We lived in Belgium for three years while hubby was at NATO. Loved it. I always tell people about the beer, fries and chocolate too. 😆 But the writer left off the waffles! People don’t know you can find waffle cafes with a mouthwatering selection of toppings. 😋 Sooooo good. But I disagree with the whole loving mayo on fries business. 🤢 My hubby, son and younger daughter were all seduced to that dark side and I still live with the results.
My family lived in Belgium for a few years when I was growing up, and the times my parents and I got waffles as a special treat are a core childhood memory. My favorite way to have them was with chocolate sauce. The first time I was served a so-called "Belgian" waffle in America, it actually made me angry that they had the audacity to call it that when it was so far from the real thing. This was shortly after we moved back here when I was still feeling homesick for Belgium, so the disappointment hit harder than bad food normally would. It was also memorable for being the first, but sadly not last, time I was disappointed in my country to the point of tears. I was 11.
Gonna have to disagree with you about the mayo on fries, though. That combination is delicious.
