The new young pegs of 2025 were immediately approved by the Maatjes Committee: “The quality depends on the temperatures in the spring. With a warm spring, the young pegs can eat completely full and you get nice fat buddies. That is also the case this year, thanks to the soft spring.”
Mayor John Crombez (Vooruit) also tasted the first buddies. “In the meantime I already have a few inside and I have to say that they are good greasy.” Meter and Peter Wendy van Wanten and Luc Caals are also enthusiastic. “They are indeed very good, as it should be.”
For another four days you can taste the buddies during the buddy happening on the Visserskaai Ostend.
