How to Cook dishes from Belgium
Belgium
has is famous throughout the world for a number of food and drink products
that come from the country, including
Ardennes pâté, Belgian beers, Belgian chocolate, and of course waffles.
Additionally, Belgium is also
well known for its
French fries (Dutch: Frieten;
French: Frites),
and some people are of the opinion that the best
French fries in the world come from
stalls,
known as "frituur" or "frietkot"
(Dutch), or
"friture" (French),
inn many Belgian squares.
Cooked Belgian food is also very good too, and has a very good reputation.
It has been said that
say that Belgian cuisine offers the quality of
French cuisine but with the portion sizes that you get in
German cuisine, and there is in fact a certain truth to that.

Some of the most popular Belgian recipes and dishes include:
- Gegratineerd witloof (French: Chicon Gratin) - Endives (a bitter-tasting form of chicory) cooked in melted cheese.
- Kippenwaterzooi (French: Waterzooi de poulet) - A chicken stew, with carrots, leeks and potatoes. Butter, cream and eggs are used in the recipe, enriching the dish.
- Konijn in Gueuze (French: Lapin á la Gueuze) -
Rabbit cooked in Belgian Gueuze beer.
- Luikse sla (French: Salade Liégeoise) - This is a green bean salad, with onions and bacon, and flavored with vinegar.
- Mosselen-friet (French: Moules frites) - Mussels with
French fries.
- Paling In 't Groen (French: Anguilles au vert) - Eel soup, flavored with mixed herbs.
- Stoemp - Mashed potatoes (and sometimes other root vegetables) with bacon and cream, and flavored with herbs and spices.
- Viszooitje (French: Waterzooi de poissons) - A fish stew (eel, bass, carp or pike may be used), with carrots, leeks and potatoes. Butter, cream and eggs are used in the recipe, enriching the dish.
- Vlaamse stoofkarbonaden (French: Carbonnades Flamandes) - A beef stew, somewhat similar to Beef Bourguignon (French: Bœuf bourguignon). However the stew is cooked in Belgian beer rather than red wine.
