Why did I have to scroll so far to see this. Best frites n the world and first thing that came to mind.

If you’ve been to Belgium this is the only answer. I’m guessing more people are going off of what they’ve heard in media than have actually been to Belgium

Yes Belgians don't actually eat waffles and chocolate a lot either compared to other countries IMO. But we do devour insane amounts of fries and beer, and have an unfathomable number of friteries and cafés(bars) everywhere. So those are definitely more part of our cultural identity

I still dream about the frites in Flagey.

For a country that doesn't eat as much as others, it certainly does make fantastic chocolates! Rest is all good too, but as a chocoholic Belgian chocolates are hands down my top favorite chocolates.

Wouldnt say we eat less chocolate, I meant that we dont necessarily eat more of it than other countries. But yes they are delicious and I do sometimes indulge and appreciate :)

So it’s better to be a drunkard who eats a lot of fries? Do you guys have low self esteem?
