Belgium has a diverse diet, as it proudly uses the food from the three cultures, Flemish, French and German inhabiting the country. The most famous Belgian plate back home is without a doubt Belgian waffles.
Belgian waffles come in two shapes, Brussels style and Liege style. Brussels style waffles have a thin batter and are rectangular shaped and are usually coated with powdered sugar. Liege style waffles use a thicker batter and are like a cake with unevenly shaped edges.
Waffles in Belgium are not typically served as part of a meal, rather they are sold on the street as snacks. The waffles are served warm as they are usually made shortly before you order them.
The food is prepared by vendors on waffle irons in either small storefronts or on the street. They are the most common fast food because they are easy to make and are popular among locals and tourists.
