Waw I'm Belgian, and now stuck in quarantine, seeing you eating fries... God I miss my frituur 😭

[@IntAffair]

🤤

[@KiffJRockka]

They are open in my village at the coast, as long as you can order from the outside they can stay open. I'm sorry to hear. :(

[@cashout._jelle]

@@KiffJRockka in tielt zijn ze ook nog open dus meer obesitas vo mij

[@japie2549]

Ik ben ook belg en ja in de lockdown misten ik de frituur

[@imanech6953]

I can say that the Maison Antoine fries are the best... If we go, with my parents, to eat fries once in a while, we take the bus and go there cause they are soooo good. A sauce that I really like with fries is the Samurai sauce (made in Belgium), a bit spicy, but that's what I like in that sauce. God, I want good fries, but yeah, quarantine doesn't solve it😂

[@dirkghysels6232]

There are no French fries ... the history is that after the world war foreign military bought Frites but as they didn't understand the language they thought they were originally from France ... so the Belgian ones are still the best

[@Amghannam]

It's not that they did not understand the language, it's that they found them in Wallonia, where they speak French, and mistook the place for being France.

[@IslamcomesfromHell]

@@Amghannam yeah that's logical

[@KiffJRockka]

Nope, they are just called French Fries because of the way you cut the potatoes, called in cuisine (kitchen) the frenching technique. It's 100 percent Belgian.

[@Amghannam]

As a Belgian, I really don't understand why foreigners (except perhaps the Dutch) don't like mayo on their fries..

[@b.f.6254]

Mayonaise is the only way. Belgian mayonaise has a bit more acidity. Ketchup completely blows away the taste of any good food. If you put ketchup on something, the 'something' tastes like ketchup. But that is just my Dutch opinion.

[@Amghannam]

@@b.f.6254 Yeah, I mean like some countries (such as the UK for instance, as per my experience), don't even have mayonnaise as an option with fries, like wtf? lol. and some other countries have ketchup as a staple, but you need to pay extra for mayonnaise.. (such as Greece for instance). Now I know next time when travelling, to pack some mayo in case I need to eat abroad.

[@lebronbrady6638]

Amghannam Nah in Canada we like mayo on our fries

[@louisarchambault9842]

I like mayo in my French Fries.

[@Amghannam]

@@louisarchambault9842 *Belgian fries or just fries ;)

[@paulsharpe4655]

You guys are pros. Great presentation, great format, very helpful, for once it's not about you, it's about us, which is very refreshing. Bravo !! I'm guessing you must have some kind of background in this stuff.

[@IntAffair]

Paul Sharpe 🙌🏼 Thanks! We both have a background in the travel industry and I (Rafael) come from a restaurant/food background as well. As far as the videos; we started from the bottom. No experience. It's been an interesting ride and one we've enjoyed sharing with the world!

[@user-cm1hz1pj9w]

wooooow you make me hungry

[@LeysRik]

In most of the "Friet" places in Belgium they don't use animal fat anymore. Because... we don't like to die from a heart-attack off course. Not that it's something you'd die from immediately. But at the ratio we Belgians eat "friet" we would.

[@TheWanderingWife]

You know, fries were invented in Belgium. Don’t know why they are called French fries. And I LOVE them with mayo! We were in Belgium for 8 days, and I ate frites EVERY day!

[@Amghannam]

Because Wallonia, and they thought it was France when English speakers found them there.

[@evanfrazier4304]

Have funnnn guysssss

[@camaraleilah]

I always use animal fat to fry and lots of homemade mayonnaise,and been having them that way for more than 40 years.....in belgium,we rule baby

[@vgoldst]

Terrific videos. You are so cute! Hope you have many more travels in the future. Thanks for sharing.

[@IntAffair]

Thanks Valerie! LOTS more to come. Stay tuned 😃

[@echu4922]

hello ia, the affair of a trip to europe and eating may french fries. the richness of the mayo is french and frites in england is vinegar. the two taste test from you were (two of you) great. elle for cleaner fingers

[@echu4922]

hello , the mayo is free right with small or large fries is a new charge - guess for two people a lg is better. elle for mayonaise

[@lykf00d68]

Must go Belgium

[@miciduve]

Why did you guys not visit other places like Ypers just curious because there are way nicer places in flanders and the walloon region than Bruxelles

[@IntAffair]

We were working with limited time and I have a really good friend in Brussels that we were visiting 😉

[@miciduve]

@@IntAffair that sounds fair enough its just that other cities have more to do obout our history and shaping of Belgium than Brussels

[@jakewelder6413]

Now we have to find frites in thailand!. Your video gave the wife a serious craving. Why only two stands in the review?

[@shotgunfire1910]

I always feel Belgian Chips are better than British were they are like soggy and greasy,Were Belgian Frites are more crispy and chewy soft in the coating.

[@IntAffair]

Shotgun Fire never had British chips. May have to make a trip there to do a review...😉

[@Andrew-jv7tc]

I will ALWAYS stand by Frites Flagey as the better of the two. I will never refuse Maison Antoine either however. While mayo is great, I'm a big fan of the curry ketchup and sauce Brazil.

[@IntAffair]

The curry ketchup kind of grew on me! The sauce Brazil...💯🤤

[@Amghannam]

Samurai sauce is the best - but beware, it might be a bit too spicy if you'r not used with spicy.

[@lennartproost537]

Why do you find it weird to put mayonaise on fries??? Btw if you go to frituren (frites shops idk) in other places its much cheaper AND did you know that every belgian village has at least one frituur in my village were only 8000 people live we have 5 frituren And please never call our fries french fries that's a insult just so you know not that you called it but yea SPREAD IT FURTHER NO MORE FRENCH FRIES REEEEEEEE

[@IntAffair]

I had never had mayo on fries before - it was surprisingly good!

[@lennartproost537]

Int Affair good to know 😌

[@miciduve]

Yeah exept the word french fries comes from the word to french wich means to slices thinly 😉

[@jhchooo]

Because when American's encounter anything that is not what they are used to at home they consider it 'weird'.

[@GuyWets-zy5yt]

Indeed,We know it and everywhere in Belgium, but, they re in Brussels....

[@dennisharvatin7191]

great vid, makes me hungry lol

[@stormcloudnine2]

We have ordered fries 8 times in thailand since this video was posted and they all are subpar to just watching this video. Guess its time to go back to Europe.

[@lzdmglg202612]

If you add four or so more of the available sauces to Belgian Frtits - et voila! Canadian poutine.

[@Zines]

Ya it's really good... but we are like "Oh this is normal" untill we go in another country and say "Oh it's disgusting"... That was my reaction when I tested french fries from france

[@IntAffair]

You got it! The most important part of traveling is being opened minded 😉

[@Zines]

@@IntAffair :D

[@flitsertheo]

Finding the best fries in Brussels testing 2 places only ? There must be at least 100 frituren/friteries in Brussels, not counting the Kebab snackbars. Vegan ? One frituur owner told me that if a customer would want something vegetarian or vegan there was always the patch of grass on the other side of the street.

[@Vladislavbgd]

You didn't try frites avec fromage in Belgium? Not possible. With mayonnaise is nothing compare to potato (fromage) sauce. Try please. 😂👑😁👍

[@robsteries]

first in beeffat, then in a plant based fat/oil

[@GuyWets-zy5yt]

1.Antoine 2. Flagey thanks

[@UntaintedIndigoChild]

Belgium has the world best sandwiches and fries.

[@DEIMOSLOL]

Pomme Frites should be cooked in beef, goose, or duck fat and eaten immediately...salt and mayo.

[@makulovamichaiela6674]

I live in antwerp what I don't get is how this people r not 300 400 pounds with beer waffles fries n chocolate

[@Amghannam]

You live in Antwerp.. So please use the metric system as 300 pounds.. Is that the weight of a chips or a plane? no idea.

[@mohamadchahrour3966]

Snobs😊

[@munk455]

you never had a fries from Paula from La Roche an Ardenne, so you have no idea about the fries.
