I first tasted this great cocktail in Bruges, Belgium. I was so thrilled when I discovered this drink even existed, because i really enjoy champagne and raspberry beer, but I never thought of putting both together. Beleive me, this is really tasty, it is fruity, bubbly and refreshing. Champagne can be substituted by any dry sparkling wine.
For those of you interested in authentic Limbourgian Belgian cuisine! This is a popular local dish in the South of the Netherlands, as well as the Flemish part of Belgium. The meat becomes wonderfully soft by soaking it in vinegar overnight. I know it sounds odd, but be ready for an authentic European-style dish and you will love it! Some of the ingredients might be difficult to get in the U.S. Adding the spiced bread, the sandwich and rubbing the meat with flour adds a great taste to the stew and thickens the fluid. Tastes great with fries.

From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everbody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook.” Ruth recommends this as an accompaniment to her Christmas Turkey. I make this once a year for Thanksgiving. Note: Prepare several hours prior to, if not the day before, serving.
WOW was I surprised at the fresh flavor in this crunchy salad. Both hubby and I really enjoyed it a lot – the dressing is the secret! If you don’t have baby turnips, feel free to add carrots, broccoli, cauliflower or another crunchy veggie. Adapted from a recipe from The Fruit Guys.
