French fries are those thin things. Flemish fries are the real stuff
If done correctly... They are harder to do right, which is why most people will take the French fries... But the best is Ras Patat. Which is made from mixing potato powder with water and compressing that mixture into fries.
"The name Ras is created in 1953. In that year, the Groninger company Rixona got the patent for the drying of potatoes into powder. This patent was from the American Richard Anthony Simon Templeton. When Rixonon bought the drying-procedure, a part of the deal was that the initials of the inventor would be used." (source:

It's something that is mostly found in the northern part of the Netherlands, but you will find a few (better) cafetaria that will sell it in the rest of the country as well.

True, though, I prefer real mayonaise above frietsaus...

It's the only milk I drink. I don't really care for normal milk.

I've had this recipe for a buttermilk pudding ever since I saw a show of the Hairy Bikers which had it in it...
