Mitraillette · Brussels

Half a baguette filled with fries, a fried burger or sausage, salad and a sauce of your choice, popular with students. Fritland sells one for €9.

The mitraillette, French for submachine gun, is a sandwich of half a baguette with fries, fried meat such as sausage, burger or steak, and a sauce, sold at friteries and cafes. It is thought to have started in Brussels, is popular among students, and is also called an americain in northern France. Fritland, a friterie near the Stock Exchange open since 1978, builds its mitraillette with a hamburger or veggie burger, salad, onions, fries and a sauce from andalouse to samourai.
