Belgium has a rich beer culture
Belgian beer culture is the entirety of both the variety of beer types and brands, and the quality and method of brewing in Belgium. There are many local Belgian beers, brewed by both the larger established breweries and smaller new craft breweries. Not only is the supply large; so is the demand (the habits of consumption). The beer culture manifests itself, among other things, in the drink menus in most pubs or liquor stores: multiple types of Belgian beer are available everywhere, far more than in neighboring countries. Dozens of types of beer are available in most liquor stores. Many restaurants also have several types of beer on the drink menu.
The share of specialty beers on the Belgian market rose from 10% in the early 1990s to 30% in 2013, and to 50% in 2023. The number of beer types has increased from about 750 to more than 4,000 in 2023. The increase is mainly due to the emergence of smaller regional breweries. Anno 2023, Belgium has more than 400 breweries and more than 300 beer companies, beer and gueuze makers.

Poultry includes the meat of the following birds: turkey, duck, pheasant, guinea fowl, quail, ...
Sheep
Lamb and mutton is meat from sheep used for consumption. There are different classifications to determine what meat still counts as lamb, but generally meat from an animal less than a year old is called lamb. Meat from an older animal is called mutton. This is much fattier and has a distinct oily taste that is not appreciated by everyone.
Pig
Pork is meat that comes from a pig. In the Netherlands, Belgium and elsewhere in Europe, pork is one of the most widely eaten meats, and pork is also widely used in Asian cuisine, for example.
Game
Game or hunting game are animals, mostly mammals and birds, that are hunted. The meat derived from these wild, uncultivated animals is also called game. It is different from wild animals, animals that are not cultivated but live in the wild.
Vegetarian
It is possible to eat vegetarian by omitting meat from the usual meal, but a vegetarian usually adapts the diet even further. A lot of grain products such as pasta or rice are usually used, supplemented by legumes, nuts and vegetables. Many also regularly opt for a meat substitute.

Chocolate
Chocolate is one of the most delectable foods we know. We eat it voraciously for many reasons: comfort, energy or passion. It is a gift with a message for friends, family, loved ones: welcome, goodbye, I love you we have something to celebrate or we need comfort.
Pasta
Pasta is more than spaghetti. Pasta dishes are now wildly popular all over the world. Pasta comes in many shapes and flavors, is incredibly versatile and can be served in dozens of different ways. Students love it because it is inexpensive; chefs take great pleasure in devising light, healthy and mouth-watering sauces; and in families, casseroles are especially made with pasta because they can be prepared in advance and allow unexpected guests to join them. Both simple and special pasta dishes are quick and easy to prepare, making them the perfect choice.
