The Belgian cuisine is noticeably influenced by the French and less by the Dutch cuisines. The dishes are big and of a high quality. There's a saying that the Belgian cuisine has German size of the dishes and French fine taste and quality.
All types of game and game birds, meat and charcuterie are popular and despite the lack of any sizeable coastline, fish and seafood play a significant role in everyday cooking. Mussels are particularly well liked and are cooked and eaten in every possible form.
The Belgian fries are considered to be a Belgian invention and therefore probably the most famous dish.
Breakfast consists of bread, butter, jam, cheeses, charcuterie and sometimes eggs and is served with coffee or tea. Lunch is considered the main meal of the day with dinner often being somewhat lighter.

There is no such thing as 'Belgium cuisine', in the same way that there is no such thing as 'Germany cuisine', 'France cuisine' or 'Spain cuisine.
The adjective of Belgium is BelGIAN. I think you know this, because you give recipes for Belgian mayonnaise, Belgian Cinnamon Cookies and Belgian fries above. That's the spirit!

Well, you're right
That's an annoying typo. Thanks for the remark!
