Interesting, thanks for sharing. π
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.
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 π
PS: but then it should be higher in Luxembourg, so I don't know.
But afaik the nehterlands have a βlargeβ malaysian population and a couple if βclassicβ snacks are variation of east asian dishes (bamischijf, peanut sauce on fries)
