Friterie

Fries from a frituur A paper cone of fries under mayonnaise and curry ketchup, with a frikandel sausage riding alongside, bought from the frituur van in the background. This is how Belgians eat their fries: from a cone, out of a fritkot, the small shack or trailer that sells them, and Belgium has about 5,000 of those. Flanders went as far as recognizing its fries as part of the region's culture. Skip the plain ketchup and order mayonnaise or one of the long list of sauces on the board, and eat the top layer quickly while it is still crisp.
