No trip to the Belfast Christmas Market is complete without a plate of Dutch pancakes!
The Belfast Christmas Market has been the focal part of seasonal celebrations in the city centre for the last 17 years.
I am somewhere in the middle when it comes to a visit to the market each year as while it’s hard to deny the festive feeling when walking about with a Bailey's hot chocolate in your hand, it can often feel way too overcrowded for what it’s worth. So while I recognise that I probably could have stretched my 20 quid even further than I did, I wanted to spend my money on food and drink that I would actually enjoy.
My first purchase of the night was my main course - every year I say I will try something different and every year I find myself back at the same stall, ordering the same food because nothing can beat it in my eyes. After eating every last potato and grain of rice, I was absolutely stuffed that I wasn’t sure if I’d even have room for dessert and a pint but for the sake of the challenge, I powered on through.
To wash down the serious amount of eating we’d done so far, we decided it was time for a drink and ended up in the German Beer tent. It was a toss-up between there and Lavery’s but I was definitely feeling the novelty of a flavoured beer at this stage.
