21/29.- Flanders: Kriek and Cream Cheese

Situated in the forest on the outskirts of town, Jezus Eik is a popular destination for small outings on week-ends, and the starting point (or goal) of walks through the forest, as both Tervueren , its museum and ponds, the Arboretum (a park planted with trees from all continents) and the Royal Walk (a majestic alley through the Forest) are within walking distance. The beer to be tasted here (it used to be produced locally) is the ruby-red Kriek, flavored with cherries, together with a slice of bread covered with "plattekees", cream cheese flavored with onions, chives and/or radishes, according to the season.
