"One of the best places to try the Lowlands' famous french fries is Vlaams (Flemish) Friethuis Vleminckx, where the fries are freshly made and delicious. Go native and order a patatje oorlog (war-style fries), topped with mayonnaise, satay sauce, and raw onion."
"They’re usually served in paper cones, always with a generous dollop of sauce—mayonnaise-y fritessaus is the standard, but others are offered too, including the deadly Dutch combo known as oorlog (“war”), a mix of mayo, peanut satay sauce, and raw onions. The supposed battle in your mouth that ensues? That’s a war we’ll stand behind."
"The queue was at least 10 strong and when we got our chips I found out why. They were amazing. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and well seasoned, we had ours topped with mayonnaise and diced onion."
"I’d definitely recommend grabbing a cone of chips at the awesomely named Vleminckx Sausmeesters. The chips seemed triple fried to me as the exterior was thick and crunchy. Topped with a sweetened mayo and diced onion they were excellent."
"I was recommended patatje oorlog aka war chips. Uber crisp and super fluffy chips were double cooked to order. They were adorned with a genius combination of creamy mayonnaise, satay sauce and raw onion. Wow."
"Get your fix of Patatje Oorlog – thick fries topped with Mayo, Satay sauce and onions."
"Try patatje oorlog, a conglomeration of peanut sate sauce, mayo and onions that might give your stomach a lesson about the meaning of the name (oorlog means war)."
"The chips are extra crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside at Vleminckx Sausmeesters (Voetboogstraat 33). If you are feeling adventurous, order patatje oorlog (meaning chip war), a stomach-churning mix of peanut sauce, mayo and onions."
"It's a bit overwhelming to choose, but I ultimately decided on a Dutch classic, oorlog. It is actually probably the most incredible fries experience I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend."
"Ask the locals where to pick up the best batch, and most will point you to this back-alley fry shack with 25 dipping sauces on offer. Oorlog (or “war”), a mix of spicy peanut saté sauce, mayo, and onions, is perhaps the most fun to order."
