FOOD CULTURE

When German cuisine is mentioned, cakes, potatoes, and of course beer come to mind first. In this culture, which has a great variety of meat and vegetable dishes, there is also a wide variety of beer and wine. 

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

Belgian cuisine combines the traditions of German and French cuisines. 

Although Dutch cuisine is not very rich, its cheeses are worth trying. The other flavors are generally in a fast-food style.
