stay on hard blue. so many corners,

it's beautiful. and here it's much easier to enjoy all the flowers because is not so crowded. if you love sophie's, these is the place to be well after a long and really colorful they, i had to add teeth just bring in another life is quite outside. i'm pretty sure i'm coming back here again. hooked muscles with fries. does that get your mouth watering? maybe not. but in belgium, the locals love it. more st. are a national dish, there reason enough for us to take a closer look and even a level these are the crown jewels of belgian cuisine. move feet,

a steaming pot of mussels and piping hot fries. and we'll show you how it's done or what out. no more than a man. yeah. the belgian capital brussels is home to hundreds of restaurants, serving up the dish among the most well known sister establishments. shalean and bo sounded. roselle operating for more than a century. annoy said, catherine. my name is cedric and i've been, the shepherd was on that who sailed for 5 years. chef cal enough cooks up hundreds of kilos of muscles and fries each week. the magic starts with freshly rinsed muscles and a few ingredients, butter, salt and pepper and celery and onions made about yoga. you add the fat. listed in the celery, listening the onions, dr. all any of the vegetables always have to be at the bottom of skill. if you put the vegetables on top of the muscles,

they want to cook properly to their more updates and provide at salt and pepper will credit correctly put it in a pot? facilities live out one portion. cuba. it's roughly 800 grams of muscles per person . the 1st we saw before on to a high heat was edward for around 4 to 5 minutes. resume. it's very quick. set up levy. and don't forget around halfway through shake up the pot to make sure the muscles cook evenly. meanwhile chef cal enough prep the side dish. the world might know these crispy treats as french fries. but this chef as a message yet can only belgians know how to make fries. in belgium, fries are usually cooked in beef tallow and in 2 stages. first that 140 degrees celsius for 4 to 5 minutes. then again at 190 degrees for

a further 4 minutes. before they're tossed would see salt. and the finishing touch will immortal. we the fries with mayonnaise. brussels love of muscles was cultivated in the 1950s with the advent of paid vacation days. oh city workers who could visit the coast for a few days of fun returned longing for a taste of the seaside and these restaurants were ready to cater to locals. new tastes most muscles served up here in the capital, are still sourced from the north sea, around belgium and the netherlands. these days you can find, mold fleet,

a portion of mold fleet will send you back more than 30 euros, but the price tag isn't deterring these customers every time we're in brussels, we always try and at least have them myself. seen that they're the typical vision. i'm just a fan of myself, so it's as easy as that and that's a very special place with a long tradition. and the food is very good. and they're not the only ones manager terry scares has welcomed some distinguished guests over the years. a disabled width of the former korean of belgium. by the me, larry, clint, done some jasmine. but i tell you of him on his more than welcome customers here can also sample famous local beers. but it's the more free to which make mouths, water, beloved by belgians, mass, and with her queen studies, it's our traditional dish to it's our culture, although it's our culinary heritage of about him one couldn't if mood fleet is
