a pinch of salt. you don't need much more for really good french fries, but in fact, belgian fries are considered the best in the world. here's why. let me introduce myself. the french fry, colors, fries for short. most people do just a simple little stick potato, tumble root vegetables. take pat towards a crispy fate, sometimes hard to believe, but i am actually belgium's favorite st. food crispy on the outside to we on the inside. that's what we strive for. i don't really like to talk myself up, but people do seem to enjoy my company. it's amazing is the best for i have ever tried. not christy, not to greasy. not saki know yes, just right and always on funding. i still can't quite a bit, chris. here the spanish ones got pulled up here and those are the best price

problem is around 22, not the perfect price or in belgium. most if we prize a lot. my home is the french price stand chipping. this is just one of some, 5000 around the country behind the counter is his domain was oh, hello. glad to meet you. my name's steve pitts is. i'm a 500 north brussels in my little stand. as you can see here, get on the come with why life as a free to or east isn't easy. but steve got the hang of this, what he job deck. his weapon is cooking oil. fuel define oil. that's how they everything we work with. be fun. that's not fissionable. oil is be fun, gives it more. flavorful isn't the 1st 2. deep fat friars are for parking at 150 degrees with thing. and then i get out the fries and let them sit here. it's very important to let them sit, for example, skip that. they'll come out of the 2nd find nice and crisp. of course the all frag twice but not too hot. that's how the belgians do it. when it's been long enough

and the deep sadness done its work, steve gets sick. we don't even know what do you hear this? winter comes up. they sound like that's what you'll hear. it's when they're done this morning where the sound is much higher pitched, you know, can we always say the front seat? i'm truly a fast food. all the belgians know me as more than a reliably feeling side dish. and never, never boring. adventurous souls love my tossing topics. my goodness, maine, days and to lose summer really pepper, politically big, trying to catch up with american american spicy shifts. of course people g but has presented with pineapple garlic, dallas cocktail talk, mama, small, jumpy, and many others. if you all know, go down,

you'll find the 1st and all across belcher from what lonia flanders. whether it's linda, she'd go to photo alone in suite to chippy as a place for everyone. a place to get off the main street. it's a place to get together refuge, trouble supplies. how difficult to go to a nice little bag of fries with main names is always a joy. let me go. so that's part of our cultural heritage. no. hold on. then we go for fries after a soccer game and on the national holiday for fitness for them. for jo pierre, it's a culture you find almost everywhere in belgium houses and we get fries and a little village under the same. it's always a perfect moment. also in the us, we don't have the same as susie as them for fries as in belgium. so we might be able to avoid this victory to the belgians. so i'm only getting costs between the front, french on one side and the belgians on the other. and they fight over my origins. one thing is certain. i started out as an ordinary star to potato, but in belgium,

always a fresh one and never frozen. must feel forced out to preserve adults. you see the cool thing about you when you don't, victor, i started cooling and continue talking to potatoes at 4 am. so no sex and they started deliveries at the 8. we're talking about the this is how i get fresh potatoes every day to push to different functional pits. this fun ryan, to see you later. how are you? how is your vacations mateo can you can go, i've seen my customers, there's one big family one. and i think for many of them it's the same. they're like, they're steve like specially let's go to steve for years. these are steve's pricing . what sort of like that is more than just to ship the ease my loyal companion in the daily struggle against hungry valleys. if you were to put me in an office at a monthly summary of 3000 bureaus, a company car and

a computer, i wouldn't be happy through the i stand here, i'm in touch with my customers. what else do i need? just this the way it is. i'm from so hard to imagine life without me, steve. so tell no job. okay, but no fries, no way. no worries. now i'm not going anywhere. i'll be by your side till the next a crispy adventure in our new series on the average german we'll find out which cliches about germans can be statistically proven. our average durham is called me out in the and is 43 years old. in this episode, we secretly follow him around to see what he does me evenings. so far we've watched messiah wake up in the morning, and we've joined him as he commutes walks and flats his way through a day at the office. for what's that?

so now the what side of the way, what does michelle get up to in the evening? does he have any hobbies? what does he have dinner? so you're gonna get a little tipsy. let's find out the year and that way it's friday, it's full. so 2 pm and me says finish what for the week? looks like yourself to play some football. this is me say of friend lucas lucas asked me say and how his day was and like 70 percent of german. he says it was typical by contrast for it's like me, a more likely say it was good the all those the most germans, the reasons for doing for

a not rooted in will be sizes. most germans do sports to stay healthy and to optimize the physical strength bit. hi. michelle, you find a note from his name, but probably kept saying there's a noise that someone in the building is having loud sex. germans report also being annoyed by cigarettes. a loud music and d r y. the magenta lovell fed with bridge knows no bounds. yes, even off to bread for breakfast. bread for lunch. you guessed it, the most common? what say jeannette is bridge. loan is awesome. job on top bread with sliced meat, cheese, chopped. the i think we

a relatively young population, very low unemployment. and hyatt. oh, how do you tell the difference between these 2 pretzels, this one with consistent slickness all around is a book. it's a from the barrier. and this one with it's to skinny, um, is i believe, so from this way, the impact of button button that this, the view is, is a metaphor of how the to southern states have a lot in common. but if you look close enough, you can tell the difference is also a metaphor for how but very often steals that. i'm not take traditional dress, for example. there are lots of different types of tacitus, boat clothing on eva gemini, but the most famous internationally made of was the dental which technically belong to by so very about and looking at no doubt you've heard of unix october 5th, the biggest folk festival in the world it's name locally as these and rather confusingly, it actually begins to come back when it was founded in 19 tenant really did beginning on tape, but it was seen before to make the most effective weather condition that's area is
