Many years ago I once spent a night, if you can call it that, in little town in Belgium similar to Ghent. The club didn't open until 1am and we stayed until at least 5 or 6am then had our obligatory pomme frites with mayo.I'm sure this scene continues today all across Belgium but Ghent has recently taken a step in a new direction.
From the BBC...
The Belgian city of Ghent is about to become the first in the world to go vegetarian at least once a week.
Starting this week there will be a regular weekly meatless day, in which civil servants and elected councillors will opt for vegetarian meals.
Public officials and politicians will be the first to give up meat for a day. Schoolchildren will follow suit with their own veggiedag in September.
Around 90,000 so-called "veggie street maps" are now being printed to help people find the city's vegetarian eateries.

Didn't we used to do this some years back? Although not strictly vegetarian, since fish was allowed. I think we called it "Friday"
