    I commented on one of your videos a few weeks back saying you had to try the snacks that go along with our fries. You liked my comment and now i see you followed my advice! Great! There is another thing you should try in Belgium that goes very well with fries. Its called "Vol Au Vent". its some kind of chicken stew. Must try!

      I have never seen this "mess" in a Belgian frituur, they must serve it at that place only. Belgian frituren do serve something called a "trog" (pigsty) or similar but the ingredients (fries, meat snacks, sauces) are never mixed up that much.
      The "mitraillette" (machine gun) is another "made-for-pigs" meal : a loaf of bread filled with fries, meat snacks and sauces.

    I love the joy you share as you make these videos and I don't wanna be a party pooper but as a Belgian I wanted to mention that fries in cities (I've been to 2 of the places you showed) are often low in quality compared to what you would get outside city centers and in the countryside (not to mention the price). The only advantage is indeed that you can easily try the sauces. I'd recommend andalouse sauce from the brand "la william".
