Right.

Apart from:
putting the kybosh on the Kaiser
making brilliant chocolate
making beers (or possibly bears) which I've always found undrinkable
Tin-Tin
waffles
The Belgian Congo :-(
Chocolate
Jaques Brels (who?)
Georges Simenon
Eddie Mercks
Hercule Poirot
Django Reinhardt
providing somewhere finally to defeat Napoleon
getting rid of your spare currency
Chocolate
HetBrabant Volsokest (who?)
Breughel (pere et fils)
chips with mayonnaise (or worse still, salad cream)
and chocolate

...what have the Belgians ever done for us?
