the expression "bal" for a meatball is what the "hollanders" (tribes living north of the moerdijk bridge) say in belgium the word is "boulet" like the french,

the meatstick or sausauge is a "frikandel" for the "hollanders" in flanders its a "curryworst"

the brochette is called a "saté" ( pronounce satay) which for the hollanders is a set of 3 sticks of chicken morcels with hot peanutbutter sauce, but in belgium its just a stick with meat cubes and onions

the most frequent meat order however is "stoofvlees", which is at best described as a broth with chuncks of meat(in french "carbonades flamandes" )

a cornet in flanders is called a "puntzak" but we never use that word to order fries, if you have a choice the person serving yo will assume you want a "puntzak" (a cornet) unless you ask for a "bakske" (a box)
or when you ordered stoofvlees on the fries what cannot be eaten from a cornet unless you want to have the brothsauce up to your armpits

if you order it goes like this

"ne kleine met stoofvlees en mayonaise"
which translates to
"a small" [size portion of fries]"with broth and mayonaise"

or "ne grote met tartare"
for "a large" [size portion of fries]"with tartare"
between[] is assumed
