You should add BELGIAN Fries as a culinary speciality. The world has to learn that fries are NOT FRENCH! :D:D

You should add fries, but don't make people specify Belgian. Great quiz!

Great quiz - really fun! A few suggestions: (1) accept "national government" along with "federal"; (2) accept "Wallonian" along with "Walloon"; (3) add mussels/moules and waterzooie to culinary specialties. Mussels, at the very least (maybe waterzooie could be a bonus). Shout out to my Walloon husband for teaching me 90% of what I knew on this one!

The mussels we eat in Belgium are in fact Dutch, so they shouldn't be added. :)

Shouldn't Flemish be accepted as an official language, even if only as an alternative to Dutch?

Maybe you should add that you mean the biggest cities. Great quiz!

@Jelle: I agree with the comment about cities as I was surprised that Ostend didn't appear in either the cities or port categories!

There are many other specialities like speculoos or Choco Méli, but you had to make a choice. Nevertheless, even if Belgium is known for its beers, this is not really specific to this country. For us their neighbours, fries, chocolate, speculoos and mussels are more typical.

Thanks for your comments! I updated the game: -I added 'National Government' along with Federal -Wallonian is now acepted for Wallonian Government -I also added mussels, speculoos and waterzooie as a bonus answer. -Cities and Ports are now Biggest Cities and Biggest Ports. Things I didn't change: -Flemish is not a language. It's just a dialect, and not an official language. -Ostend doesn't have such a big port. It's just the biggest city at the Belgian coast. Thanks for your feedback and appreciation!

You should add frites for fries. Also, what about Carbonnade for the culinary.

Flemish is not even a dialect, but a group of dialects :)

Herman van rompuy isn't any longer Belgian's Prime Minister. Since 25 November 2009 it is Yves Leterme. Van Rompuy is now the European 'President'.

Prime Minister should be updated, There has not been any proper government since elections were held more than a year ago. Belgium even snatched the world record for the longest time without a government which was previously held by Iraq.

Prime Minister needs to be updated again. The new PM is Elio di Rupo.

Shouldn't be Ostend be added as a port? And why does "Luxemburg" (dutch) works for the province and not for the country? and "(Belgische) frank" should be added as alternative for franc.
