Interesting, thanks for sharing. ๐
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?
We have a lot of people of Turkish decent, so maybe that's part of the explanation? Not sure though.
In Belgium, about 2.0% (220000) have Turkish citizenship or (partial) ethnicity/ancestors, whereas in Germany, it's 4.2% (3.5-4mio people). That can't be it.
I'm a Portuguese in Belgium and just had rice, there are many Portuguese here as well ๐
PS: but then it should be higher in Luxembourg, so I don't know.
