A half-baguette stuffed with frites, a piece of fried meat (sausage, chicken or steak) and a sauce of your choice. The Brussels late-night student classic.
The mitraillette ('submachine gun' in French) emerged from Brussels' frituur counters in the late 20th century as a one-handed student meal: half a baguette split open, packed with hot frites and a slab of fried meat, drowned in andalouse or samurai sauce. Fritland on Rue Henri Maus is its canonical home, with the queue spilling onto the pavement after midnight on weekends. The dish has spread to Liege and Charleroi but Brussels owns the original.
