the favorites to win oh, every spring, thousands of tourists visit the netherlands to see the amazing tulip fields. although the flower is not native to europe, it became the symbol of the country and its main export. dw reporter deanna penny arrows discovered how to enjoy these gardens despite the crowds. oh, spring spring is the most beautiful and all gonna be financing thrown up the year. and it's my 1st time enjoying it in the land of the 2 youths, the netherlands. and in this tri, which means my prime region, about 30 minutes from i'm certain, it's one of the most visited areas in the whole country during spring time. i'm going to was have 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 live plan. oh, smells incredibly good here. this is the largest through the garden in the

netherlands that are more than 7000000 tulips, but also to dapple to use hyacinths and other bud flowers. oh, we're planted by hint. patrick vandyke is waiting for me. he has been working at cooking hot since 2019 a few nights. so normally 2 leaves have 2 weeks of moving, but you have here a technique or 2 3rd quite cool. tell us about it. that is for greek is called was i, or bumping. and like you said, there's only 2 weeks of blooming. so it created latania plumping, so he gets 6 weeks. garcia, the bottom delay bloomers, middle the middle to worse and pop. the early blower going off has a long history. it started in 1949 with just a few guard the nurse to day. hundreds of exhibitors show off their best flowers. the bark opens every year from march on to me. what are their challenges

through maintain such a huge garden? and the biggest challenge is he's $32.00 acres of park and actually after the park is close, we get the other challenge keeping the water, keeping the trees alive, and we don't have any irrigation system. it's all done by hand. oh wow. so when it drains of you guys are like yeah, we got you getting off with in 2022 more than 1000000 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 cold 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, a general 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 raised enormously . we call that period the top obama. it, we are now and the 2nd location, which is a less crowded alternative for people who want to a car on to lives, take pictures and why not south, if the to the barn was created by knee and ignored, i had thought i'd throw me into 1021 that are about 500002 lives and over 175 different types to enjoy. these plays is also very instagram level. thus you are actually allowed inside the fields. there to live barn is not

a traditional is teal. so how do you come up with this idea campaign start? it's a couple years ago to create awareness for to arrest that they cannot stop 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 and harry maita, but it's a little wider to become walked through, and most latitude have so stay on hard low 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 athlete that spring in the netherlands is quite outside. i'm pretty sure

i'm coming back here again. i cooked muscles with fries. does that get your mouth watering? maybe not. but in belgium, the locals love it. mostly it are a national dish, there reason enough for us to take a closer look and even a nibble. these are the crown jewels of belgian cuisine, moon feet, and 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 was on the blue cell operating for more than

a century annoys city gardener. my name is cedric and i have been the chef at sound of who says for 5 years. jeff calin ass 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, celery and onions made about yoga. you add the fat. listen to him, the celery, listening the onions dr. rolling of the vegetables always have to be at the bottom of skill. if you put the vegetables on top of the muscles, they won't cook properly to des moines up. it said provided salt and pepper quite correctly. put it in a pot bun, plus a little about one portion cover. 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 in the chris said activity. and don't forget around halfway through, shake up the pot to make sure the muscles cook evenly. meanwhile shaft helena. perhaps the side dish, the world might know these crispy treats as french fries, but this ship 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 add $190.00 degrees for a further 4 minutes. before they're tossed with sea salt. and the finishing touch will immortal weed,

the fries with mayonnaise. russel's 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 capitol, are still sourced from the north sea, around belgium and the netherlands. these days you can find more feet in brussels all year round, but fishmonger veronique from you will and says the standard varies depending on the season. the best quality of muscles you eat them in october, november, december, january, and then for us, we fishmonger see only eat them during that short, very short lapse of time. she carries out vigorous product inspections. the could check the quality of a muscle. you have to open it up like this,

like this one seed. it's nice, it's pink. and it's fleshy. the sweeter the muscle, the better of alanine says. and there's a way for professionals like her to check quickly. and this is how we can draw muscles are also sometimes sourced from spain. they were once seen as a simple and cheap dish for the masses. but over the years they become a more sought after an expensive choice. back at the restaurant, 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
