In this Travel Bug Robert episode, Robert travels to the Friet Museum in Bruges. For all those non-Dutch speakers, “Friet” means “fry.” But don’t dare call it a French fry. Those golden taters came from Belgium, not France. The museum takes you through the history of the potato, and there is a surprising amount to learn. For instance, at one point in history, potatoes were considered to increase debauchery in people. Crazy. A trip here wouldn’t be complete without tasting some delicious fries. After all, book learnin’ can only teach one so much about food. At some point, it’s time to eat. See more travel videos at tripfilms.com

In this Travel Bug Robert episode, Robert travels to the Cork Butter Museum in Cork, Ireland. Museum curators rarely base exhibitions solely around dairy products, which makes the Cork Butter Museum unique, ’cause everything is about butter. The museum follows the history of butter in Cork, from the days of Irish kings to preindustrial manufacturing to the 20th Century when dairy farmers had to market their product to the world in the changing global economy. Learning about Cork’s butter history provides a wonderfully unusual approach into learning about the entire history of Cork. The only downside: no butter samples.
