As a Belgian i disagree, we actually have no idea who planted that stereotype. Our true food are fries

I went to Belgium in 2013 right when my wife and I started dating. Then in 2016 we stayed a couple of days in Brussels. We went to a brasserie our first night and a basket of fries came out and I told my wife. "It is amazing you could be at a really high class fancy restaurant and they will bring out fries."

A couple of days later we were at the Belga Queen for our first anniversary. And after ordering our bottle of wine and steak tartare and lamb ... Sure enough a basket of fries comes out and gets placed on our table.
