I like to think that fries are our national pride, but foreigners call them French fries, and are confused when you explain they're actually from Belgium.

So, what is our national pride?

Not a big waffle guy myself, so I guess chocolate then?

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.
