How do you travel from Brussels to Ghent by train?
Most easy is the train. You can take the Intercity train to Oostende or Knokke/Blankenberge from the three main Brussels stations (Noord/Nord, Centraal/Central and Zuid/Midi). After leaving Brussels Zuid next stop afther half an hour is Gent-Sint-Pieters and another 20 minutes later you arrive in Bruges.
Reservation is not needed, just buy a ticket and jump on the train, there is one every half an hour all day long. Avoid the rush hours (leaving between 16:00 and 17:30 on working days). Also on sunny days these trains can be crowdy because it is the main connection to the coast. On that moments a first class ticket can be a good option.
If you rent a car, leave Brussels on the West or take the ringway to the E40 direction Gent - Brugge - Oostende. It is a 100 km ride.

What is one culinary specialty of Belgium?
The country is famous for its mussels and frites (French-fried potatoes), waffles, and endive. Fine chocolates are a passion and exquisite chocolatiers dot the marketplace of every city. More beer is consumed than wine by the populace. Many beers are crafted by small artisanal brewers whose family recipes and techniques go back generations. Beer laces the national dish, carbonnades flamandes, a Flemish beef stew.
Belgians love potatoes and are fond of game and meat. Charcuterie, a basket of bread, and beer often make a meal. Fish and seafood are important. Hearty soups play a big role, and the so called waterzooies are the most typical.
An example of some of that stuff that Belgium imports is shopping bags, jewelry, veggies, fruit, furs, rugs, spoons, forks, knifes, markers, pencils, and magnets.
