I like to think that fries are our national pride, but foreigners call them French fries, and are confused when you explain they’re actually from Belgium.

So, what is our national pride?

Not a big waffle guy myself, so I guess chocolate then?

    Definitely fries and beer. Switzerland gets away with being an excellent chocolate producer. But Belgian beer is renowned everywhere.

    Fries may be associated with France, ours taste better because we fry them twice.

    Sidenote: am I the only person offended by foreign mayonnaise? It’s somehow always sweet. What the heck?

      That’s the one thing I cannot stand about eating fries in the Netherlands. Half the time I cannot even choose a sauce, and so I am forced to eat their disgusting mayo that is somehow so sweet.
