Description

The Dilbeke residents are nicknamed "Rabbit Fretters". When Emperor Charles V unexpectedly visited Dilbeek, everything was quickly prepared in 'De Gouden Kroon'. Too late, the host noticed that he had forgotten the meal. The menu did show 'Pig on a spit', but in reality the local poacher had emptied his twelve rabbit slings. The emperor enjoyed the delicious dish until his steward discovered the deception. The host had to confess and feared for his life, but the emperor showed mercy. He commanded everyone to call the host and his fellow villagers Rabbit Fretters from now on. This legend was written in 1957 by Robert Vonck.
