==About Belgian recipes==
'''Belgium''' is the nation of Gourmands rather than Gourmets which translates into big cuisine rather than fine cuisine. In reality this means that along with big portions, you get pretty good quality and a kind of unpretentiousness. The word Gourmandise originally meant gluttony, but like in France it has taken over the above meaning. It is often said Belgium serves food with the quantity of Germany and the quality of France.
Typical dishes include:

[[Moules marinières|Mosselen-friet/moules frites]]: [[mussels]] and [[chips]].

[[Lapin à la gueuze (Rabbit in gueuze)|Konijn in geuze/lapin à la gueuze]]: [[rabbit]] in geuze, which is a spontaneously fermented, sour [[beer]] from the area around Brussels.

[[Salade liégeoise (Bacon and bean salad)|Salade Liégeoise]]: a [[salad]] with [[green beans]], pieces of [[bacon]], [[onions]] and [[vinegar]], associated with Liège.

[[Vlaamse osselappen (Flemish beef)|Vlaamse stoofkarbonaden]]: a Flemish [[beef]] [[stew]], similar to the French Beef Bourguignon, but made with [[beer]] instead of red [[wine]].

[[Waterzooi de poulet (Chicken stew)|Waterzooi]]: (lit. 'boiled water') a rich stew/soup of [[chicken]] (or sometimes [[fish]]), [[vegetables]], [[cream]] and [[eggs]], associated with Ghent.

[[Paling in 't groen (Eel in green sauce)|Paling in 't groen/anguilles au vert]]: [[Eel]] in a green sauce of mixed [[herbs]].

[[Chicons au gratin (Chicory gratin)|Gegratineerd witloof / Chicons au gratin]]: a gratin of [[chicory]] in [[béchamel sauce]] with [[cheese]].

Slices of rustic [[bread]] and an uncovered spread, often [[pâté]] or soft [[cheese]], served on a board and eaten with knife and fork. A typical variety is a slice of [[bread]] with [[quark]] and sliced [[radishes]], often accompanied with a glass of geuze.

Pensen/Boudins: a type of [[sausage]], often eaten with [[potatoes]] and [[apple sauce]].

The Ardennes is notable for Charcuterie, or cold [[meat]] products, particularly [[paté]], which may be made of [[game]] such as [[wild boar]].

[[Breakfast waffles|Waffles]], sometimes eaten as a street snack.

[[Chocolate]], particularly [[pralines]] (filled [[Chocolate|chocolates]]).
