🍟🇧🇪✨ Say hello to #BelgianFries, the next big thing in the Korean food scene! If you thought 치맥 (chimaek - fried chicken & beer) was a heavenly combo, wait till you try 포맥 (pomaek - Belgian fries & beer)! 🍟🍺 Here’s a little #FoodHistory for you - Belgian fries date back to the 17th century, born in the Meuse valley region of Belgium. The locals were already slicing and frying potatoes long before they became a global sensation. 🥔🔪🍟 Fast forward to World War I, American soldiers stationed in Belgium mistakenly tagged these golden delights as ‘French fries’, all because French was the Belgian army’s official language. 🇫🇷🍟 Talk about a mix-up that overlooked 300 years of Belgian culinary tradition! 😅 In Belgium, fries aren’t just a side dish - they’re a cultural icon! 🇧🇪🍟🎉 From daily cuisine to street food, the Belgian love for fries finds its way into every nook and cranny of the country. The frietkot (or fries shop) is where this love truly shines! 💕 It’s a gathering spot, almost a temple, where people enjoy our national symbol, share stories, laughter, and good times. 🎊 So, Korea, are you ready for the next sensation? It’s time to embrace the #Pomaek experience! 🍟🍺🎉 Let’s keep the frietkot spirit alive and savor every bite of this Belgian treasure. Remember, every fry is a crisp golden ticket to centuries of tradition, culture, and flavor! 💛🍟💛 #pomaek #포맥 #belgianfries #belgianbeerlover #korea #foodtrends
