Belgian cuisine
#1
Belgium is the nation of Gourmands rather than Gourmets which translates into big cuisine rather than fine cuisine. In reality this means that along with big portions, you get pretty good quality and a kind of unpretentiousness. The word Gourmandise originally meant gluttony, but like in France it has taken over the above meaning. It is often said Belgium serves food with the quantity of Germany and the quality of France.

Potato fries, which the Belgians often claim to have invented, are very popular. There are two variants the french fries and belgium fries. The french fries are thinner (6-10 mm) and fried in vegetable oil. The Belgium fries are thicker (12-15 mm) and normaly fried in animal fat. They are called frieten in Dutch or frites in French. The best place to enjoy Belgian frites is at a frituur (friterie in French or informally frietkot in Dutch) which is a temporary construction usually strategically placed in busy squares.
