Hi everyone,
Thank you for watching this week's video. I hope you enjoyed learning about how fries are named in Dutch and the divide between team Patat and team Friet.

We've been a Spanish colony for almost 400 years. So it's "pritong patatas" here in the Philippines.

[@TheDutchcountryside]

So interesting how history is so easily seen in languages! Do you have anything special (sauce or something) that you eat fries with in the Philippines?

[@MrBadGuyLEC]

Nah. Nothin' special. We just dip it in banana ketchup :)

[@TheDutchcountryside]

@@MrBadGuyLEC Banana ketchup? That honestly sounds so good; I've never tried that before, but the next time I'm at an Asian shop I'll have a look for it - it sounds tasty!

​@@TheDutchcountryside If you're ever in North America, Jollibee's (Filipino fast food restaurant) serves banana ketchup. They use it for spaghetti sauce.

[@Mike-rm1vw]

Or you could call them ‘chips’ (New Zealand, Australia, USA,UK) 🙃

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Nooo, chips are what we call crisps haha. I don't think we can handle another debate 🤣

[@la95921]

In the UK we call them fries. Chips are thicker than fries. USA also don't call them "chips" AFAIK, because their "chips" are the British crisps.

[@KBinturong]

Yeah Belgium can have frites. ❤ les patates c’est la vie !

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Hahah, I'm glad we agree on that!

[@CommanderBunbun-fx5xu]

What is The Netherlands?

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Like Never Land - except real

[@josephjackson77]

[@TheDutchcountryside]
