Do Belgians have a sauce for the fries? I have stopped buying ketchup, because it contains high fructose corn syrup and instead use crushed tomato with a little shredded cheese. That works for me. What is the original fry sauce?
In Belgium, the "default" is definatly mayonaise.
The second most popular is ketchup, I'ld say.
Then there's a whole range of sauces that you'll typically find in every shed: andalouse, americaine, cocktail, curry, tartaar,... (sorry don't know the english name for most of these).
Then there's also the "special sauce". If you ask that in a shed, you'll get a mixture of mayonaise and ketchup with chopped up onions on it:
It looks like a mess... and it really is a mess. And it's supposed to be a mess
And it's delicious!
In the Netherlands, they do have a special "frietsauce", but it seems to me to be just a variation of mayonaise with a subtle additional flavour added to it. Wouldn't know what it is though...
