It’s been a long time since I’ve been in Germany. The last time I was there you could find french fry stands practically everywhere. In a typical stand you could order your French fries (pommes frites) with catsup, mustard, mayonnaise, or a glop called “curry sauce”. The mustard wasn’t that bright yellow atrocity consumed in the United States. German mustard was usually flavored with horseradish.
Do they still have french fry stands in Germany?
BTW, the french fries you could get from street vendors was better in Paris. A lot of things are.
Curry catsup is not glop. In Berlin there are fries at currywurst stands. Don’t know about the rest of Germany.
Both Belgian and German condiments are pretty popular in hipster places in America.
I’m heading over this summer to Cologne, Weimar and Berlin. I will attempt to sample fries in each location. I know you didn’t ask, but I am also willing to check on the local beer supply.
My brother lives in Berlin, I can ask when I talk to him this weekend.
Michael- I hear they have some pretty good Rieslings over there, so please sample a few of those for us also.

I will also investigate whiskies.
