    The Belgians know what's up. Eating fries with mayonnaise is genius, as it enriches and enhances the flavor of the fries without overcoming it. Ketchup. on the other hand, takes over whatever it's pour on. All that acidity and sweetness are overwhelming to the palate.

    • @alybloodshade
      @alybloodshade ปีที่แล้ว

      The trick I learned in Canada was to mix a little bit of ketchup in to the mayo to cut the creaminess, not enough to drown out the other flavors, but enough to give some acidity though my dad just did half and half because he's a mad bear. Better yet though, get some soft serve ice cream and dip the fresh fries into that.

    • @mrdude88
      @mrdude88 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      You want the acidity to help balance the greasiness of the deep fried potatoes strips. Grease on grease is savory but it sits heavy in your palate.

      Waffels and Frites are also Belgian/(French-I admit), but popularised in The Netherlands.

      An example of a shared dish is Stoofvlees. Also Stoemp is the Belgian cousin of the Dutch Stamppot. There are also pancakes in Belgium, but smaller, with brown (not powder) sugar and far less common. Oliebollen (NL) are smaller, less substantial and are often called Smoutebollen in Belgium- and like pancakes, not so common. We also both have (garnalen) croquetten.

      Well we actually also like and eat mussels. And I think a lot or most mussels in Belgium are from the Netherlands, Zeeland to be more specific, zeeuwse mosselen are quite famous. Also the potatoes that a lot of belgians use to make their fries, come from the Netherlands. The potato-race that is ideal for it is called ‘Bintje’, which was created and cultivated in the Netherlands, Friesland to be precise. These dished may be known and famous as being Belgian, but we also have them and eat it a lot, and not necessarily worse quality.

    This dish is so easy to make that is ridiculous. The hardest part for home cook is frying the frites without a commercial deep fryer with big batch of tallow. McDonald's fries used to be good when they used tallow.
    Here in the Pacific Northwest I often buy mussels in a 5 lb bag from Costco. They are farmed in the Pacific sounds of Washington state. I also get them from Asian fishmongers. I cook them in countless ways. For shellfish, mussels is the biggest bang for the buck because the shells are thin and light.

      I’m sure you could if you, as chef, didn’t take any wages; didn’t have restaurant rent and rates; didn’t have energy bills; didn’t have waiters to pay. I’m not in the restaurant business or anything like it but it amazes me how people assume that the cost of ingredients is the only, even the major, factor in pricing a dish. I don’t know what trade you are in but your statement is equivalent to saying that a book should only cost the value of the paper with nothing for the write or publisher; work in your home by a joiner should be free unless he uses new materials.
      How about taking the total daily costs of running a restaurant and then working out what that is as percentage of the daily take?

      @Krossfyre ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Rule of thumb is about 3x the cost of the raw ingredients is needed. And of course some other variations in pricing to account for various factors. But I'd say it looks to me that it's like $7 of mussels and $1 of potatoes, based on my local prices. So puts it at $24, which is not far off from €24 as of time of writing. But of course I'm guessing with prices local to where I live in America. If they're more premium potatoes or the ingredients cost more if there's some other costs they have to deal with, it could genuinely cost this much for them to make a profit. At the very least in Europe, the cost of food does not have a hidden price of tipping. And the other thing you might consider is the chef's skill. Perhaps they have techniques that make it more delicious than what you can do at home, so that factors in to what people are willing to pay too.

      They're not premade fries dude. They're fresh ones (just potatoes being sliced to the size you want), bagged in this kind of plastic.
      How are you so quick to judge what you don't know?

      @Kurochana 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The butter melts, cooking the vegetables that release their water, releasing steam when the water boils.
      Mussels also cooks super quick and if you leave it on high heat for about 5 minutes with a shake halfway through to mix the ingredients, the mussels will be succulently cooked and the vegetables will be tender but still have a bite for mouth feel, good stuff.
