CUISINE

When German cuisine is mentioned, the first things that come to mind are cakes, potatoes, and of course beer. In this culture, which has a wide variety of meat and vegetables, there is also a very rich variety of beer and wine. 

French cuisine, whose roots go back to the Middle Ages, has a rich culture. Famous for its wines and its many kinds of cheese, French cuisine is known worldwide and is recognized for meat dishes cooked with different sauces and delicacies such as the famous desserts crème brûlée, macaron, and soufflé. 

Belgian cuisine combines the traditions of German and French cuisines. 

Dutch cuisine is not a very rich cuisine, but its cheeses are worth trying. Other flavors are generally fast-food style.
