They gave the world chips too. If we find out Churchill grew up in Bruge and dropped a "van" from his surname that's about it for English culture!

frites. mm. I'd like to try Belgian food, being as it's next to Holland, and their chips mit knoflooksaus are brill.

phurt...it is well documented in the annals of Horace that cricket was introduced to the Pomgolians by my mob - the Romans

I've heard that a Belgian delicacy is a cone of chips (that's fries to you foreigners) with a big dollop of mayonnaise on top. And then, of course, there's the chocolate . . . maybe a potential holiday destination!
