"Coffee is a passion" and frites are so popular at home and as snacks everywhere that coffee and fried potatoes may be labeled Belgian staples. Belgium's national dish is biftek, frites, salade – also the usual lunch for almost everyone. Biftek is not a steak per se but is the general term used to describe any well-trimmed boneless piece of meat, whether it is beef, veal, pork, or horsemeat. The frites are usually eaten with varieties of mayonnaise, such as tartar sauce, Russian dressing or bearnaise sauce, accompanied with pickles or pickled onions. In fact, mayonnaise seems to appear almost everywhere in one form or another. Fish and seafood are loved, deep-fried foods and potato-based soups enjoyed. The famed waterzooi is somewhere between a soup and a stew, made from fish or chicken in a well-simmered broth that is lightly thickened with eggs and cream and served in a soup plate accompanied with potatoes or buttered bread. As it sounds, it is a meal in itself. Sometimes the broth may be served first with the fish or chicken and the simmered vegetables served as a separate course.

The country is famous for its mussels and frites (French-fried potatoes), waffles, and endive.
Fine chocolates are a passion and exquisite chocolatiers dot the marketplace of every city. More beer is consumed than wine ...

In different parts, it is similar to French or German cuisine. They also have a good amount of seafood in their diet too.

All I know is that they make the best chocolates, and some of the strongest (alcohol content) beer.
