- Taste mussels. Mussels are a firm favorite and a side-dish of Moules et frites/Mosselen met friet (Mussels with French fries). The traditional way is to cook them in a pot with white wine and/or onions and celery, then eat them up using only a mussel shell to scoop them out.
- Taste waffles. Waffles are often eaten as a street/ take-away snack while shopping and therefore can be found at stands on the streets of the cities.
