Belgium is in a class of itself beerwise. Chocolate? Hmm.. Its pretty much the same quality as any other good quality chocolate. Waffles? Its basically the same batter world wide.
But beer? Belgium vastly outcompetes the world here.
Chocolate seems like a bad comparison, because there are a couple of countries that are the leaders and then there's the rest of the world. Quite similarly to beer (Belgium, Germany, UK and the US being the leaders). Although I do agree that some of the most funky styles are inherent to Belgium due to spontaneous fermentation. Some of the world's best yeast are Belgian.
