Belgians don’t even eat waffles when in Belgium, it’s mostly tourists that do. It’s a total myth.
Have you actually eaten American food? It’s mostly terrible
Waffle addiction is a thing. Kids are starting earlier and earlier.
Ah yes. Another post for everyone to act as if they were the experts of the universe and judge every other nation, except their own, in order to feel superior.
Do they?
Maybe they felt like having a waffle?
I imagine it’s the same with most countries.
> New research has revealed that 72% of Brits would not try any different food to their usual cuisine while on holiday.
All of these people are way too well dressed to be Belgian, in Europe most guys only wear a suit for their funeral.
That says more about your local food than it does belgians.
Game recognizes game 👍
The amount of westerners that I’ve seen in Japan, a country with amazing cuisine, just to go to mcdonalds day in day out.
When you go abroad it can be interesting to check if your home country’s cuisine is being made properly
Are you comparing a franchise with sugar with a little coffee in a country that is one of the best for coffee
Maybe they don’t care that much about eating and drinking. Their purpose of visit isn’t eating. Maybe they like walking around place that they have never been. Their choice, not yours.
Bc American food is junk food
I don’t think one can find good waffles in the US, even from a waffle stand.
I thought it was a “frietkraam” that I could get.
But if you see something from your own country you do ask yourself;” would this be the real thing?”
Also in case off MD or star buck or… there a standard global so if you are in a hurry and you wanne be sure what you get and how long it takes. Then those brands are the go.
Because they like waffles.
Is this waffle en dinges?
Well played OP, I hope the people who are defensive here (and would have a right to be so if this wasn’t mocking the other thread)
Understand how stupid that post from the Italian guy was.
They might be curious how their food tastes abroad. I live abroad and I’m always eager to try local interpretations of Polish cuisine, if there happen to be any.
Why is it that after a 12 hour flight across the world my heart and stomach craves Döner Kebab?
Because Home.
Also curiosity on how they do the Döner Kebab there.
Make de wafels, make de friends!
I get your reference (the Starbucks post), but you’re missing the point. This is like an American tourist trying the local coffee. If there was a Belgian chain called “wafflebucks” and it had a huge line of Belgians lining up outside a branch in the US, it would be comparable (standardized product with little variability between markets).
That being said, I don’t see the problem of Americans having Starbuck or other fast food when abroad, and the phenomenon is not limited to americans. I can understand you want something familiar once in a while when traveling.
How could anyone possibly say no to a Waffle.
wAt
Haha well done
Bc it’s healthier than the average us meal?!
Please do this meme for the British now. Maybe a restaurant that serves white bread and canned beans.
Oh no, this is going to be a very long thing, posting similar things for differentcountries, isn’t it?
Honest thought:
Waffles are different everywhere.
McD is spending billions to be ***exactly the same*** taste all around the globe.
Which why I totally understand US-americans eating it in europe. You have to be sure it is the same.
Belgians got good waffles why does this offend you 🤦♂️
We’re not that much into waffles…
Just to blame the American waffles.
bitter american man is bitter
​
those are not even belgians
The thing is, you don’t fly to the US because of the food. There are exceptions but generally the American food is just nothing compared to anything you get in most of Europe.
To compare
Local food in the US, to us, it’s Nothing we really want to try. Sorry, but you guys needs to learn how to Cook and to have some standards about food. I went to NY last year for two weeks and tried to eat in restaurants and similar, god it was bad. The one time it was great, it was when eating at little Italy at ground zero.
Same reason Americans go to McDonald’s when away.
Oh I’m definitely trying the danishes of I visit a new place hahaha!
It’s abit hard not to, when 90% of american food is descended form european quisine.
I was visiting Tokyo a few years ago, and we stumble on a bar selling only Belgian beers. We wanted to have a look at their list of beers.
TLDR: We spent around 250€ in Belgian beers in Tokyo 2 days before our flight back
