# Pistolets and charcuterie

Belgian [pistolets](http://translate.google.com.au/translate?hl=en&sl=nl&u=http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistolet), or kadetjes, are unrivaled anywhere in the world. They come in different sizes and origins: white, brown, light, crusty,… They are always eaten day-fresh.   
Pistolets are always covered with something like [charcuterie](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcuterie), cheese, prepared spreads, confiture (jam) or chocolate spread. Optionally, you'd add fresh butter (or margarine if you really have to).
