Belgium.
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
- Take some chopped veal and with it an equal quantity of chopped beef, and one-quarter the quantity of breadcrumbs from a fresh loaf.
- Bind all with a raw egg, adding salt and pepper, and, if wished, some blanched and chopped almonds.
- (Put a large piece of butter both above and below.) Shape the meat into the form of a loaf and put it in a dish, with a large slice of butter above and below it.
- Cook it for about half-an-hour.

- Gabrielle Janssens.]
