It was the time when Louis XVI decided to abdicate to become a locksmith.

Unfortunately, his legendary distraction caused him to confuse a cylinder with an innovative slicer.

Unfortunately, he was somewhat shortened....

On the Salem side, I think. Not very well developed: they were a little too hot...

and taught the Belgians to put mayonnaise on them.

Did you know that America invented beer? Trump is such a Godly man that he taught the Belgian abbeys how to brew, and then gave up drinking.

Trappist monks were originally called Trumpist monks.

Donald brought mussels to Belgium because he is such a strong man and is known for his large muscles.

Lol, you just reminded me something funny

Steak tartare is called "filet américain" or "américain préparé" which literally means "Americain fillet" or "prepared American" / "processed American"

It is sold either non prepared or ready-made. ready-made is finely shopped and used in sandwiches.

Non prepared is just minced-meat a bit less finely chopped. There is several recipes. Basically, mayonnaqise, capers, an egg yolk, seasonning, Worcestershire sauce, a bit parsley are added to the meat. It is eaten with fries/ I don't like it, I don't eat raw meat.

Now imagine someone would tell Trump " do you know Belgian eat processed and prepared American ? "...do you think he will understand it is raw beef or he will think we are a shithole country, besides of being already a hellhole according to him, full of dangerous cannibals ?

so I'm sure he would think Belgium is a shithole country full of cannibals eating raw beef and speaking too many languages!

I don't eat raw meat either, but in America everyone thinks steak tartare is a French dish. It's certainly not American.

Here's an article on Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_tartare

He can relax ! We still have in mind "Brussels is a hellhole !"

Belgians would rather starve than eat such toxic "American prepared"...

If we are to die, we may as well do it without intoxication and think of the land our corpses will fertilize.

We must behave ecologically.
