Obviously you can’t go to Belgium without getting waffles.

There’s some debate about whether French fries were invented in France or Belgium, but the consensus seems to be that it was probably the latter.
Here’s a weird thing that happened: I saw a location of McDonald’s in the Brussels airport, went in, ordered, and then ate my food. Not so weird, right? Here’s the weird part: it wasn’t McDonald’s. It was a Belgian fast food chain called Quick.
