Pain à la grecque
The pain à la grecque (literally "Greek bread") is a typical Brussels pastry consisting of a simple rectangle of milk bread, brown sugar, and cinnamon sprinkled with granulated sugar.[1]
The name does not refer to Greece, but is derived from grecht, a word in the local dialect meaning ditch.[2]
