Belgian frites in beef fat · Antwerp
Double-fried Belgian frites cooked in pure beef fat (ossewit), served in a paper cone with sauce. The street-food staple of Antwerp since 1842.
Belgian frites trace to 17th-century Meuse-valley villages, where fried potatoes replaced the river fish that locals could not catch in winter. Antwerp's Fritkot Max has fried since 1842; the original cart stood on Burchtplein beside the Rubens statue and moved to Groenplaats when the Schelde was straightened. The beef-fat fry is the distinctive Belgian technique, double-fried for a crisp shell and fluffy interior.
