From the Netherlands I take the train to:

  • Paris (HSL)
  • London (HSL)
  • Belgium
  • Austria (night)
  • Germany (want to try night)
  • Poland (via Vienna or Berlin, usually fly back)

You go to Belgium? On purpose?

When someone from the Netherlands want some good frites, they have to travel south...

To France? Who have invented them?

... And there you are wrong. French fries comes from the way you cut the potato, the french way, not as a country of origin. Belgium is a weird country in a lot of things, but don't mess with our frites, or beer, or chocolate, or mayonaise, or ... Anything else food related.

Nobody calls them French fries but one underdeveloped country at the brink of fascism. Frittes or chips.
