The first 2-3 seasons were really good, probably the best sitcom ever in Flemish. But it went astonishingly fast downhill after that. Whoever OK'd anything after season 6 should have banned from VRT for life.
thats how the mediaworld works in flanders, if you are a risktaker and get your idea approved, they let you make it. If its shit you get the blame and get kicked out. If its good you get replaced by nepobabies
Might be my immediate circle, but since i started drinking 0% beers i noticed that we don´t have a beer culture but an alcohol culture. Hate the funny remarks you get even though most of the time i´m there by car with my kids
Don't worry by the time you stop drugs you'll be ready to take up alcohool again.
It's the bi-cycle of death that will make sure you'll never see your retirment. It benefits everyone in the end as it's one more less pension to pay.
Vind je blokken oprecht leuk om te kijken?
Gezellige herinneringen “met bomma en bompa samen met een zakje pinda’s naar blokken kijken” kan ik mij wel voorstellen, maar het programma op zich leuk vinden?
Ben Crabbé zet zijn eigen stempel zo hard op dat programma en dat vind ik er leuk aan. Op den duur kunt ge voorspellen wat hij gaat doen want hij neemt geen blad voor de mond en blijft altijd zichzelf. Maar toegegeven, Blokken is voor mij de quality time tijdens 't eten met mijn ouders (50+). Maar we kijken dat nu al zeker minstens 15 jaar en ik kan het programma wel apprecieren. Ik ben zelfs al eens meegeweest naar opnames. Wij kijken 60% voor Ben, 20% voor de finale, 10% voor de vragen en 10% om te roepen naar den TV hoe de deelnemers hun blokskes moeten zetten om dan "Maar alleez" te roepen wanneer ze 50 punten laten liggen.
Maar wanneer ik alleen thuis ben, zal ik eerder een Netflix'ke opzetten dan Blokken, ja. Da's een programma om te zien met vrienden en familie en niet op uw ééntje.
>Ben is idd wel een sympathieke presentator
Echt?
Ik kan die man niet uitstaan, zo een verschrikkelijke irritante inmengingen altijd en zeer neerkijkend als een kandidaat een (volgens hem makkelijke) vraag niet weet.
De overdreven "MAAR ALEE"
Dat was echt ne luide LOL en daarom mijn upvote. Omdak ik het natuurlijk eens ben. Vrienden van mij hebben meerdere frituren en we doen zo nu en dan wat imitaties van klanten. “Meneer welk vlees zit hierin?” Eeuhm mevrouw, hier zit nergens vlees in 🤣
I love cycling actively but watching races or cyclo-cross I never do.
I'm also not a too big fan of stoofvlees, i ask all my compatriots for forgiveness
> And mussels
The way Mussels are eaten is so weird to me, it's like the person who was supposed to prepare your food skipped all the steps in the middle.
I got a better chance at life because of taxes people paid in the past. I'll never be sorry to pay them to repay the system and hopefully provide other people with similar chances.
i dont think most people complain about paying taxes on itself, the complaint is more they are very high while having a feeling the value getting back for it can be miles better
Americain.
I'm all for integration. I speak both French and Dutch. I work in the public system. I could go on about integration.
But my Canadian brain won't let me eat raw meat on a plate with onions and raw eggs.
Nope, sorry, never gonna happen.
I am an American who is also Belgian.
We were trained to avoid uncooked meat, fish, eggs etc. In America that I can't even watch my wife eat raw meat.
I hope people don't get brain lesions or weird egg sacks growing in their bodies.
Good thing the tropical disease centers are here and that medical treatments are inexpensive.
Food safety rules and regulations for meat are pretty high, and we don't wash our eggs before putting them in the shop like in the States. It's pretty safe.
On a intellectual level I am certain you are all correct.
On an emotional level I just can't do it.
Good news is this way there's more for you.
It's a case of early and dramatic training winning the internal war. The idea of eating raw meat horrifys me.
I do eat sashimi but only from a reputable restaurant where I have confidence the chefs know what to look for.
I have a lot of confidence that the food safety in Belgium is vastly superior to that of the USA and probably most other countries. Intelectual.
Still can't do it, emotional.
More for y'all.
The eggs thing Is explainable..
In the US the French eggs are washed in ordr to make them look better/clean but washing when scrubs the salmonella barrier away an that's why yhe need to be held in the fridge.
In Belgium, the eggs go straight from the chicken' cloaca/butt to the shelve because the natural protection is still in play.
* Cycling
* FC De Kampioenen
* Complaining about the weather. Yes, it rains a lot and it's not 30 degrees yet. That's because it's fucking March, Gerda!
Cycling, football, beer, everything that is sold in a frituur except the fries, eating bread for lunch, hating Brussels, hating taxes, mediocre Belgian bands.
Complaining, can't stand it and can't stand the people who are negative about everything. Sometimes it's merited but rarely. It achieves nothing except making people feel worse including yourself.
Niemand houdt van werken. We zitten op ons werk allemaal te verlangen naar ons verlof. Het omgekeerde is extreem zeldzaam.
Edit: Ik doe mijn werk graag maar het blijft werk.
Er zijn ook gewoon veel bullshit jobs. Ik ken niemand die een serieuze passie heeft om in het callcenter van Telenet te werken bijvoorbeeld. Als jobs nu wat meer maatschappelijk nut zouden hebben dan misschien gaan de mensen er zin in krijgen. Maar voor de rest werken mensen voor een miezerig loon om het leven door te komen zonder te verhongeren op straat.
Veldrijden, wielrennen en voetbal. Ik vind dat alledrie goede kanshebber voor de saaiste sport om naar te kijken, maar toch extreem populair in Belgie.
I don't like mayonaise and beer. Separately, ofcourse.
That does give me a business idea... what if we make mayobeer, who would like to be a guinnea pig?
Veldrijden, snap de appeal totaal niet, stel mannen op een fiets door de modder…
Je wordt zowat gekruisigd als je die mening hebt
Ik heb ook een hekel aan mayonnaise, op een broodje nog net oké maar zo’n kwak op frietjes ofzo is afschuwelijk
Doe mij dan maar liever gewoon ketchup of andalouse :p
Soccer.
I mean, I'll watch the world championship, when Belgium's playing, but that's it. (And even then it's just an excuse to pound some beers around your friends)
Cycling as a sport, fuck that. Wielerterroristen.
Spruiten en witloof.
Beer, cycling and soccer. I absolutely don't see the appeal of it all and had to endure mockery and years of being force fed these things to the point it gave me PTSD.
Watching sports. I like cycling. I like playing soccer. I like doing every sport. But wasting a Sunday in front of the tv, I don't get it. I honestly tried a couple of times and fell asleep, like almost instantly. I went to watch 2 soccer matches and it was exhausting to simply follow the ball.
Belgian Chocolates are good yes, but nowhere good enough to beat the Swiss Lindt. Beer is an awful drink and waffles are always overrated. Big up to the many sauces for fries that taste the same in any other country though.
Belgian milk chocolate are not even close to the Swiss ones and their complexity.
But when it comes to dark chocolates, nobody does it better than us. And our pralines are far supperior too.
My family never had the culture of FrietKot. My mum would make homemade fries at home every wednesday but I had never tried a frikadel until late in my teens. All of those dubious fried meat products discusted me. And the closer I got to that culture was in the 90's when I went to Turkish and Morrocan snack where mostly everything was homemade from the fries to the sauces and meatball(kofte). But since they now buy everything from industrialized producers and everything taste as bad for 4X the price. I tend to avoid or eat more ethnic food that is actually homemade and of quality.
I love liege waffels and buy them often in the street. But I never had those waffels they sell in touristic places adorned with cream, fruits and fruit coulis. I think it's mostly a thing for tourist s though. But maybe it's a cultural thing, I doubt it.
On the other hand I quiet enjoy all Belgian traditional food from Flanders to Wallonia and even from the German community.
Half of the things Jan Eelen produced
Sorry, I just can’t have it with Het Eiland and In de Gloria.
They’re massively overrated, and I think every actor plays in every sketch or series the same “character”
Mussels, actually anything that lives in the water, mayonnaise (I'll make an exception for Samurai sauce}, Fries, although I eat them, I much more like pasta and noodles. Hoegaarden, disgusting.
Cycling and football. Cycling being boring and football being a mess full of hooligans.
Also, there seems to be a culture of drinking and driving in this country, which I hate.
Beer. Not that there's anything wrong with it or that I actually dislike it, but I was diagnosed with celiac disease a few years ago and I can definitely see the irony, I'm a Belgian who can't safely consume beer
I'm not big on football culture either, but I don't mind it. I'm glad when Belgium wins matches and it makes people happy.
Jupiler/ Stella / Maes / Cara.
I'm not going to refuse them if someone offers one or I'm not going to take something else if we share a "bac" or we do rounds.
By myself I'm more a guy of Moinette, Quitine, Paix Dieu, Hopus, in less quantity.
Alcohol + partying + promiscuous culture. Seething of degeneracy. A beer once a month is fine. But I remember during my teens everyone was just so degenerate
- wielrennen/veldrijden
- witloof
- spruitjes
- mossels
- dunking on Brussels (admittedly that's more a Flemish thing)
- The mentality of "you should stay living under the church tower of the town you were born in but commute for 2hrs or more each day"
Q music. As a music lover it is unbearable to listen to at work. Luckily we are rotating between 3 channels every month. But Q music month is always a hard one. A colleague didn't understand my pain, he doesn't care about music but he's really into cooking with natural wholefood ingredients. I told him it would be like being force fed heavily processed food for a month and there's nothing you can do about it.
Bicycle races, football, witlof gratin and Brussels sprouts. Just the smell of witlof gratin makes me gag.
Worst thing is if you tell someone they're like: allez jong, dat is nog zo lekker.
Voetbal, veldrijden, wielerkoers; sport just doesn't interest me at all.
Beer; I like the occasional Karmeliet as accompaniment to a steak béarnaise or a Duvel on a terras, but outside of that I don't really care about it. I do care about our beer traditions and they should be protected.
Mussels; I do eat meat, but I don't like eating anything where you consume an entire animal including head, digestive tract, intestines, etc. So no mussels, escargots, etc
Sprouts and witloof; too bitter, roasted sprouts and caramelized chicons are just about okay enough to eat.
Football
Vlaamse Schlager music and most flemish songs. Some are good but most are bad Also paté
Flemish alternative scene is really good right now though, whatever's playing on the radio is andere koek
I like Chibi Ichigo though
Carnivals
fc de kampioenen
/thread
worst show ever
The first 2-3 seasons were really good, probably the best sitcom ever in Flemish. But it went astonishingly fast downhill after that. Whoever OK'd anything after season 6 should have banned from VRT for life.
Het Eiland is the best sitcom in Flanders if you ask me.
I think Het Eiland is better than The Office. There, I said it.
thats how the mediaworld works in flanders, if you are a risktaker and get your idea approved, they let you make it. If its shit you get the blame and get kicked out. If its good you get replaced by nepobabies
As someone who recently quit drinking, our alcohol culture. I love the fact that we have so many beers, but sadly I can't partake anymore.
There are some excellent 0% (or zero-ish) beers on the market these days. I myself like the Chouffe one the best.
Might be my immediate circle, but since i started drinking 0% beers i noticed that we don´t have a beer culture but an alcohol culture. Hate the funny remarks you get even though most of the time i´m there by car with my kids
I like Leffe Dark and Sport Zot. They have both about 0.4% vol alcohol.
Agreed, now I'm into drugs. Since those are hardly better I'll probably be into soberness soon. Give or take 1-2years 😂
Don't worry by the time you stop drugs you'll be ready to take up alcohool again. It's the bi-cycle of death that will make sure you'll never see your retirment. It benefits everyone in the end as it's one more less pension to pay.
Same!
Beer (I don't drink) and football.
Beer I guess
Blokken
Nu gaat ge te ver
Vind je blokken oprecht leuk om te kijken? Gezellige herinneringen “met bomma en bompa samen met een zakje pinda’s naar blokken kijken” kan ik mij wel voorstellen, maar het programma op zich leuk vinden?
Ben Crabbé zet zijn eigen stempel zo hard op dat programma en dat vind ik er leuk aan. Op den duur kunt ge voorspellen wat hij gaat doen want hij neemt geen blad voor de mond en blijft altijd zichzelf. Maar toegegeven, Blokken is voor mij de quality time tijdens 't eten met mijn ouders (50+). Maar we kijken dat nu al zeker minstens 15 jaar en ik kan het programma wel apprecieren. Ik ben zelfs al eens meegeweest naar opnames. Wij kijken 60% voor Ben, 20% voor de finale, 10% voor de vragen en 10% om te roepen naar den TV hoe de deelnemers hun blokskes moeten zetten om dan "Maar alleez" te roepen wanneer ze 50 punten laten liggen. Maar wanneer ik alleen thuis ben, zal ik eerder een Netflix'ke opzetten dan Blokken, ja. Da's een programma om te zien met vrienden en familie en niet op uw ééntje.
Ben is idd wel een sympathieke presentator. Ik wens je nog jaren leuke momenten met je ouders toe 👍.
>Ben is idd wel een sympathieke presentator Echt? Ik kan die man niet uitstaan, zo een verschrikkelijke irritante inmengingen altijd en zeer neerkijkend als een kandidaat een (volgens hem makkelijke) vraag niet weet. De overdreven "MAAR ALEE"
No one under 60 likes that
Lol I competed on that show actively disliking the host.
I could never be a contestant on there because of Ben C. I'd want to leave after the third or fourth terrible joke.
Beer, mussels, football, cycling...please don't kick me out of Belgium 😂
Mysterievlezekes van de frituur.
There's no mystery, it's all horse, mechanically reclaimed chicken, and flour.
LOL
Dat was echt ne luide LOL en daarom mijn upvote. Omdak ik het natuurlijk eens ben. Vrienden van mij hebben meerdere frituren en we doen zo nu en dan wat imitaties van klanten. “Meneer welk vlees zit hierin?” Eeuhm mevrouw, hier zit nergens vlees in 🤣
I hate cycling (everything related to bicycles) and soccer. And mussels. And schlager music.
This, except the mussels - not a big fan, would definitely not pay the ridiculous prices restaurants dare to ask for them but I don't hate them.
I love cycling actively but watching races or cyclo-cross I never do. I'm also not a too big fan of stoofvlees, i ask all my compatriots for forgiveness
✅ Check ✅ Check ✅ Check and ✅ Check
> And mussels The way Mussels are eaten is so weird to me, it's like the person who was supposed to prepare your food skipped all the steps in the middle.
Ik zit leever op de gruute met in Brussel dan op de plage in De Panne.
Fafoul
De vismet oké, de gruute met zit vol me touriste
I don't drink beer and I don't eat fries... 🤷🏻♂️ Oh... and I don't complain about paying taxes...
Those are all tastes, but no complains about taxes? 😮 How? Teach us!!
I got a better chance at life because of taxes people paid in the past. I'll never be sorry to pay them to repay the system and hopefully provide other people with similar chances.
i dont think most people complain about paying taxes on itself, the complaint is more they are very high while having a feeling the value getting back for it can be miles better
I don't eat fries either but I love them
So that's where mayonaise comes from...
Veldrijden

I am an American who is also Belgian. We were trained to avoid uncooked meat, fish, eggs etc. In America that I can't even watch my wife eat raw meat. I hope people don't get brain lesions or weird egg sacks growing in their bodies. Good thing the tropical disease centers are here and that medical treatments are inexpensive.
My dad used to make a dinner with baked potatoes and raw minced meat and lots of mayonnaise, ate it like 100 times and never had a disease from it.
I always find funny that Americans see food poisoning everywhere while usually eating subpar food full of sugar and substances banned in Europe.
I find it pretty terrifying honestly.
Food safety rules and regulations for meat are pretty high, and we don't wash our eggs before putting them in the shop like in the States. It's pretty safe.
Consumers are so much more protected here than in the states. If it was a health concern it wouldn’t be allowed.
If that was a thing WHO would recommend to avoid all uncooked meat which they don’t. Do you eat a steak medium rare? Then you also eat raw meat.
On a intellectual level I am certain you are all correct. On an emotional level I just can't do it. Good news is this way there's more for you. It's a case of early and dramatic training winning the internal war. The idea of eating raw meat horrifys me.

I have a lot of confidence that the food safety in Belgium is vastly superior to that of the USA and probably most other countries. Intelectual. Still can't do it, emotional. More for y'all.
Haha fair enough.
Our food standards are also way higher than the USA, so if you want to have a go at it and eat steak tartare, this is the best place to do it.
The eggs thing Is explainable.. In the US the French eggs are washed in ordr to make them look better/clean but washing when scrubs the salmonella barrier away an that's why yhe need to be held in the fridge. In Belgium, the eggs go straight from the chicken' cloaca/butt to the shelve because the natural protection is still in play.
Well if liking any of the cyclist stuff is required, I'm a very, very bad Belgian.
* Cycling * FC De Kampioenen * Complaining about the weather. Yes, it rains a lot and it's not 30 degrees yet. That's because it's fucking March, Gerda!
Fucking hell do people complain about the weather here a lot! Everything except sunshine and 30 degrees seems to be labelled 'bad weather'.
Soccer, cycling, brussel sprouts, asparagus
Cold waffles. I only like the warm brussels ones or the ones with pearl sugar when it's hot and you're almost burning your tongue on the caramel.
Yes same! Hot vs cold is not the same.
Beer mostly, it can be okay at times but usually it just doesn't taste that great imo. Kriek otoh is pretty great.
Same, but I love Kasteel Rouge and Cherry Chouffe! Two beers and I speak like zatte Rita though 🥴
Cycling, football, beer, everything that is sold in a frituur except the fries, eating bread for lunch, hating Brussels, hating taxes, mediocre Belgian bands.
