Belgian breakfasts are very similar to the French ones: croissant or donut-like treats with an espresso to go ;) If you eat breakfast at home, it usually consists of bread and jam or chocolate paste, with juice or coffee or good old cereal. Belgians almost never eat heated foods in the morning... Hope you like the answer ! Hey
