Looks like what we call lihapiirakka (meat pastry) :



I think every north european country has their own version. White pastry that comes with a not so generous rice and "ground beef" filling.
That's why you add some cheap and crappy toppings, sausage is the most popular one here (the less meat, the better). Pictured here is one of our specialties being built, main components are ham and boiled egg.

No decent human being eats one while sober.

I love drunk food. Belgium has the mitraillete, which is a baguette with any 'meat' the fryshop has per your choice, fries and sauce



And also the dutch-sourced "kapsalon" ("hairdresser's"), which is fries, topped with döner or shawarma meat, grilled with a layer of Gouda cheese until melted and then subsequently covered with a layer of dressed salad greens. Usually drowned with garlic sauce and/or sambal.

It kind of resembles what is called an Indian taco up in these parts (ND): all of the stuff you eat in a normal taco but in a piece of fry bread folded in half like a taco shell. They're still one of the biggest sellers at the Downtowner's Street Fair held each year in September. They're really good when the bread is freshly fried and the outside is still crispy and the inside is soft and steamy.

I tried the mitraillette last week because my friends insisted, the collective gastrointestinal distress was severe. It wasn't even good. Belgian fries are usually unsalted "because it tastes more like potato", so you just have layer upon layer of bland carbs that you hopelessly shake a salt packet at in the hope that it will drive away the flavour of old, slightly under-temperature fryer fat. As is the case in the above picture, the fries will have brown edges and hold their shape but somehow fail to be crispy, holding only just above soggy.

Belgium's greatest culinary offense is that they think anything can be improved by diluting it with mayo. Spicy sauce? Mayo with a whisper of sambal or sriracha. Tuna salad? Mayo that once shook hands with a tuna can. Even garlic sauce only tastes like mayo that tried to hit on garlic in a bar one time. The worst was when I asked for barbecue sauce on a sandwich and got mayo mixed with American smoky barbecue sauce. The general effect is that everything tastes the same way going down as it would coming up :gonk:



Disclaimer: really good Belgian fries with unadulterated mayo are really good

I feel like you went to a really terrible place to try and eat fries. This is not something that usually happen, and besides, if it does, there's always a huge salt shaker on the counter.


And yes, mitraillette is really not good. It's bachelor food for after a hangover and even then 100% of people eating it regret it. A normal serving of fries is enough to be satiated but somehow, in a drunken stupor, some people think that adding even more carb in the form of a dried piece of industrial bread is a good thing and that it's really a good value because of how filling it is.


The reputation about being Belgian fries being good really comes more from a long tradition and very small number of fry shops. 80% of the fry shops in Belgium serve bland and soggy unfreezed fries, but when you find a decent shop who knows how to correctly cook fresh fries depending on the potato variety (requiring different oil temperatures), you can never go back to sad lovely fries.


I personally know of only 3-4 shops serving good fries in Belgium and I've been living here forever

Oh I know, that's why I said really good Belgian fries are fantastic. Good fries are a rare find though, and the merely average ones are invariably super sad. As an arrogant, loud-mouthed Dutch oppressor I'm not allowed to say this in real life, but average Dutch fries are miles better than average Belgian ones.

Yes there is always salt available (I've never gotten pre-salted in Leuven, maybe it's regional), but the thing is that if you try to salt them after they cool the salt doesn't stick so you just get half bland, half overly salted. In what silly universe is "salt makes potatoes less flavourful" considered a reasonable thing to say anyway? :colbert:
