Patat/frietlingo*

Het patatje met – French fries with mayo
De mayonaise – mayonnaise, the classic topping on patat
De fritessaus – Dutch sauce which the Flemish rightly detest
Het patatje pinda(saus) – French fries with peanut sauce
Het patatje speciaal – French fries with mayonnaise, curry sauce and chopped onions
Het patatje oorlog – French fries with mayo, peanut sauce and chopped onions
De kapsalon – French fries topped with shawarma meat, grilled cheese and lettuce
De luciferfriet – French fries sliced as thinly as matches (steppegras in Flemish)
De luiewijvenfriet – French fries made of unpealed potatoes (by ‘lazy housewives’)
De raspatat – northern Dutch variant made of extruded powdered boiled potatoes

* There’s a never-ending Dutch controversy between patat and friet – south versus north, or vice versa, who knows anymore? Potayto potahto… Where I write patat, I also mean friet, and where it says French fries, I also mean chips. And vice versa…
