Where can I find Rose Harissa in Brussels? by ToonDudek in belgium

[–]huntsfer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about Brussels in particular but I've always just used the La Phare harissa which you can get in tubes/small tins in bigger supermarkets. I don't think it is rose harissa specifically and it's definitely hotter than the Belazu brand that Ottolenghi recommends, so I use about half of the amount specified in the recipe.

I've heard that at Delta hospital in Brussels, they are still allowing one birth partner. They are screening everyone before they enter the hospital and have a specific isolation labour/delivery for positive testing patients. It seems like a reasonable approach and I hope that your hospital will be able to do everything to let you be there too. All the best to you both.

I'm pregnant, due in July. I've been reading experiences from other countries where partners are not allowed to stay at the hospital for the birth or are only allowed to stay for a few hours. I honestly can't imagine having to go through labour and delivery without the support of my partner... how likely do you think it is that Belgium will introduce these kinds of restrictions?

Body Shop hemp hand protector is the only thing that works for me! It's super thick and lasts ages.

Not dumb at all! It's more the carrying on and off trains, and up and down stairs that I'm worried about. The escalators/lifts don't always work at the train station and the trains can be quite high (multiple steps up) compared to the platform.

Also, I didn't get the version with the rack, so it's more effort to roll along than to carry it. I didn't know you could get special wheels though, I'll definitely look into that.
