Actually, French fries is the only good thing we got from Belgium. And the saxophone of course.

No no, place of writing is what matters. You aren't claiming that the place where the saxophone distributor operated is the saxophone's nationality either.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment
