Associated with Belgium by the book is about Belgian cookery (Cooking, Belgian); the recipe itself names no place (confidence 0.4). "Associated with" means only that the evidence named here links this recipe to that place. A recipe isn't labelled as representing an entire country because a source associates it with one, and regional origins are kept where the source gives them.

- Raw egg. Raw or lightly cooked egg carries a risk, above all for children, older people, anyone pregnant or unwell.
Method
- Lay on a dish some sliced tomatoes, taking out the seeds, and sprinkle them over with picked shrimps.
- Then pour over all a good mayonnaise sauce.
- For the sauce: Take the yolk of an egg and mix it with two soup-spoonfuls of salad oil that you must pass in very gently and very little at a time.
- Melt a good pinch of salt in a teaspoonful of vinegar (tarragon vinegar, if you have it);
- add pepper and a small quantity of made mustard.
- In making this sauce be sure to stir it always the same way.
- It will take about half-an-hour to make it properly.
