Belgian Fries

Cultural Context

Belgian fries, or 'frites', have a rich history dating back to the late 1600s in Belgium. Traditionally served in a paper cone, they are often accompanied by a variety of sauces, with mayonnaise being the most popular. The dish is a beloved street food and has inspired variations worldwide, including the popular 'poutine' in Canada.
