Asparagus recipe accidentally ended up in Belgian law

Attorney Morgan Moller wanted to read through the amendment to the 2014 royal decree revising drug guidelines, he said on Twitter. He had probably expected information on the definition of the conditions of admissibility, deadlines for the practical modalities, requests for price fixing and other legal decisions.

Instead, the lawyer came across the text: “Preheat oven to 250 ° C, thermostat 8-9”. It continued with the various steps for cooking gratinated asparagus. At the end of the recipe, the reader is asked for a “Bon Appétit” before the normal legal text is continued.

“Laws, decisions, recipes” in Belgian law gazettes

Moller praised the Belgian government for its entertaining legal gazettes: “I’ve had enough of people saying that the Belgian gazette is useless. You can find everything there: laws, decisions, recipes, whatever,” the lawyer wrote.
