Canada has you both beat. Sorry. I’ve had fries in both Belgium and Holland and it isn’t even a competition imo.
Poutine (thick cut fries, brown gravy, and cheese curds):

Abomination!!!
Canada did not even exist, when we invented fries 
Also, we have “foreigner fries” (aka “freedom fries”) for, well, foreigners.
And the real fries … which you can only get in secret Dutch-only speakeasies. You need to pronounce “Scheveningen” en (even harder) “ui” correctly to get in!
Even Wikipedia does not pronounce “ui” correctly (it’s an AI from Belgium, I guess): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/41/Nl-ui.ogg
Oh, and we have something called “frites sauce”. It looks like mayonaise, but is in fact a very tasty white slimey substance, produced by the Dutch gods themselves. I know, it sounds a little ambiguous, you know, but it’s a fact.
Ooh. Canada vs Belgium. La Fin du Monde vs Chimay and Lindemans. Frites vs Poutine. This is gonna be tough to call.
Holland also makes frites? Who knew? (I actually didn’t but it makes sense, France and Germany do too of course.)

I live in Germany. Trust me: they don’t know how to make proper fries.
I think the French haven’t even heared about fries. Any other information is fake news

Hey now don’t knock my beloved 
. At least they give me the delicious chocolate, mouth watering waffles and best version of hot crisps. All I got from you is processed cocoa, a really good one.

Can’t say anything about chocolate from Belgium. Maybe cause I eat proper Swiss or Swedish chocolate
(Dutch chocolate bars taste cheap)
The “processed cacao” would be Chocomel, right? It’s the best!
It’s even mentioned in our national anthem.

Don’t forget the tiny packaged gouda cheese. Forget the brand.
You don’t mean babybel?
That’s French!
Oh, that’s right. French and Canadian IIRC. Oh well, Holland will just have to try harder

That’s a great idea, repurpose the cheese into a “don’t hit the kids” danger sport.

The Belgium variation is “hit the kids”, so all good (in Holland)

Oof. This is like picking Budweiser to represent American beer. Accurate, but picking a bottom rung representative.

Tell me you don’t like a Lindeman’s Kriek Lambic every now and then 
But yeah. Chimay too really. Actually La Fin du Monde blows both of those away of course.
I like a kriek lambic, but there’s so much better than Lindeman’s available! At least here, maybe not in Japan.

Oh totally here, super popular, Hoegaarden actually has a large pub presence and quite a few of the typical “50 Belgian beers on tap” type places.
It’s just that everyone knows Lindemans and Chimay. Agree they are not top tier (to say the least).
90 minute all-you-can-drink for $18 is dangerous there
I mean sure, Hoegaarden is just a smidge up from Chimay but still
