Just like Belgian waffles

The umpteenth +2 in the 'Just Like Belgium' series...
Waffles are eaten a lot at fairs in Belgium, especially the Liège waffles. These are eaten warm.
Popular in tearooms are the Brussels waffles, with a generous dollop of whipped cream, or with jam or sugar (possibly with butter). It is customary to drink a hot drink with them, especially chocolate milk or coffee. There are also softer waffles, which can be eaten warm or cold.
"Remember Belgium and the Brussels Museum
Where we piled on the front steps like stray cavaliers
Our code of living meant little to others
The few francs we saved bought some cheap souvenirs
But the red lights where the catfights make it just like Belgium
See us face down on the floor of another cheap barroom
Streetwalkers sweet talk you out of your spare change
And your sweet madam makes it seem just like Belgium
Just like a hustler when they look attractive
It's nothing more than a slap on the back
The price tag of being just a little bit different
The first rule to learn is to keep your own distance..."
JUST LIKE BELGIUM - Music & lyrics Elton John & Bernie Taupin, 1981.
