Amazing beer, THE best chocolate in the world, fries, .... Those would be the major ones I guess.
Are cuisine is strongly related to the French cuisine. Belgium is known for it's good food. That I can assure you.
Belgians don't exactly eat lunch, why though? They don't eat lunch because they eat a big breakfast and a hearty dinner. For breakfast they eat waffles, brussels or liege (types) and for dinner they eat large meals with meat and veggies. Another thing is there chocolate for dessert. So really they don't eat lunch.
Eggs are consumed mostly as part of other dishes: rich egg and cream sauces, mayonnaise, etc. Occasionally eggs may be part of light supper dish-es. Nuts and legumes are not an important part of the Belgian diet. Vegetables are of great importance in the Belgian diet and seldom served without distinction; they are usually served as a separate course, appropriately sauced and garnished, but often overcooked. Potatoes are a part of almost every lunch and dinner, especially when meat or fish is served. Cabbage, turnips, and potatoes are winter staples. Especially favored vegetables include cabbage, escarole, Belgian endive, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cressonette (water-cress), leeks, hop sprouts, and, of course, the ever-present potato, especially in the form of frites, served with some variety of mayonnaise. Dry breakfast cereals or hot cooked porridges are seldom used. Crusty white bread is preferred either as the "Belgian family loaf" or as crusty small rolls called pistolets, which are a favorite late Sunday breakfast treat. There is only a subtle use of onions and garlic in Belgian cookery and fresh herbs of all kinds are preferred. The favorite herb is chervil, while the favorite spice is nutmeg. The richness of butter, cream, and eggs stands alone as the flavoring in many dishes.
Thanks for asking, hope I helped!

Belgian waffles, white sausage, stoemp (mashed potatoes with leeks) and chevette grise (shrimp) and carbonnades flamades (similar to Beef Wellington). And it was the Belgians that invented French fries. They also make many good beers.
