Belgium is well-known through out the world for
Ardennes pateé, Belgian chocolate, beers, and of course waffles.
French fries (Dutch: Frieten;
French: Frites)
are extremely popular in
Belgium,
and many people say the best place to have them is from the ubiquitous stalls
found in most Belgian squares,
known as "frituur" or "frietkot"
(Dutch), or
"friture" (French).
The country also has a lot more too offer too - indeed many people
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 dishes include:
- Gegratineerd witloof (French: Chicon Gratin) - Endives (a bitter-tasting form of chicory) cooked in melted cheese.
- Kippenwaterzooi (French: Waterzooi de poulet) - Chicken stew, with potatoes, leeks and carrots, with butter, cream and eggs.
- Konijn in Gueuze (French: Lapin á la Gueuze) - Rabbit cooked in Belgian Gueuze beer.
- Luikse sla (French: Salade Liégeoise) - Green bean salad with onions, bacon and vinegar.
- Mosselen-friet (French: Moules frites) - Mussels and French fries.
- Paling In 't Groen (French: Anguilles au vert) - A soup made with eel and mixed herbs.
- Stoemp - Mashed potatoes, usually with bacon and cream, flavored with herbs and spices. Other root vegetables may also sometimes be added.
- Viszooitje (French: Waterzooi de poissons) - Fish stew (made with bass, carp, eel or pike), with potatoes, leeks and carrots, with butter, cream and eggs.
- Vlaamse stoofkarbonaden (French: Carbonnades Flamandes) - Beef-stew, similar to Beef Bourguignon (French: Bœuf bourguignon), but cooked in Belgian beer instead of in red wine.
