    Didn't they originate in the middle east, but became a delicacy in Belgium hence the name??

    I just re checked on the food reference website it states

    they are named after the capital of Belguim where is thought they were first cultivated.

    this question was also on eggheads or weakest link this week so i`m sure I was right :beer:

    A quick google, and most sites said Belgium, a couple said somewhere in the East - Afghanistan & area :confused::D


    They were certainly named after Brussels Belgium but whether they originated there I don't know :)
