I thought that was the worst California roll ever made at the bottom. Is the brown sauce spicy? I feel like that's way too much mayo (although I know that's just how some people do it) for fries.
It’s not spicy, it’s meaty with actual meat in it (Flemish stew), it can be a bit on the sweeter side too. This combo fries-stew-mayo is typically Belgian/flemish, and we like it a bit soggy as seen in the photo.
I would definitely recommend for you to try if you ever get the chance !
Actually it’s a cervela (lookworst or garlic sausage) that was fried. But yes, the frikandel special is really staple in this meal. You get the cervela if you’re feeling a bit adventurous.
It’s only visually shitty to the untrained eye that is not familiar with Belgian staples. Beneath the surface, it’s god-tier and should be tried around the world !
Yeah, I just came back from reading the part about the German frikadel too😁 You're right that they are close.
I've had those, they're closer to meatballs though, where the Dutch/Flemish frikandel is extremely fine minced. And the main difference is that it's deep-fried.
No doesn’t really taste like that. Bratwurst is more German. In Belgium and the Nerherlands we eat a 'frikandel'. Based on the description I couldn't make it sound very attractive, but it's quite nice. You can eat them plain, with a sauce like mayo of like in the picture. Then it's called 'frilandel speciaal'. It will have the meaty stick, mayo, curry sauce and onions.
My preference with a speciaal would be a lot less sauce. However this is not shittyfoodporn worthy. It's really good food, just looks a bit messy cus of the sauce.

Is that just a fat wad of fucking mayonaise

Ne gewone frit-stoofvlees met mayonaise en ne curryworst special.
Fries with a meat sauce and mayonaise and a sausage with ketchup, mayonaise and chopped onions.
A national dish.

It totally is. Every Wednesday is stoofvlees and fries day.

What's shitty about frikandel and frites?

MoxxiiBlue@reddit
It’s shitty, because he has ketchup on his frikandel speciaal instead of curry sauce

onions with a hot dog and fries with mayo?? 😩👌🏾
Rosaly8@reddit
Not a hot dog.
n0vacs@reddit
probably a bratwurst or something similar right?
chocobokes@reddit (OP)
It’s a fried cervela, a type of garlic sausage
Aromatic_Clock_3699@reddit
Frikandel, distinct taste and texture from both hotdogs and bratwurst
Conscious_Play9554@reddit
Isnt frikandel the same as Frikadelle in Germany? Shredded and Pressed meat of some sort?
factus8182@reddit
Nope.

Ah okay, that’s makes sense from the pictures I saw, the texture of frikandels are extremely fine minced

Fry-days.
Ngl though brown gravy on fries is awesome (if that's what it is in the pic).
waffleswithsprouts@reddit
It is probably stoofvleessaus, the sauce that is left after you eat the meat out of your carbonate a la flamande (beefstew with beer).
chocobokes@reddit (OP)
It’s actually stoofvlees itself! Sadly this frituur isn’t too generous with the meaty bit.
Maudrich@reddit
Fries from a good frietkot is a god-tier meal, if you call this shitty you might not be a true Belgian
