When you cross the mountains and rivers and finally arrive in Belgium, you arrive at the hotel, get the key, open the door, and before you can open your luggage, your stomach begins to growl. But what should I eat when I'm new here? What are the local dishes in Belgium? Although Belgium is famous for beer, chocolate and French fries, there are more ethnic dishes that few people know about, and this traditional Flemish dish tastes really good!

a list of typical dishes in Belgium

1) Belgian French fries with mayonnaise

Belgian French fries are well-deserved, usually packed in conical paper bags, and must be served with Belgian mayonnaise. This kind of mayonnaise is fragrant but not greasy, but if it is not your real taste, you can choose from other seasonings such as garlic mayonnaise, Andaluz and curry.

when it comes to Holland, what do you think of? Windmill? Tulips? Ranch? In fact, Dutch food is also very worth a try.

without further ado, let's take stock of the well-known Dutch cuisine ~

Haring'Hollandse Nieuwe)

Dutch herring is the most famous Dutch cuisine. If you like fish, you must not miss it. You can buy it in many shops and street stalls in Holland.

This dish is made by cleaning herring, turning around and salting it with salt, and then eating raw herring with chopped onions and cucumbers. The way to eat this delicious food is also "primitive". Grab the tail of herring up, then lift the tail of herring when you raise your head to eat, and then raise your head and open your mouth to eat directly.

Of course, we will choose a more "civilized" way to eat it now, that is, cut it into small pieces or eat it with bread/sandwiches between them.

Stroopwafel

Dutch muffins are the most famous and popular snacks in the Netherlands.

It originated in the town of Haoda, south of Amsterdam. There are ancient buildings, canals and lively markets in the town, which is a good tourist attraction.

Dutch muffins are made of butter, flour, yeast, milk, brown sugar and eggs, then baked and sliced. There is sticky syrup between the thin layers, which gives muffins a special sweetness.

croket

a croquet is a fried roll with meat stuffing and bread crumbs. At first, the fried meat roll was made of beef or veal, but now it has more flavors, such as chicken satay, shrimp, stewed beef and even vegetarian.

The meatloaf can be eaten as a snack, but most of the time, the Dutch will put it on sliced white bread or hamburger bread and eat it with mustard.

You can buy fried meat rolls almost anywhere in the Netherlands, some regular snack bars, coffee shops, restaurants or chain fast food restaurants like McDonald's. You can even buy it in some vending machines with hamburgers and snacks in the Netherlands.

French fries (Patat)

French fries in the Netherlands were not invented in the Netherlands, but came from the northern part of Belgium next door. French fries in Holland are thicker than ordinary French fries. Locals like to add mayonnaise, ketchup, curry or peanut butter to French fries.
