based on what, food shortages?

Fuck Belgium. Fuck all the Germanys.

The only people who disagree with this post ahven't been to Belgium.

>>16911890
This. Imagine not liking double fried fries, with a good medium rare steak and a beer with an actual taste.

>>16911897
>double fried fries
what does that even mean

>>16911880
>food shortage

>>16911865
shit doesn't even look that good

>>16911902
Fry potatoes, take them out of the fryer and shake them up, dunk them back into the fryer again.

>>16911902
It means the fry the fries twice. That can not be a hard concept to grasp.

>>16911865
>Stella Artois
>good

>>16911911
I guess I figured their cuisine was developed a good while ago, given that most of Europe considers the 1400s recent history, and that back then they had to work with very little. If not, I can see no excuse for their food.

>>16911922
happy?

>>16911918
>>16911920
and you can tell that was done by a shitty photo

>>16911887
Belgians are fucking french.

>>16911932
It's just a best case scenario assumption. You can't quite tell the steak's doneness, either.

>>16911932
I can tell that was done because I know that's how they do it in Belgium you dumb fuck

>>16911935
I thought they where dutch...

>>16911932
In what fucking world am I supposed to know they deep fried, let cool, and re-deep fried those extremely standard looking fries by sight alone?

>>16911946
Who the fuck said you was supposed to see it on the picture? Is everybody on this fucking site autistic??? Good lord.

>>16911887
>>16911935
>>16911943
The low countries are enough of a bizarre mishmash with some of their own distinct culture thrown on top, to the point where there's really no point in not referring to them as their own unique things.

>>16911965
>Is everybody on this fucking site autistic???

>>16911983
>I am autistic therefore everyone is

>>16911865
Where's the andalouse sauce?

>>16911943
Everyone knows Belgium is a fictional, vaguely European place. Like Wakanda is for Africa, Narnia for fantasylands, Transylvania for vampires, or Wyoming for cowboys. It doesn't actually exist.

>>16911992
Then who invented french fries?

>>16911975
>low
that's kind of a subjective term. how low is the country exactly?

>>16911986
I don't want to alarm you, but you're surrounded by autists on a website that attracts a lot of autists. If you don't want people to assume you're an autist, you might want to go elsewhere.

>>16911997
Spain, obviously.

>>16912000
but i thought this was anouther blog site

>>16911998
>Historically, the term Low Countries arose at the Court of the Dukes of Burgundy, who used the term les pays de par deçà ("the lands over here") for the Low Countries as opposed to les pays de par delà ("the lands over there") for the Duchy of Burgundy and the Free County of Burgundy, which were part of their realm but geographically disconnected from the Low Countries. Governor Mary of Hungary used both the expressions les pays de par deça and Pays d'Embas ("lands down here"), which evolved to Pays-Bas or Low Countries.

>>16911865
>Stella
>Thin plastic fries
>Small badly browned steak

That pic is pathetic.
t. Belgian

>>16912045
This random pick from an airport food court is pathetic? consider my jimmies rustled.
what is wrong with stella though?

>>16912049
the flavor

>>16912052
I like the flavour. Been a while since I had it though so who knows. It was just the only good picture I found with beer, fries and steak.
What belgian beers would you recommend then?

>>16912003

>>16912067
Belgians don't make good pils the Czechs/Germans are much better at that, go through the trappiste beers to get an idea of what Belgian beer is. Then try a lambic/gueuze if you're feeling adventurous.

I just bought this for tonight.

t. Belgian.

>>16912052
The lack of it.

Stella is for export

but yeah there is something un-Belgian about the picture
the too small portion, the lack of grease, the Stella, the lack of sauce.
Put twice more fries, and thicker, add tartare sauce, and peanuts with the beer, which should be more something like a Leffe or a Duvel.

Belgian food? This is how it should look.

>>16912290
hot damn jupiler is some shit beer, like 1664 level crapola

>>16911865
>steak
>chips
>salad

Anon this is the most ubiquitous shit in australia, and if it's common here it can't be that fancy

most countries have steak, fries and salad as a staple retard.

>>16912471
Most countries invaded Belgium.
Stop stealing food.

>>16911897
>beer with an actual taste

yeah, the refreshing taste of day old piss

>>16911911

The absolute fucking state of that shelving unit

>>16911997
Only French speaking Southern Belgians were allowed to be officers until the end of WWI.

They were the ones with decent food.

Ameritards thought they were French. The entire world laughed.

>>16912530
imagine having the most powerful nation on earth not be able to tell you apart from unrelated countries and thinking that makes you smart instead of irrelevant

>>16911897
>>16911918
>>16911920
Most places will "double fry" their fries, even fast food places.

>>16912309
>fancy
I said based, not fancy. Must be hard to read upside down.

>>16912530

>>16912544
they just really don't get how little we care about them.

Can any belgians ITT give me good recipes for your huge waffles? I had a real one recently from a patisserie and it was delicious. Thank you ahead of time

>>16913277
there's no subsitute for American waffles if you want the energy to go chopping down some trees on Saturn's Day

>>16913277
https://en.liegetourisme.be/liege-waffle-gaufre-de-liege.html

The pearl sugar makes the waffle so try to find some.

>>16913277
There are many different kinds of waffles in Belgium. The ones from Liège which anon above me linked are basically soft waffles with cores of sugar spread throughout which ooze out and caramelize when it's cooked.
The huge ones I suppose is referring to the Brussels waffles, which are very light and crunchy. This seems like a halfdecent recipe for them: https://bakingwithbutter.com/belgian-waffles/
Though I'd add a couple grams of fine sugar, an egg or two more and use whole milk.

Last recipe would be what we call butter waffles, which is basically equal amounts of whole milk and flour, half of that amount in butter, 1/5th white sugar, 1 egg for every 250g of flour and some yeast. Mix the milk and butter, take some of this mixture and add the yeast. Add the yeast mixture and egg yolks to the dry ingredients, slowly stir in the rest of the buttery milk until consistent. Add in beaten egg whites, let rise for half an hour, gently stir it a bit, let it rise for another hour and you're ready to bake them.

Surely you could always just cook the fries right the first time?

Yeah French cuisine is pretty good.

>>16911865
That's probably the most generic meal ever put together

>>16911997
The French, dummy. It's in the name.

>>16911930
yes

>>16911865
That's clearly a classic Australian meal with a yuro beer down the bowlo hitting the pokes with the lads on a Sunday arvo

Hmm, I honestly can't think of another country that does steak, french fries, really boring salad, and even more boring lager.

>>16913541
Belgian fries (which the ones in the OP aren't) are thick-cut. They would burn before the centre was done. First you fry them at 150C until they are cooked through. Then you cool them down completely. Then you fry them again at 180C until crispy and golden brown.

every dish that has been posted in this thread is beef and french fries
surely there are other pictures of belgian cuisine on the internet?

>>16912290
>>16912293
Looks like southern US BBQ fare to me

>>16912290
>>16912293
how is this so much different than English, American, or Australian food?

>>16916732
How is Taco Bell so different from Mexican cuisine??

>>16911911
>pastry pastry pastry pastry pastry

>>16911890
yes cause a steak with fries is exclusively Belgium
