I haven’t cook something nice for a while now. I blame the football because, despite the fact that I am actually not a crazy football fan, I have succeeded in seeing most of the games. And as we don’t have a TV, every time there’s a game, we end up in a bar or a pub, have an unhealthy dinner (burgers and fries and all these kinds of pub-food). At least when Turkey-Germany game was on, S and N asked us over for pasta and football – the best dish I had when watching the football.
So, all in all, I did not have time to cook dinner in the past weeks. Everything should change now, as today is the last game, which we are going to see in one of the German pubs. Hence, soon you’ll be able to find some new dishes and recipes from this site.
In the mean time I’ll tell you about a very nice restaurant in Brussels, where I ended up somewhere in between the football games. Como-Como is located in the center of Brussels and is just too cute to be true. The food comes to you – it moves on those lovely little plates from one table to another and you can just pick the snack you want, eat it and then reach for another delicious bite. The snacks look divine and it is pretty difficult to choose which one to try next. The pictures are pretty bad – as I only had my phone with me – but should give you an idea of this very cozy restaurant.
All the snacks are divided between themes – meat, veggie, sweet, garlic, etc. The colour of the plate tells you which snack it is carrying. Just take the plate, eat the snack, think “oh, this is scrumptious” and mumble something like “mmyummymm” and reach for another snack. I can guarantee – it is the same no matter which kind of snack you try. You will be charged by the number of the plates you have in front of you. The more you eat, the cheaper the price of a plate.
To tell you the truth, I was a bit of distrustful of this place. I mean, it sells bite-sized snacks – how can one eat a dinner there. And it looked like a place for cool and fancy people only, who go there, eat a snack or two, have some wine and talk about cool stuff. And as I don’t 
categorize myself as a cool person, more like an ordinary one, I thought it wasn’t the place for me. Boy was i wrong!
There were four of us when we walked into the restaurant. Of course it was full and I thought the waiter is going to show us the door. But no! He kindly told us that there are some people leaving in about 10 minutes, so if you are willing to wait in one of the bars next door, I can give you a call once the table is ready. Simple as that. I was impressed.
About 15 minutes later we were sitting there at the table, as promised, and started to choose our snacks. It was difficult. They looked so good and their taste…I had no idea that bite-sized snacks can taste as little pieces of heaven. I only tried about 5 snacks because I had a terrible toothache, but with four of us we ate about 25 snacks – or more. And each and every one of them was delicious! I highly recommend this place – its a bit pricey though – but its well worth it. The food, the ambiance, the service – 10 points.
I’ll go and do something useful now, before the football. I’m not sure yet which team to support, as my favourite was The Netherlands…So I don’t really care who wins, as long as it is an interesting game, with several goals, yellow cards and emotional players.
