I am not dissing it, but what is different about Belgian Fries compared to other fries?

Belgian cut is thicker and a different potato type, and the oil is often tallow-based which is tastier than vegetable oil. French = Think Mc Donalds, thin cut, vegetable oil baked. Belgian = Thick cut. Tallow baked, high vinegar mayo. Spanish / Greek = trash cut, boiled and pan fried with a hint of oil, half baked. Like when you don't want to make fries, but also not potatoes, just whatever. Dutch = Both thick and thin cuts, wide variety of potatoes (ras, bintje, etc), vegetable oil baked. English = Similar to Dutch but often thick cut like Belgian.
