Mitraillette (Belgium)
Mitraillette is a Belgian sandwich believed to originate from Brussels or Wallonia, the French-speaking part of the country near the French border. The sandwich consists of a long baguette filled with french fries, fried meat and some kind of sauce.
Almost every friteria in Belgium has its own version. Meats range from meatballs and steaks to hamburger patties and frikandel, while sauces include mayonnaise, bearnaise, ketchup, and garlic sauce. Some businesses add carrots, cabbage, caramelized onions, lettuce, and tomatoes.
In northern France, the sandwich is called l'américain, referring to the similarity between mitraillette and overstuffed American burgers.
