I'm not Belgian, and I know there are some heavyweight contenders, but I'd say beer. I've never seen range like it; variety, novelty, quality. For my money, Belgium is top of the hops.

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?
That's the one thing I cannot stand about eating fries in the Netherlands. Half the time I cannot even choose a sauce, and so I am forced to eat their disgusting mayo that is somehow so sweet.
Can confirm: foreign mayonnaise sucks.
Especially usa ones, soo much sugar
Complaining about everything. Alternatively, that things work best when we dont't have a functional government :-)

I think objectively: cycling. We are punching way above our relative weight class in that sport. And sure, it's a cultural thing, but still. The sport is no longer some niche playground for our country and a few of our neighbours. It's a very competitive, popular international sport now, and still Belgian riders are a force to be reckoned with.
