In Belgium, when you go to a 'frituur' and you order 2 small fries you get this amount of fries:

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 29 points 3 days ago

As it bloody well should be. More than one order of fries of any size should be a life-altering amount of potato

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

That's like 5 Guys burgers in the US

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 5 points 3 days ago

its called that because you need 5 guys to finish 1 meal!

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 1 points 2 days ago

Calm down with the inaults

[–] GreatRam@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

Thats like five guys

Similarly, any chip shop in the UK outside of greater London. I've taken to ordering a medium chips for my wife and I, because a large is just Too Many Chips.

In London, however, they serve a tragically small amount of chips in many chippies. Fuck London.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

a large is just Too Many Chips.

I've yet to encounter such a phenomenon.

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 7 points 3 days ago

I think I've gotten too old for a large. The spud, coupled with a beers leaves me feeling uncomfortably bloated.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 6 points 3 days ago

They really go overboard.

Like even the smallest portion, you can eat with 4 persons and all be full.

[–] mystrawberrymind@piefed.ca 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah I was in Belgium last year and them OG fries were the best. Really good quality mayo too.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Sounds like a classic australian fish & chip shop. "Minimum fries" gets you a bag the size of your head.

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Except they will give you a parcel of chips instead of fries

Who the fuck goes to a chippy and orders a "Minimum fries" lol???

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

Wasn't even in Belgium but in France near the border and there was one of these shops setup in a kinda temporary thing on the highway. Still felt a bit peckish after the tiny triangle sandwich so ordered a small fry, was greeted with not much less than pictured here haha. Had to share them to get through it.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lots of them, but man they're all little nubs. That would annoy me.

[–] wieson@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

If you've never eaten Belgian fries, they're really good
