Spanish Style FROG LEGS from Brussels

Back from a weekend escape in Brussels, where we got to visit with Victor, Robert and Thiery. Victor is recovering from his recent sinus operation, so no photos for you Victor fans out there.

Among other things that the city has to offer are many restaurants from various international cuisines. This trip we ate at French, Italian, Spanish and Chinese restaurants. This note will focus on the Spanish Tapas restaurant that we had lunch at on Saturday called "COMOCOMO". The name is based on the Spanish phrase, "how do I eat" and the response can be found in the restaurant's subtitle - "USE YOUR FINGERS!" The Spanish tapas or pintxos come in several categories that can be distinguished by the different color plates. I encourage you to look at their website and review the menu to find out more. The restaurant is found at Antoine Dansaert 10 near the stock exchange building in Brussels. They have a conveyor belt system, like in many Japanese Sushi restaurants, where you make your selections from the plates that are continually rolling by you. At the end of the meal, the plates are counted and you are charged accordingly.

One of the items on the menu are frog legs, which you will see in the picture below. They are rolled in honey and sesame seeds and are a nice treat if you are in the mood for them. Unfortunately, they do not yet offer chicken wings. Perhaps we should convince them to add this other delicacy to the menu soon?
