gent - A recent quirky advice from the Belgian Food Agency has caught the attention of British tabloids, sparking ridicule and amusement across Europe and beyond.

A recent quirky advice from the Belgian Food Agency has caused a stir, with the British tabloid Daily Star mocking Belgium as the 'dullest country in the world'. The news made headlines in various newspapers, including The Guardian, The Independent, and Euronews, after the Gent City Council suggested consuming Christmas trees.

The Guardian reported the cautionary statement issued by the Belgian Food Agency warning against eating Christmas trees, following the unconventional advice from Gent. The city's original message of 'Eat your Christmas tree' was later revised to 'Scandinavians eat Christmas trees', emphasizing the cultural differences.

The bizarre recommendation not only made waves in Europe but also made its way to international outlets such as South China Morning Post, Maeil Business Newspaper, and The Peninsula, drawing attention to Belgium's unusual Christmas tradition.

Even The New York Times weighed in on the story, highlighting Gent as an eco-friendly city. European correspondent Amelia Nierenberg shared her perspective on the trend, debunking the notion of preparing Christmas tree needles as a culinary practice in Scandinavia.
