Patatje

Most countries have their own snack you can buy in the street. In the Netherlands it is "het Patatje" or the "French fries" in english. You buy it in a paper cone with or without a sauce on top.
At the Unseen Photo Fair they sold biological fried "Patatjes".

Many couldn't resist a break with the snack and neither did we. I always like the traditional one  "Patatje mayo" (with mayonnaise) yummy!

  4. I noticed in Amsterdam they had lots of little shops just selling "chips" and sauces. I wondered how any shop could survive just selling chips, but maybe everyone eats them.

  5. Europeans must roll their eyes when us Americans drown our fries in ketchup.

    1. There are several sauces, from peanut to one named " war" . That last one is mayonnaise, chopped onions and ketchup! Brrrrrrr.

  7. Lovely street shots with french fries.
    I think that we do not sell food here on the street to eat outside. We need to go to for instance to some hamburger.
    The market is a different thing, they sell food outside.

  9. We used to have separate french fry stands but not anymore. French fries come with hamburgers and many other meals.

  10. I recall having similar in Brussels - it was my first time eating french fries with mayonnaise and I was surprised at how well they went together.

  13. Dearest Marianne,
    Funny but while reading your post, the taste of this typical patatje with mayo, came into my mouth and that after 32 years!
    Great post about something very Dutch!
    Hugs,
