Groentenmarkt

"My kids got a kick out of the Ghent noses. These are really called cuberdons, but rumor has it they got their nickname of “noses” because they look like, well, a nose. These little candies taste like hard gummies—they’re gelatinous and come in different flavors. We got a smattering of them, and I honestly can’t remember if we had a favorite. But the other fun thing about the noses is that there’s a “battle” between who sells the original “better” noses. The two competing sellers often have their stalls set up next to each other. When you’re near Groentenmarkt, keep an eye out for two old-school-looking wagons set up. Their little setup has several flavors of noses, so you can be the judge (after paying, of course) as to which you think is the best."
