weeks. as you can see at the bottom, the lay bloomers middle to mid lower and top. the early blower quick and health has a long history. it starts at the $949.00 with just a few guard the nurse to day. hundreds of exhibitors show off their best flowers. debarked opens every year from march on to me. what are they challenging through maintain such a huge garden? the biggest challenge is if $32.00 acres of park and actually after the park is close, we get the other challenge is 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 you getting 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 emily's 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 now at the 2nd location, which is a less crowded alternative,

or people who want to occur on 2 lives. take pictures and why not self with 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. thus, you are actually allowed inside the field. dead to live barn is not our traditional to live field. 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 to production of tulips and ups for taking pictures. so you wanted to create an alternative for people where to can take pictures without doing any harm to the fields that harry made about a little wider. so people 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 admit 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. and these are the crown jewels of belgian cuisine seat,

a steaming pot of muscles and piping hot fries. and we'll show you how it's done or what out. nevada pneumonia, 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 who sail operating for more than a century. annoys said, ain't get enough. my name is cedric and i've been the shepherd was on the blue sail 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. the side of the celery is under the onions doctors, all ending of the vegetables always have to be at the bottom. escalate if you put the vegetables on top of the muscles, they won't cook properly, they're more up. he said,

provided salt and pepper will credit correctly. put it in a pot, but that's a little about one portion of it. it's roughly 800 grams of muscles per person. the food we saw pepper onto a high heat was edward for around 4 to 5 minutes. is on my it's very quick. the chris said activity. and don't forget, around halfway through, shake up the pot to make sure the muscles cook evenly. meanwhile, shaft kelly enough, perhaps the side dish. the world might know these crispy treats as french fries. but this chef as a message jacket only belgians know how to make fries in belgium. fries are usually cooked in beef tallow and in 2 stages. first, at 140 degrees celsius for 4 to 5 minutes, then again at 190 degrees for a further 4 minutes.

before their tossed would see salt and the finishing touch, quill in mortal 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 fate and brussels

but the price tag isn't deterring these customers every time we're in brussels, we always try and at least myself seen that they're the typical dish and 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 tests over the years a disabled width of the former korean of baptism. madame maloney, clint done some jasmine, but i tell you every monday 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, madison with her quizzing studies. it's our traditional dish. it's our culture, although it's our culinary heritage football team. one credi new moon fleet is a dish popular all over europe. but it's
