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?

Can confirm: foreign mayonnaise sucks.
