We Dutch always make jokes about Belgium, but to be fair, they got us beat with everything that truly matters in life: better food, better beer, better music, better footballers. If only they would learn how to pave roads....

There are actually 3 distinct different kinds of waffles we have regularly. The ones you showed in the video are Liège waffles. They are made from a risen dough with sugar pearls in it. We usually don't put anything on it. Another kind is Brussels waffles, which are made from more of a pancake batter and we usually do put whipped cream on these. The third kind can only be found at fun faires and markets and those are the Laquemans or Galetten. They are my absolute favorite: a crispy thin waffle that's sliced open and filled with a dark syrup with molasses.

*Excellent list, Mark.* Belgium is one of my highest rated food countries! *waffles* - Folks need to know there are two kinds of Belgian waffles - Brussels and Liege. Brussels are made with a thin yeast batter so the waffles are perfectly rectangular, light and airy. Liege are made with a ball of dough with chunks of sugar; oval with irregular edges; thick and chewy. Both delicious. *white asparagus* - In season you have got to try the asparagus a la Flamande...often served with frites. 😆 It’s a national dish. Perfect lunch.

Belgian people don't eat waffles with chocolate sauce, cream or strawberries, it's a tourist thing. And for the veggies : there is not just muscels, fish, beef stew, rabbit, horse (!) etc but you'd find a lot of veggie/world cuisine snackbars in the major cities which have veggie/vegan options. Like poke bowl, pizza, pasta, falafel, currys, veggie durum (rollo) ...

In my youth we had alot of family dinners with pans of mussels. So I grew up with mussels and I always found them fantastic. Mussels steamed in Trippel Beer along with fries is still in my top 3 most favourite dishes, you can wake me up for that! Mussels and also waffles is not only typical for Belgium but also The Netherlands. But as a Dutchman I have to admit the Belgians absolutely nail the way they prepare and serve mussels and serve waffles. They do it better then we do (personal opinion). Also a stoofpotje is an absolute marvelous Belgian dish. I live about 20 KM away from the border with Belgium but food and drinks-wise I think my taste belongs in Belgium :) I take my Dutch hat off for our Belgian friends. Respect :)

The Belgian waffles you can buy on the street used to be without toppings. Most Belgians still prefer them that way (they are sweet enough). I like them hen they are still a bit doughy inside. Sometimes they prebake a few (for the busy moments) and warm them up when you ask them, but this way they taste less well.

Mussels are normally, and it's the best way anyway, eaten with brown bread. Great anyway to mention the other classic/traditional foods. Rabbits in prunes is delicious, Waterzooi is heavenly, Ox tongue in madiera saus with mashed potatoes blows your mind out, and not forgetting Hutsepot with pig tail,feet and snout should be on the top of your list.

Belgium is the European contry I have visited the most, a couple of times a year for the last 20 yeats and I enjoy most of the food. Unfortunately I'm allergic to mussels, so I never eat that. But I love tgh charcoal grilled bbq ham hock. My favorite place fot that was the Brussels restaurant Aux Paves de Bruxelles which unfortunately hasn't survived the pandemic. I'm not too much of a beer drinker, but I love Belgian lambic /geuze.

The last dish with chicken is called vol-au-vent (French [voll o vawn]). Other great dishes to try out are Gentse waterzooi (rich broth with fine vegetables and chicken), Liege meatballs (meatballs served with a gravy made with apple syrup) and asperges à la Flamande (asperagus prepared in cleared butter, eggs and parsil). Do try not to eat at the most touristic sites as these - like everywhere - often serve less quality and charge more… As for beers… what can I say? Even I haven’t tried all of them - there’s simply too much good stuff. Especially local or micro breweries have some excellent products made… My favourites: - Karmeliet 8.4% - Duvel 8.5% - Keizer Karel 8% (as shown in the vid) - Steenuilke 6.5% - St Bernardus 12 10% - Chimay Blue 9% - … Do visit Gent, Brugge, Ieper, Aalst, Kortrijk, Liege, Dinant, Antwerp, …

The reason Belgian chocolate is so good is because it's made with 100% pure cacao butter. No other cheap vegetable oils allowed. By law. You wanna use vegetable oils; no problem but you will not be allowed to name that 'Belgian chocolate'. It's just 'chocolate' in that case. Beware; this kind of chocolate is being sold in Belgium. So make sure to look for the 'Belgian chocolate' markings on the package. Don't expect the cheapest chocolate in the supermarket is 'Belgian'... Also; in Belgium, we tend to grind the beans finer so the chocolate will have that typical smooth, soft texture. The machines that can grind that fine are also invented in Belgium.

The best reaction so far was in New York when I asked if the tap water was okay to drink and the man just looked at me and my brother with a look of utter horror at the concept and asked if we were from London...still not sure about the correlation but the water was perfectly fine! 😂🤷‍♀️

Nice one, Wolter. FYI - the friets/frites are either double or triple fried. First to seal the fry. Second to cook the fry (fries can be served after this stage). Third for extra crispiness (what often happens at the best frietkots). Each frying uses a different oil temperature. Actually, the cooking starts earlier. The friet are normally par-cooked first by blanching (placed in small batches into boiling water, removed and chilled in iced water, before being allowed to dry thoroughly). The blanching stops the starches in the potato fry from caramalising to an unappealing dark brown colour thereby maintaining a lovely, evenly golden, fry appearance.

Thanks Mark for another great video. Just a tip and a request: Moules et Frites are indeed amazing and I could eat bucket loads of mussels (my favorite is with wine, garlic and herbs). In terms of pronunciation, you did really well. But you dont say Moules, only Moul (the "es" is silent). For all your videos it would be very helpful to mention when you where there. So much has changed since COVID-19, and knowing if you where there before the pandemic, or now, would really help to judge how the situation is in a particular destination.

A general tip I would like to give Is to ask a local what are the best restaurants are espesially in places like Brugge becouse many are tourist traps. I know we are not the most friendly people and like to keep to ourselves. That doesn't mean we can't help you.

Important warning! Yes, mussels are great, but they're not available all year round. They are more or less a seasonal product. The new season starts in the first half of july and they're available until early spring (+/- april), but towards the end the quality might drop off somewhat. For that reason those last few months you will find them in stores to prepare yourself, but many restaurants will not put them on their menu's anymore. So if you come in march 'till early juli, it might turn out to be impossible to find mussels. The same goes for a few vegetable based Belgian specialties that have not been mentioned in the clip. First we have the asparagus, which are typically Belgian. They are used in a variety of dishes, often combined with (white) fish, or in soup. They taste fantastic, but they are only served from april to june, which coincidently largely overlaps the period that there are no mussels. We also have a very unique oven-dish with chicory: we call it "gegratineerd witlof" ("chicory with grilled cheese") or just "witlof in de oven", meaning "chicory in the oven" (not very far fetched huh). It's pre-coocked chicory rolled in cooked ham, covered in a béchamel sauce and topped with a cheese grating (and then obviously put in the oven to grill the cheese), generally served with mashed potatoes. Not everybody likes the bitterness of the chicory, but if you do, it's amazing. This dish is mostly available during the winter months.

The concept of making fries may have started in Belgium. It used to be that they would fry fish, but in winter months (as rivers froze), potatoes were the food of choice. In addition, I would recommend waterzooi, a cream, egg yolk, and broth-based Flemish soup made with chicken, or fish. Crepes are another option.

Belgium is on my interest list due to an upcoming gymnastics world championship. I won’t get to go to the event, but the country and learning Dutch are both of high interest to me for some other year.
