Our first night in Brussels we went out to get some famous mussels with our friend Rashid. Rashid had a place where he ate at last time he was in the area, so he guided us there. I wasn't very hungry because we had just eaten dinner with Bryson's family, but I like mussels a lot so I wanted to get a few. We wanted to get a few plates and share them, but when the waiter discovered our plans he was repulsed. Apparently the Europeans aren't so keen on people sharing dishes. We did anyway, but the waiter was so angry that he actually found someone else to wait on us! The meal was supposed to include unlimited fries; we only got one batch. The mussels really were delicious though.
In Paris we went out for fondue, in contrast to the Mussels experience, they appeared content with us sharing a few fondues. Oooohh... the fondue was SO GOOD! We ordered three types; meat, beer cheese, and another cheese. It was great. The French couple sitting next to us got a good snicker out of our lack of knowledge on fondue eating, but eventually they decided to give us a little lesson.
On a side note, it is offensive to waiters to tip them-which kind of felt weird to not leave a tip.
