The Belgian speciality of all times are... the French fries!!! or Freedom fries, as they are called now. So no, French fries are not really from France, and are indeed much better in Belgium! You may find a lot of friteries (French fries shops) everywhere, and it's cheap and good.
Another striking point about Belgium is the amazing quantity of beers they have. It's a real challenge to go to a bar in Belgium and to choose a beer, as the menu shows dozens of them! We tried the Maredsous (my favourite),
the Westmalle,
the Jupiler (too light for my taste), and the Rodenbach (too sweet as they usually mix it with grenadine).
It is just great to enjoy mussels in white wine, with French fries and a beer, close to the North Sea shore!
Belgium is also famous for its sweet food: chocolate of course, but also waffles (not the same as the French ones), spicy bread (Baudelaire was buying his in Brussels), and the speculoos of course, biscuits of various shapes to be drown in coffee.
In conclusion, Belgium is a great country, full of history, culture, lovely places to go to, nice people, and amazing food (and drinks)!

Yo he probado cervezas belgas, pero en San Francisco! en un congresito que presumió tener chelas de todo el mundo! y por cierto: cómo toman los belgas, una chava de la mitad de mi tamaño se zampaba un botella en lo que yo abría la mía!
Ah je comprends mieux pourquoi on t'appelles "La Grosse"!!!lol
