How much rice do people in Europe consume? Still very far from the 268kg in Bangladesh. Source: https://landgeist.com/2022/06/25/rice-consumption-in-europe/

Interesting, thanks for sharing. ๐Ÿ‘

Why does Belgium has such a high rice consumption in comparison to the Netherlands or Germany?

Any special Belgian dish I am not aware of or a high percentage of immigrants?

I honestly have no clue. I mean I know we eat rice, but wouldn't say we eat a lot of it. And while we do have a large immigrant percentage, not a significant amount of those are from regions where eating rice is popular.
