The legend of the “Flamiche Dinantaise” would simply be born after the fall of a farmer from
Romedenne. By going to Dinant in order to sell the products of her farm, a farmer fell and
the products were mixed (eggs, butter and cheese) in her bag. She ran to a friend who was
cooking her bread. She made a pie on the dough plug, then the farmer put the mixture and
cooked the whole in the oven the flamiche; the flamiche was born.
In 1956 was created
the Brotherhood of the
“Quarteniers Flamiche
Dinantaise”. Its essential
purpose is to make the
specialties known as well as
the charms of the vicinity of
Dinant and the regional
culinary traditions.
A competition of the biggest
Flamiche’s eater is organized on the first
Saturday in September on the occasion of
the clearance to sale before Saint Nicholas in
the neighborhood of Dinant. It is the
brotherhood that organizes this contest.
