Merguez frites

Merguez frites is a Parisian street food staple, a sandwich that consists of a cheap baguette stuffed with charred, cumin-laced merguez lamb sausages, fiery harissa, and heaps of pommes frites. The influence of North African cuisine is evident in the key ingredient of this sandwich - the spicy lamb sausages known as merguez.

Apart from these basic ingredients, some people also like to add ketchup or Dijon mustard as extra condiments, while the others sometimes don't even serve it on a baguette, but use a hot dog bun instead. Merguez frites is especially popular in Montmartre and the Marais.
