Deze liefdevolle culturele gids zet 100 iconen in de bloemetjes die België onderscheiden van alle andere landen. In 100 korte, informatieve teksten vertelt auteur Derek Blyth over eten, mensen, plaatsen, tradities, uitvindingen, gebouwen en zelfs uitdrukkingen die vorm hebben gegeven aan wat hij 'het vreemdste land ter wereld' noemt.

De auteur verkent thema's die typisch Belgisch zijn, zoals strips, mosselen met frietjes, wielrennen, art nouveau-architectuur en regenweer. Maar hij onderzoekt ook enkele bijzondere fenomenen uit het Belgische dagelijkse leven van weleer, zoals de staande wip, grootmoeders kookkunst, duivensport en de alledaagse uitdrukking non peut-être (nee misschien).

Dit boek is niet bedoeld als een alomvattende gids over België, maar als een persoonlijke selectie van de iconen die België uniek maken, vergezeld van leuke adresjes om te bezoeken. Bij elke tekst hoort een originele illustratie van de hand van Antwerpse illustratrice Emma Verhagen, die de unieke geest van België weet vast te leggen.

Derek Blyth woont al meer dan 35 jaar in België. Lang genoeg om te weten dat het een ingewikkeld land is. Als voormalig redacteur van The Bulletin magazine en de krant Flanders Today heeft hij honderden artikelen over België geschreven over de meest uiteenlopende onderwerpen, van verlaten dierentuinen tot obscure Belgische heiligen. Hij heeft zijn favoriete plekjes gedeeld in een aantal bestsellers, waaronder The 500 Hidden Secrets of Brussels, The 500 Hidden Secrets of Antwerp, The 500 Hidden Secrets of Ghent en Hidden Belgium, en hij neemt graag mensen mee op wandelingen door deze steden. Zelfs als het altijd regent.

Pawbler FAIL: First time our dog bit the ball, it popped open and dumped all the kibble.
Size: 1 Pack, Style: Pawbler
I would not recommend! We have a 48# dog and within minutes of giving it to him, the Pawbler was open and all of the kibble was in a pile on the ground. I had washed and dried the Pawbler, added kibble, and tightened the lid as tight as possible. Imagine my surprise when, within minutes of giving it to him, the lid was off and all the kibble was on the ground. I thought it was a fluke so then I made an extra effort to make sure the lid was super tight...and the same thing happened. This time there was no food inside so he started chewing on the two parts. Within minutes of that, he'd chewed/damaged the rubber on both the body and the lid. I took it away as I didn't want him to destroy/eat any of the rubber bits. I was surprised he could even get the Pawbler in his mouth. It's heavy and he is a medium sized dog. He has the Benebone Bone, the WestPaw bone, the WestPaw ring that he chews on all of the time and none of those are showing any type of wear so to see this opened/chewed within 15 minutes makes me think this was defective. I am returning and hoping for a refund. DO NOT BUY! Poor value for the money. Not durable. Not chew resistant.

Just what I was looking for to slow my large dog while eating
Size: 1 Pack, Style: Pawbler, Size: 1 Pack, Style: Pawbler
I needed something for my 50-pound dog to slow down her eating. The usual slow-feeder bowls and mats weren't really slowing her down much and I wanted her to have to think a little bit. She's not smart enough for puzzles though. So I got this kibble dispensing toy. My dog is not a chewer so I don't have to worry about her destroying it. LOVE: holds a little more than a cup of kibble, dispenses different sized kibbles, heavy weight so it wobbled around a lot without going too far away, QUIET- I couldn't bear the noise of hard plastic dispensers clacking around and this one is very quiet on our hardwood floors, kept the dog busy for at least 20 minutes. It's really all I was hoping it would be. And, well, as you can see in the video, the cat is happy about it too... As with all of these dispensers, there will be a couple of kibbles left inside that are hard to get out. But that gave my dog something to do overnight. She spent a long time getting that last kibble out. The slight scent they add to the natural rubber is not a problem at all. This dispenser is absolutely worth the money, it's going to last us a very, very long time.

People are doin it wrong
Size: 1 Pack, Style: Cone
Cheap and durable and huge. The bad reviews are from people who aren’t using it right. Step 1) plug hole with a smear of peanut butter. 2) put a low calorie but appetizing mix of whatever you want: yogurt, pate, pumpkin puree, blended with frozen veggies on the walls 3) freeze cone for 30 mins. Hole will be sufficiently plugged to add liquid. 4) fill the rest with water or bone broth and freeze overnight to make it a changing ice block.

Goldilocks of dog toys!
We recently rescued a small/medium bulldog breed (35lbs) and she *loves* toys. Problem was that our other dog's (75lbs) toys were too big. They literally were the size of her. We found that our new baby pooch was constantly raiding our cat's bed with the cat toys. They were more her size and she knew it. I bought her some cat toys (mostly mice with catnip inside and a yarn tail). She *loved* them, but they were too small. She would choke on them and I would literally have to pull them out of her throat by the mouse tail. Scared us too much so we gave (all 20) away to a friend. I scoured Amazon and found these whimsical toys and they are *JUST RIGHT*! Perfect size, have held up several days of chewing and gnawing, squeak pretty well, and my big dog also loves them! These deserve the 4.9 (5.0 but can't please everyone) rating that lead me to purchase them in the first place. Buy with confidence for your medium size (or any size really) fur baby!

Super Cute!!
These adorable toys are incredibly cute! My 9-week-old puppy absolutely loves them. There are so many different options that I can easily rotate them to keep him entertained and prevent boredom. So far, they have held up well against his teething, and I've even needed to wash a few of them in my washing machine due to potty training. They are perfect for small dogs and puppies and offer great value for the price.
