I've tried it, without exaggerating, over a 1000 times. 2-3 times a week when I was younger, most families in NL eat it at least ince a week, for me it's more a guilty pleasure sort of thing now.
See post for recent example: https://rollitup.org/t/new-and-improved-tnt-foodie-thread.1069452/post-17010610
And yeah, needs good mayo, Belgium preferably, more egg yolk, creamier. I also like Zaanse mayo for variation, from a town west in NL.

Mayo on sandwiches is pretty common...

In the US, which I didn't know till that day. We put butter on bread, more like butter-formula, it’s enhanced with usually calcium and vitamins. Mayo mainly goes on fries and other fried snacks, or in sauces. Putting it on sandwhich was unthinkable for me. It’s not as uncommon nowadays. Depending on the mayo and butter it can be a good and healthier choice. Actually I don't personally use sandwich-butter unless I put hagelslag (chocolate sprinkles) on my sandwich, else it falls off. Most common topping on sandwiches after cheese. Breakfast and/or lunch, especially for kids. Sometimes I walk to the pantry just to grab a handful. Good munchies satisfier :D

That chocolate bread looks like it'd be a sweet snack in the morning with some coffee or something

Andalouse sauce works well on fries but why is it Belge and not Spain?
  • 1 cup of mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 1 finely chopped green onion
  • ¼ finely chopped green bell pepper
  • ¼ finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika

Certainly not the healthiest choice but it is one of the beers that night. 50 different beers on the board sounded like a challenge. Delirium was a seasonal beer in stemware that was twisted.

Love the back stories of local food. Thanks for sharing.

You're most welcome. Love this thread and sharing, makes me think about what I eat instead of taking it for granted. Durum and burrito... (@curious2garden mind was blown for a split sec when I read your reply, I went from huh? to ohhhhh!). Delirium is still very popular in the better beer pubs, strangely for no reason I can think of other than the abundant options I never had it myself.

My guess is cause Belgium claims mayo and made a variety based on what they consider a Spanish take on it (the bell pepper and paprika).

That sums up a typical breakfast here for many, lunch even, but it's not considered a snack anymore than a cheese, ham, peanut butter or jam sandwich is.

That would have to be a stroopwafel. I've taken and sent quite a few across the world myself. Basically a caramel waffle. Still got small stands making them on many of the weekly street markets. Only thing that dictates the smell on a market more is the stand with fresh roasted nuts.

Back when there were plenty of real bakeries and I was 10y/o or so I used to buy large bags with trimmings for next to nothing, 50 cents or so in guilders, so more like 25 dollar cent per pound. They don't trim them on the market but bakeries (and now factories) do before packaging a bunch. If I don't buy fresh/warm, I place them on a cup of coffee or tea to warm and soften them up. Damn now I truly start craving food and I still have to get groceries and haven't even decided yet what to cook.

Putting pineapple on a pizza or hamburger is worse than putting ketchup on a hot dog.

there's a little vienna station hot dog stand down in the Springs that's been around for like 30 years. since day 1 she's had a sign up that says : Sorry, we are out of ketchup. It's so old and tattered now that it always make me chuckle when i stop in.

my standard order: 2 chicago dogs , heavy on the sport peppers.
