My favorite condiments.

ketchup has it's place, but I don't use it frequently.
ranch dip (great on all sorts of stuff, hamburgers, french fries, baked potatos, etc...) ranch is a favorite
mustard (plain yellow, deli-style brown, spicy Chinese, dijon low on the list, maybe even honey mustard) - Mustard is a favorite
Mayo - not much
Chipotle Mayo - hell yeah, this one is awesome
Miracle Whip (salad dressing) - much preferred over plain mayo
Tartar sauce - usually only with fish, but it's great on french fries too.
Horseradish - not exactly a tradition condiment since it's not really saucy, but it's great on some things.

and then specialty stuff, fish sauce, malt vinegar, soy sauce, cocktail sauce

Fries with stew looks like a putine that is not just ducky

also where is the puff pastry for the vol au vent??

it's not a restaurant innit..
vol au vent is just the chicken in white sauce.. the pastry thing is just presentation in restaurants.. you dont get that in a friterie..

Stew is better then poutine gravy (which is mostly beef and chicken stock) ..

you are reinforcing Belgian stereotypes now...

Horse fat still used?

Infidels! All of you! Hebrew International (national?) . Swiss. Mayo. Ketchup.

Hey - somebody shrunk your bratwurst!

you say that like it's a bad thing? :D

I know we Belgians are a bunch of rotten bastards, we're so annoying that whoever conquers us never really puts up that much of a fight when the next one invades :P
Look at the germans in WW2, after 4 years they had enough , retreat.. .. fall back to just before the border..Launch a boatload of V2's at Antwerp (understandable, I'de launch V2's at Antwerp now if I could, just for the hell of it.) then do a single counter attack, at the Bulge.to look like they mean it.. and GTFOOOOOOOO


Never heard of Horse fat.. we used to fry em in Ossewit, which is refined cow fat
It's quite healthy compared to some vegetable oils often used , because it's much more stable at higher temps. Best taste for Fries you can have.. I still use it at home...

But in current friteries, i believe they mostly use refined palm oil/fat now..
slightly cheaper, and doesn't upset the vegetarians (that the palm industry destroys tropical jungles and habitat for a great deal of wild animals near extinction. . oh well)

A work mate from Belgium told me about it. 10 years ago he said they still used it.

Google says it's a mix of ox fat and horse fat.

^^^ Lucky Burger and Fries :)

Doubt that very much, we had a fritery for most of my youth.. 1980-2002 .. We changed to cater to vegetarians somewhere in 1992 .. As a Teenager I had student jobs with our suppliers.. driving around unloading truckloads of supplies at all friteries around...Nothing but Ossewit.. cow, no horse fat.

Maybe back in the days, 50ies or 60ies right after the war, or in the interbellum.. Defo not 10 years ago... That's just ossewit.

We have no more horse butchers in Belgium that I know off, they are very rare..
And no horse used for riding can end up in the cooker, those horses don't pass the food chain tracking criteria so you cannot butcher a riding horse.

There just ain't any horses for this kind of supply... And it would be to expensive to ship in horse fat from Argentinia for cooking, not when there's cows all over the place here.

We were drinking when I talked with him. He probably embellished the story.

I have made them in 100% beef fat and they were divine.
