Yes, you're right! Though I was born in France, I'm currently living in Japan~

Aah, that reminds me that France was here once before! It was a while ago, but I was honored to meet my birth country~ I hope to meet Japan one day~~

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. France was here? He's a little too passonate with things sometimes...

Japan is pretty nice. He's a pretty decent guy. North Italy is adorable, too. The only one I have a problem with is Germany. I grew up around Italy. Although, more around Spain, Romano (South Italy), and Holland.

[spectaculaire]

[assumes her problem with Germany is related to the World Wars, which means she's at least after World War I. therefore, no mentioning of that little bit since the last thing he wanted was to upset her in any way. let's talk about the other countries instead!]

Oooh I see! [imagining the map in his head, trying to remember what he can about Belgium's history, which wasn't too in-depth but at least enough] Have you met with Spain already?

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

[He's assuming right, but she's in a reletively good mood that even Germany can't ruin right now. At least, not mentioning his name.]

Yes~ He was one of the first people I saw here.

[spectaculaire]

Wonderful! And you meant Austria and Hungary, as well?

How often do you actually see one another?

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

Yes, Hungary is one of my best friends and I live with them, so quite often.

[spectaculaire]

Oh you are! It's been a while since I last visited them, so perhaps I should stop by once everything has settled.

But I always find it just so fascinating how the countries could be gathered together like this. We should have an international festival~!

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's a great idea! No Germany, though. He's not here, so it's all good.

[spectaculaire]

[yeeah now he's plotting. never a good thing.]

Miss Belgium, could you tell me some of your countries traditions and festivals?

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

[Oh boy~ It's a good thing he's so damn adorable]

Yeah, sure!

May 1st, there's the European Junior Musical Festival to show off musical talents that people may have. December 6th we have Vrolijk Kerstfeest en een Gelukkig Nieuwjaar, or just the feast of Saint Nicholas, where we distribute presents and spend time with everyone. The three kings sing carols from door to door while we enjoy a meal of Aarappel Kroketjes, fried potato croquettes, and Speculoos, cookies made with cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. And then we have our New Year where we have feast and tons of beer.

[Sorry, I need to look that up still lol!]

[spectaculaire]

[he wouldn't have gotten away with all of his escapades if he wasn't~ but he will be literally jotting this information down...though he has NO clue how to spell some of those words. he'll just. make some note and ask later when the time comes]

A music festival! It's been a while since we've had one of those...[musing as he finishes it off] Anything else? Perhaps something in the fall?

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

Well... I'm not sure if these count as festivals, but we have the Day of Peace in the Flanders Fields on November 11th [Pretend that she dates after WWI hit >_>] and we have All Saint's Day on November 1st and All Souls Day the day after where we bring flowers to the graves of dead relatives. I think in America it's "Halloween"? I don't know.

[spectaculaire]

A Day of Peace...?

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

It's... well... a memorial for those lost in Germany's actions. Those people.... they deserve a day for those to remember them. World War I... it shouldn't have happened, but it did.

[spectaculaire]

[...ah!] Of course, how could I have forgotten! [it's been so long since he brushed up on his history, sob]

Yes that...might be a little more difficult but perhaps there could be something...

And you mentioned Halloween... [has to wonder if anything will happen like the past few times, erp.]

Ah, what about traditional clothing? And food?

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

Well, as for food, I'm famous for my waffles and my chocolate. They're the best the world.

[She's oh so proud of that]

Beer is especially important, but we also eat things like frieten [French fries], in which I came up with. America seems to think it came from France, but just because it has French in it, doesn't mean he has the credit for it.

[Mosselen-friet/moules-frites: mussels and chips.
Konijn in geuze/lapin à la gueuze: rabbit in geuze, which is a spontaneously fermented, sour beer from the area around Brussels.
Stoemp: potato mashed with other vegetables, often served with sausages.
Salade Liégeoise: a salad with green beans, pieces of bacon, onions and vinegar, associated with Liège.
Vlaamse stoofkarbonaden: a Flemish beef stew, similar to the French Beef Bourguignon, but made with beer instead of red wine.
Waterzooi: (lit. 'Water mess') a rich stew/soup of chicken (or sometimes fish), vegetables, cream and eggs, associated with Ghent.
Paling in 't groen/anguilles au vert: Eel in a green sauce of mixed herbs.
Gegratineerd witloof/chicons au gratin: a gratin of chicory in béchamel sauce with cheese.
Tartines: Slices of rustic bread and an uncovered spread, often pâté or soft cheese, served on a board and eaten with knife and fork. A typical variety is a slice of bread with quark and sliced radishes, typically accompanied by a glass of gueuze.
Tomate-crevette: a snack or starter of grey shrimps in mayonaise stuffed into a hollowed-out raw tomato
Braadworst, Pensen or Boudins: a type of sausage in which the meat (or blood) content is mixed with fine breadcrumbs. Often eaten with potatoes and apple sauce, sometimes eaten raw or barbequeued.
The Ardennes is notable for Charcuterie, or cold meat products, particularly paté, which may be made of game such as wild boar.
Waffles, sometimes eaten as a street snack. There are two main styles, Brussels and Liège.
Chocolate, particularly pralines (filled chocolates).

I'm too lazy to list them on her post so pretend she mentioned them.

[...IN AWE]

Miss Belgium, would it be too much to ask if you could perhaps make some of these dishes sometime? I would love to taste them!

[fff WORKS FOR ME /O/ should make a Beglium day~ xD]

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

[Lol, yes~ she needs more love :3]

Not at all! I'd be happy to make some of them. You just have to taste my waffles!

[spectaculaire]

Really?! That would be splendid~~

[....ah!]

Perhaps I could add it to the cafe menu~~

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

Cafe? When should I make some for you then?

[spectaculaire]

Yes, I run the cafe here in the Residential district in one of main parks~

[...ah.] ...Though I'll have to temporarily close it because of everything that's happening. [alkjdsf CASTLE FALL sob.]

But how about once things have settled down? You would be more than welcome to use my kitchens, too~!

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

Ah, that sounds like fun! Sure!

[spectaculaire]

Wonderful! Then I can't wait to formally make your acquaintance~

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

You too
