Fritkots / Baraque à frites

It's well known that Belgians are fans of fries ! It's a tradition in many families to eat fries at least once a week, some make them themselves but many go to the fries shack (called fritkots or baraque à frites) ! These are places, often trailers, that can be found in every town. The fries are cooked twice in fat and often served with a ton of sauce! We eat them with fricadelles (fat sausage that no one wants to know what's in it) or mitraillettes (large baguette filled with meat and fries). Come and taste !!
