Belgium really isn't the capital of Brussels.
French fries, despite the name, are of Belgian origin. Served as a replacement for fried fish when the rivers were frozen solid and fish was not available. So yes, next time when you're easting French fries, remember.. you're actually eating small fish.
The same goes for pralines (small chocolate thingies filled with other stuff?). Not invented by some french dude. No, Belgian made, by Mr. Neuhaus

This is absolutely true. I've only met one person who lives in an igloo, but he's in a psychiatric hospital now.Guitar Gamer said:
I've never heard anyone say "aboot" and nobody says "eh" any different than Americans say it.
I've never heard about the milk bag thing though.
And BTW, Canadians are Americans too. We live in North America just like people in the US lol.
