Interesting question

Belgium beers. not that Heineken headache beer that you can also buy in the us by the way:
Palm or Jupiler.





Dutch good beer: Hertog Jan.

Or the Irish:
Murphys Irish Red


Guinness

but I think you know it.

French fries are a bit different in Holland and Belgium. the really big ones are called vlaamse friet (flamish fries)



we don't dip it in ketchup but in mayonnaise. there is also a difference between Dutch and Belgium/French mayonnaisse (that last one has more vinegar in it)

watch and learn

"Worstenbrood" (sausage-bread would be a translational) is something you can't find anywhere else I guess.





LOL, the first 10 seconds of this movie:

they got them in the US dude!!

the things a regular dutchy misses on holidays:
-hagelslag (chocolate sprinkles)
-pindakaas (peanut butter)
but I'm sure you got this in the us too.

already mentioned:
frikandel:


or better, the frikandel special (with mayonnaisse, curry and unions)



or kroket:


and also the bitterbal witch is like a kroket but it's a ball.



there are normal krokets but also chickensaté and goulash.
