Too funny, I may have to see what I can do to get one if possible.

That's pretty funny. I would like to get one or two of those coins for my small collection.

I hope your son served the fries with mayo then.

Bruno that is the most entertaining thing I have seen come out of Belgium since Eddy Wally

Mayo, other toppings and a killer mayo-garlic-exploding hot topping that brought 'em by the dozens to the stand.

Kind of late to this thread but appreciated the humor and the information. I discovered a long time ago, in a general way, how limited we Americans are regarding the culture and languages of Europe. I myself am guilty. I learned this by meeting a lot of Europeans and young people from other countries when I was involved in youth hostels in Hawaii. The first shock was that most of them (non English speaking) spoke English....I could go on but........so I had to inventory my pathetic knowledge of Belgium. Here it is in a few words: mussels, fries, beer, cobbles, Eddy Merckx, now Bruno.
That's it! Six freaking words to define a country. I am mortified and will now slink away into a corner for the day and wear a pointed hat.
