The fact that mussels have been eaten in so much of the world, in places near water and the idea that potatoes were fried at some time, does not give any indication of the time or the place of the origin of moules-frites. Instead of arguing about whether it was Belgium of France "wot dunnit", why don't we put that it was a meal which became popular in north-eastern France and Belgium. As for the rest of the article - it's just waffle; correct me if I'm wrong. Francis Hannaway (talk) 21:53, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

The article says "On average, between 25 and 30 tonnes of moules are consumed each year in Belgium as moules-frites." It gives a reference, but the link is broken.
One portion of moules-frites would normally include about 1 kg of moules, and one tonne is by definition 1,000 kg, so 25 to 30 tonnes of moules per year would mean only 25,000 to 30,000 portions of moules-frites per year. Given that Belgium has a population of about 11 million people, and that moules-frites is the national dish, you would expect a much higher figure than that.
