Tv-Chef Wim Ballieu wants to start a chain of meatballshop. He started a pop-up store in Gent at the Sint-Jacobsnieuwstraat in April. The balls – made from the meat from the butcher shop of his father – are filled with creative fillings such as chervil and pancetta, foie gras and even crab. You can eat in the shop and take-out the balls, they are served with ‘stoemp’ (mashed potatoes) or a salad. The balls are very popular; the pop-up setting is changed to a permanent settlement. Furthermore, a branch in Bruges will be opened and a pop-up version will open in Antwerp. We already wrote about The Meatball Shop (NY) and Monday, meatball day at restaurant ‘De Open Keuken’ in Hilversum.

The yellow-fleshed watermelon is the almost identical twin of the red-fleshed watermelon and is described by some, as having a more sweeter, almost honey-like taste, than regular watermelons. We tasted it this summer at various breakfast buffets in the far East and loved it, but found the taste almost equal to the red-fleshed watermelon. But it’s great to make a watermelonsalad with both colors!
