Original recipe serves 2. Current scale: 1x.
Similar to something I had in Brussels at a lunch spot. You stand at a bar and eat standing up. I didn't speak any of the languages and the waiter just brought me the daily specials. It was about 3 degrees and no one seemed to mind the cold except me who had just spent 6 months in the tropics!
