📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Stoemp means 'mash' in Brussels dialect: potatoes boiled and mashed with seasonal vegetables like carrot, spinach, leek, or cabbage. It's very similar to Dutch stamppot. Topped with sausage, bacon, or a fried egg, it's a staple of Brussels home cooking.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In an eatery in a Brussels working-class neighborhood, a thick sausage is laid on steaming vegetable mash with mustard alongside.
