Elisabeth Goes Dada

One bite, one surprise. Dirk makes our pearls specially for us: a thin, crisp layer of chocolate around a liquid heart of real spirits. The star of the show is Brhum by Dada Chapel, a distillery in an old chapel in Ghent. Brhum is the Belgian answer to rum: distilled from Belgian sugar beet instead of sugar cane, and aged for a year in oak barrels. You taste vanilla, caramel and cocoa. Pop the pearl into your mouth in one go, and the chocolate and Brhum melt together.

Also available with Belgian whisky and delicious amaretto. They contain alcohol, so these are for the grown-ups.
