The fries with gravy and cheese is basically Poutine, but it would be made with curd cheese and poutine gravy (or a really hearty homemade brown sauce) from Canada. You could do a whole video on versions of poutine in Canada.
Those "disco fries" have me more bothered than I thought it would... That's a poutine... When I don't have cheese curds, I just use what I have for cheese...
@@tyneshacarriere2531 Absolutely, and most fast food places in Canada also use shredded mozzarella and call it poutine because it is so much more cost effective than cheese curds. When I made actual homemade poutine with curds for my kids, my son was annoyed because his cheese didn't fully melt like he was accustomed to.
As a Canadian I see the disco fries and think how they are a version of our famous poutine. Traditional poutine uses cheese curds but there are lots of variations using different cheeses. Some of those look amazing
i’m canadian too! sometimes we make “disco fries” too just bc we always have mozzarella cheese on hand instead of cheese curds :(. but traditional poutine is def my fave
I'm starting to think there's a version in every anglophone country! Chips with cheese and gravy (or chippy-style curry sauce) is also a really common late night food here in the UK. The cheese is usually awful, dry, pre-grated mild cheddar, but occasionally you'll find a good place which uses mozzarella. They all look to be a pale imitation of Canadian poutine though, that stuff looks like the king of all "stuff-on-fries" dishes, I hope I get to try it one day!
The Belgian andalouse sauce actually has no chunks in it. It is basically a mixed-to-smooth mayonaise, ketchup, onion, bell pepper, chiliflakes, some lemon juice and salt.
I was so confused with the Belgian one, haha. I mean, andalouse doesn't look like that and is def not the most popular sauce in my opinion. I think overall mayonaise is king I think :p
Beryl, not sure if you've ever thought about doing a "what I put on popcorn" episode, or whether anyone but myself puts things on popcorn.... but if you're looking for something to try; Clubhouse roasted garlic and pepper seasoning and sugar. Sweet and salty yummy combo. When I eat it in small bowls, I'll drizzle a little agave/honey over it too (only in small amounts so it doesn't sog). Loved the video, keep up the great work. Muchlovealways
I love trying out different popcorn flavourings! Will give this a try next! My current favourites are honey-butter and smoked paprika with nutritional yeast
Patatas bravas are served with salsa brava (flour, onion, olive oil and spicy paprika). In some places are served with both mayo and brava, in case you don't fancy something so spicy, but not allioli.
@@Charlzton Yes, it's delicious in everything, and patatas al allioli are an awesome tapa too, but if you ask for bravas in any bar and you have them served with allioli you can only be sure of two things: one, you are in a touristy place with cheap quality, and two, that's not allioli, it's just garlic mayo. If on top of that, instead of salsa brava you are given chilli oil, dude, that's a serious scam for foreigners...
@@gisela1477 it depends on the region. On mine, and also on others, bravas are usually made with allioli (with some paprika also sometimes) even in the most old tavern of the smallest town lost in the mountains. So not al allioli fries are cheap touristy stuff. But yeah, most probably the original bravas are the ones with the salsa brava. By the way, another discusion can be started about the ingredients of salsa brava XD.
the German fries with ketchup and mayo are called "Schranke", because that means 'railway barrier' because railway barriers here are red and white.. Loved the episode! Got a lot of ideas for future fries cravings
Yeah me too...i guess piri piri mix is more famous than the chat masala one...never even heard of chat masala fries actually...sounds interesting though 😅
The literal BEST fries I’ve ever tasted in my life was patats oorlog from Holland. Every time i arrive or leave the country these are the first and last things I have. It’s topped with Mayo and satay sauce. Heavenly.
This was great! Disco fries reminded me of one of Canada's signature Francophone dishes: poutine. You can get poutine pretty much anywhere in Canada, though. My favourite is from Fisherman's Wharf in Victoria - it's curried seafood chowder on top of fries sprinkled with blue cheese.
The “disco fries” seem very similar to poutine from Canada. Usually cheese curds are used instead of mozzarella for an authentic poutine. But any combination of cheese, fries, and gravy= poutine for me
Here in Honduras fries are usually served with ketchup, grated dry (salty) cheese, and sometimes a little shredded cabbage on top. Often accompanied with a sausage link (spicy chorizo). I should have sent in that idea.
We do the fries like New Jersey in Louisiana but use the drippings gravy from cooking the beef for the po-boys (sprinkle Tabasco sauce if you like spicy). (vegetarians use brown gravy) They are boo fries. We also make them into a po-boy as a substitute for the meat. Imagine a bun with dressed with lettuce tomatoes, mayo, hot sauce, gravy, cheese, and fries. It is one of my favorite foods from when I was a teenager.
I've never heard of the Turkish one but I can easily believe it's true since we have many dishes in our cuisine that you learn new every day. Usually, we'll have fries with ketchup, mayonnaise, bbq, etc., sometimes, they add spices to fries while cooking to spice it up.

Add it to your rice by adding to the liquid you cook it in.
Well there you go! I'm an Aussie too and have always looked sideways at chicken salt as it wasn't something I grew up with - but based on your comment I'm definitely going to get some!! Are they all the same - any particular brand that you'd recommend please?
@@andersonomo597 Oh wow! Yes definitely give it a try 😊. I don't even know when it became a thing but feels like it's been around a long time. I love that yellow umami salty goodness on my chippies whenever I go to the fish and chip shop. 🤤 There's a lot of different brands that vary slightly but the most popular is probably Chippy chicken salt by the brand Anchor. You can buy it where you buy your usual spices in the supermarkets.
I think there was misinterpretation for the Belgian part: Andalouse sauce is actually mayo with tomato paste and chili powder. No bell pepper involved. The sauce also has nothing to do with Andalusia. The creator just wanted an exotic name.
I was curious and googled Andalouse sauce, and lots of the results have bell peppers in the recipe. There are some with just chili powder, but most of the results on the first page of the search included bell peppers.
@@RennesDesVilles35 Or perhaps the old way, and they simplified it by taking the chunky bits out. Certainly makes it easier to sell in plastic bottles that way :-)
This takes me back to the "Furikake fries"from an episode a while ago.. it was delicious!! it was also the first thing from a Beryl video that I ever tried making at home.
These all look great, definitely trying these. In the UK we eat fries with salt and malt vinegar as the base and then your main sauce varies by region. I live dipping my chips in gravy or chip shop curry sauce. Reminds me of being at university in Manchester
I really want to try the Hong Kong fries! I used to love the Shake Shake Fries from McDonalds HK (I use past tense only because it's been years since I've had them). My go-to toppings for fries at home are usually Kewpie mayo, okonomiyaki sauce and seaweed flakes. Sometimes, I have the mayo, ketchup and paprika combo
Try 'patatje oorlog' from the Netherlands! It's made with french fries (the thin ones), peanut/satay sauce, mayo and minced onions. It's weird, but amazing
I love the topping series. I have ideas for a toppings series or look a like. It is "What is a typical salad from your country" or "what's a typical party food at your country' or "what is the typical birthday cake at your country".
@underground97 Thanks for letting me know. We are from South Jersey near the military bases. We have family in North Jersey, Rutherford, and further north northwest. My family is originally from Jersey City. I haven't been back to NJ in a few years. Take care
so happy to see greece represented in this video! 'greek fries' (what they're called in the states) is such a simple recipe but it's so, so good -- glad to see you liked it!
@@LindaC616 za’atar is good on popcorn too, if she’s looking for other ways to use it. Or on a bagel with cream cheese. Or on yogurt noodles (also an easy dish your friend should totally check out). Or on top of a steak or burger. 🤤
I love how the video composition and the way how everyone presents themselves differently makes it feel so much like Eurovision scorings just with food 😄
Here in southern California we have chili cheese pastrami fries with grilled onions on top the fries & we also have carne asada fries which are fries with pico ( salsa) carne asada( skirt steak),green onions, guacamole, sour cream an cheese on top of french fries
The pepper chunks in the andalouse sauce is quite big. But here in belgium when you go to a frit you are provided a smorgasbord of sauses. Sometimes it's overwhelming to choose the one. I think a more traditional sause would be a stoofvles sause with frit.
Oooh I like this episode! As a Dutchie my favorite french fry toppings are mayonnaise, curry ketchup and raw onions, which we call "friet speciaal" or special fries! You should try it if you ever make a follow up :)
There's this place in south Mumbai called 145 kala ghoda, they serve fries- named as animal fries. Even though they have animal in their name it does not contain any meat but I can't explain what exactly is there in the fries. If you ever visit Mumbai please do try it.
I enjoy your videos so much! I watch them multiple times. Just tried the taro root and pork floss toast recipe. Can't wait to try all these fries recipes!
Another varied and interesting episode. Love how you spelled out French Fry in Fries, takes me back to your earlier videos and your notebook. They were always so cute. I also loved your use of different plates for each dish. When you got to the dog plate (which was so cute) it reminded me that we haven't seen your dog recently. Please let him/her make a cameo soon! I currently have to eat very low carb (so no fries for me ;0( but I am going to try some of these over chickpeas!
Beryl, you’re so delightful on video that you’re one of the few content creators that I don’t skip the sponsored bits when there’s one on the video! Cheers from Brazil!
"WHo came up with this?" Disco fries seem to be a twist on the Canadian national dish called poutine - fries, gravy and fresh cheese curds. And yes. It's the perfect druink food (and any other time food).
Poutine is SOOOO good. I tried it for the first time during a night of heavy drinking with friends and it's perfect pub food. I'd eat it any time though with some good home made chips and cheese
I’m from Québec (the birthplace of poutine) and no, you can’t replace the cheese curds with shredded cheese. It has to be cheese curds or it’s not a poutine! 🤣
Other than making me really hungry, I was really impressed with all the various plates and background set-ups you used!! Well done - a huge gold star for that alone!!
Nothing beats french fries dipped in a mix of mayo, curry powder and garlic... although I've had the Greek version in Macedonia and holy smokes, oregano and fries were MADE for each other!
Love your videos! Yes it is necessary that we see you react as you try the different foods also I love all the little collage of interesting things that are set out when you're showing the plate. Like the little dust Sprite sticker!
I sent beryl that sticker! She used my little handmade mushroom for the Germany fries recipe shot too! I love the detail she puts into her table settings and it made my entire week to see my creation in her video!
I'm not sure if this is a thing or not, but one of my favorite ways to eat french fries is with refried beans, chile Verde, and maybe an egg. It's a popular dish in my neighborhood in L.A. I think you may like it....also I love the new style of video ❤️❤️❤️
I have to say I actually like it better when you go recipe by recipe and talk some more about origins of the dish etc. You’re adorable either way and I love your content and your pizazz!
As an American who used to live in Australia: it should be noted that “tomato sauce” is what they call ketchup. I was so confused at first since in america tomato sauce is basically pizza/pasta sauce. And yes, chicken salt is a life changer🤤
I was wondering if she would know that detail and was glad that she did. I'm American but I knew from Australian and British reality TV shows that ketchup is called tomato sauce in Australia and the UK, so I was wondering if that would be mentioned somewhere in the comments 😋
i didn't know that. Thanks. Also, does chicken salt use chicken, or is it just chicken flavored. (sorta like those meat flavored chips that don't actually have meat in them)
You need to try proper sauce Andalouse as it's definitely not as healthy as your version (not sure if it can be send to the US) but it's definitely a staple here in Belgium, home of the frites :) . Sauce Brasil is delicious too. Living in Scotland, I bring some every time I go home! Thank you for representing Belgium ;)
You have to do a part 2 and include Chilean "Chorrillana", you take a hefty serving of french fries and top it with caramelized onion, thin slices of beef (cooked with the onions), longaniza (a type of chorizo) or sausages cut in slices and one fried egg per portion... you can add your favorite condiments if you want. Chorrillana has become a signature Chilean dish
You've sold me on the Bokksu thing. My dad was born to American missionaries in Japan, and though they moved back to the States when he was still quite young, the country has stayed a part of him. In particular, Japanese food has always been something he really enjoys. For his next birthday, I'll be getting him at least the Seasons of Japan box. I think he'll appreciate it, and I have every intention of mooching some and turning it into a father-daughter bonding thing :) Thanks for making me aware of it.
I can't believe that they overlooked the national dish of Canada. I'm an American who lives close to the border and when I think of fries, the first thing that comes to mind is poutine which are far better than the Disco Fries.
In Australia if you get cheese added to chips and gravy it's grated Tasty cheese (it's a mild type of cheddar cheese). I'd love to try proper poutine some day but honestly any gravy + cheese combo on chips/fries is great
Yeah it’s literally poutine but the cheap diner version lmao . What’s with this knockoff poutine being added to the episode but leaving out real poutine
@@heidi3737 Omg pudding on fries sounds so cursed. Some people do dip them in shakes though... HSPs are the best way to end a night out or have comfort food. Even some vegetarian places here will make a version of it.
I was going to submit chicken salt from Australia, so I'm glad someone else did! I only recently realised it was something unique to here. Chicken salt doesn't actually have chicken in it. I believe it's meant to be seasoning for roast chicken.
I live in the capital of Canada, Ottawa, ON, which shares a border with Gatineau, QC. It is fascinating to see how passionate Quebecers can be about poutine, compared to other provinces. I have seen disco fries being called poutine in Western Canada; this would be considered sacrilege to many Quebecers. After spending 11 years in a relationship with a Quebecer, I still wouldn’t trust myself to make a poutine that lived up to his standards (has to be Saint Albert’s cheese curds, still fresh so that they squeak, it has to be a bbq chicken gravy that’s a bit sweet, & the fries need to be lightly crispy, but still tender (I think). While my poutine palette is nowhere near as refrined (*cough*picky*cough*) as his, I have to admit, when he took me to a Gatineau chip shack for “pogo-poutine”, I was floored. Fresh cut fries that has been soaking in an apple cider vinegar bath, perfectly fried & smothered in still squeaking cheese curds & a lightly sweet gravy, paired with the most delicious homemade pogo (corndog) & a side of house made sweet mustard for dipping. The experience made me understand the sacrilege of calling “disco fries” poutine. That said, I fricken’ LOVE the name “disco fries” & I firmly believe these two variations on cheese & gravy french fry deliciousness each have their own unique place in my universe.
There is a Greek/Mediterranean restaurant where I live that offers those Greek fries, but they also add chopped kalamata olives, pepperoncini and tomato. They have another fry option with sea salt, parmesan, parsley and truffle oil. I always get one or the other. Both are delicious
I absolutly love your channel beryl! I always have so much fun seeing your videos!! The most suprising and delicious fries for me were the ones from hong kong!! Fried panko with garlic OMG i am absolutly going to do it. I imagine that seasoning in rice works as well!! ❤🔥
poutine from quebec has what we call ''squick squick cheese'' from the sound it makes when you chew it!! its basically cheddar but the noise makes the whole difference, trust me.
The chicken salt is meant to be more flavours you would put on a roast chicken than actual chicken flavour, the name can be a little confusing, and the stuff they use at hot chip shops is usually really yellow (I don't know why), supermarket stuff to me never really tastes the same as getting chips with chicken salt from a chip shop
I have an inhuman love of fries so this was very dangerous. 😛 Also, for some reason I read to this as “what you put on cucumbers” and I feel like that should be a thing…
I love a toasted sharp cheddar, cucumber, and mayo sandwich. It's delicious. Lately I've been adding some habinaro monterey jack as well. It's so good!
@@louisejohnson6057 I’ll probably have to replace the mayo for butter since I have none 😆 But I love those ingredients in a sandwich and you’ve just sorted my dinner plans for this evening so thank you! 😊
@@themadmarchhare24 , Lately I've been putting in bacon as well. My mouth is watering and my tummy just started to rumble, lol! Enjoy your meal, and try it with the mayo next time you have some in the house.
Watching Beryl eat on the videos is one of my favourite things. I'm glad that she chose to eat on these topping videos. I still miss the welcoming backdrop of her home though. 😉 Keep going Beryl. You are doing a great job 👍
As a Canadian that shredded cheese and gravy number made my eye twitch 😆 some sketchy restaurants here try to pass that off as poutine. And to the untrained eye it might look similar. But it's not😆
@@justhereforthevideos2798 oooohhhh... I can understand that.. you guys are big on cheese curds lol but we have some really good options for shredded cheese here.. I've only recently been able to find cheese curds, so I plan on actually making poutine to try it. Are cheese curds like chunks of cheese..? Lol idk 🤷🏾♀️
Oh my God, that bee plate is gorgeous! So many fun ideas to try now! I sense a trip to my local Indian grocery soon. Edit: Sonia, love hearing your Australian accent in your English.
Pub Gravy, an Aussie classic will always have my heart, chicken salt a close second. But there are no bad french fry/chip toppings, everything tastes great on a fry. Chicken salt goes on chickens it isn't chicken flavored originally made for rotisserie chickens you'd buy at a fish & chip shop. (or Costco in the US).
as an australian, i absolutely LOVED that the aussie person said what Aboriginal country theyre living in. i’m also in Wurundjeri 💗 in australia, we also have something called an HSP, which stands for halal snack pack. you can get them from kebab shops that are often ran by Muslim people. the fries are topped with shaved lamb (cooked in spices you use for kebab), garlic sauce, and chilli sauce. sometimes it also has melted cheese. it’s very common to eat this after a night of clubbing (so much so that people sometimes refer to clubbing as pres for the kebab shop). even if you don’t make it a video, you should definitely try it!
Ooh HSP could be a good idea for a video! Maybe Beryl could do a similar video to previous ones where she collaborates with someone in said country (this time, Australia) and shows them going to get a HSP and eating it and she then also makes one herself. (Unless there's a Kebab place there that will make it for her - It's just meats, cheese, sauces and chips).
@@kazzagreen84It's definitely not just a Melbourne thing nor is it a new thing. Been around for years. They're all over Sydney . And in fact some dispute that they were invented or first conceived in Adelaide 🤷♀️. I don't know where in Brisbane you live but Halal snack packs are all over Australia including Brisbane🙂. Most Kebab shops have the snack packs on their menu.
What I like about Fries is that "anything goes"! They are so versatile and any topping is bound to taste fantastic. My favourite at the moment is Poutine, simple but so, so tasty.
True, true, true. I am most known for dousing my fries in mustard (especially DILL mustard), with or without hot sauce, but I also keep a few bottles of SALAD DRESSING in the fridge to top off a plate of frites. The last few years, those bottles have been of the poppy seed, bleu cheese, and creamy cucumber varieties. And in the cold of winter, I sometimes just stir in a blob of Imperial margarine spread, further stir in a sprinkling of Parmesan or Romano, and grind black pepper on top.
In Belgium we top our fries often with “stoofvleessaus” and mayonnaise. Stoofvleessaus is the typical sweet&sour gravy from our national dish “stoverij”. A beef stew made with a Trappist (beer) and a slice of bread smeared with Dijon mustard. We let it stew for a long time . The meat becomes super soft and the saus tastes so rich.
The fries with gravy and cheese is basically Poutine, but it would be made with curd cheese and poutine gravy (or a really hearty homemade brown sauce) from Canada. You could do a whole video on versions of poutine in Canada.
Yes poutine is its own universe

I was curious and googled Andalouse sauce, and lots of the results have bell peppers in the recipe. There are some with just chili powder, but most of the results on the first page of the search included bell peppers.
Hi 😊 @sven V is right it is actually a kind of spicy Mayo ! I was kinda confused when I saw the video but it’s ok, maybe it’s new way to eat them !
@@RennesDesVilles35 Or perhaps the old way, and they simplified it by taking the chunky bits out. Certainly makes it easier to sell in plastic bottles that way :-)
I like to watch you try it bc your expression honestly tells me more about how you feel about the food than your words.
As fries lovers, this made me drooling excessively.
I'm going to try some of these! Thank you for making this video, Beryl. Have a great week!
I love your settings for each plate! Good set design
This takes me back to the "Furikake fries"from an episode a while ago.. it was delicious!! it was also the first thing from a Beryl video that I ever tried making at home.
These all look great, definitely trying these. In the UK we eat fries with salt and malt vinegar as the base and then your main sauce varies by region. I live dipping my chips in gravy or chip shop curry sauce. Reminds me of being at university in Manchester
I really want to try the Hong Kong fries! I used to love the Shake Shake Fries from McDonalds HK (I use past tense only because it's been years since I've had them).
My go-to toppings for fries at home are usually Kewpie mayo, okonomiyaki sauce and seaweed flakes. Sometimes, I have the mayo, ketchup and paprika combo
I also love the Shake Shake fries here! My favourite is definitely the seaweed flavour
Thanks for featuring Hong Kong in the episode Beryl! Glad to know you enjoyed our take as well as all the flavours of the world ;)
Try 'patatje oorlog' from the Netherlands! It's made with french fries (the thin ones), peanut/satay sauce, mayo and minced onions. It's weird, but amazing
The best way of eating fries in the Netherlands is kapsalon, but maybe that's too many additions so it doesn't count as just "fries" anymore!
She already made a video with patatje oorlog 👏🏽
I love the topping series. I have ideas for a toppings series or look a like. It is "What is a typical salad from your country" or "what's a typical party food at your country' or "what is the typical birthday cake at your country".
I thought you said you had disco fries before; I’m so glad I was able to introduce them to you and that you liked them! 🍟 🧀 🥰
Hi! I'm from New Jersey and never heard of disco fries. If you don't mind, what part of New Jersey are you from?
@@irishpixierose hey! I’m from NWNJ, about an hour outside of NYC.
@underground97 Thanks for letting me know. We are from South Jersey near the military bases. We have family in North Jersey, Rutherford, and further north northwest. My family is originally from Jersey City. I haven't been back to NJ in a few years. Take care
We love disco fries here in NY too (north from the city). All the diners and cafes around here serve it. We also have disco chicken fingers.
so happy to see greece represented in this video! 'greek fries' (what they're called in the states) is such a simple recipe but it's so, so good -- glad to see you liked it!
Hey Beryl, i grew up in Erie Pa and we also had disco fries. They are very similar to Poutine from Canada . They are delicious !
OOH that brown gravy and mozzie combie looks sooo good!!! AND simple!
In England we go either just malt vinegar and salt (+/- ketchup or mayo) or curry sauce!
Oooih, curry sauce sounds yummy!
@@a.humphries8678 it issss
Your videos always manage to put a smile on my face, no matter how hard my day is going. Is just your general vibes
This Middle Eastern restaurant near me serves za’atar fries. They are absolutely delicious!
Yes! So yummy.
Is it just za'atar? Just asking, for a friend who happens to have quite a bit in her kitchen atm....
@@LindaC616 za’atar is good on popcorn too, if she’s looking for other ways to use it. Or on a bagel with cream cheese. Or on yogurt noodles (also an easy dish your friend should totally check out). Or on top of a steak or burger. 🤤
@@sevenandthelittlestmew 👍
@@sevenandthelittlestmew What kind of noodles are used for yogurt noodles?
I love how the video composition and the way how everyone presents themselves differently makes it feel so much like Eurovision scorings just with food 😄
Here in southern California we have chili cheese pastrami fries with grilled onions on top the fries & we also have carne asada fries which are fries with pico ( salsa) carne asada( skirt steak),green onions, guacamole, sour cream an cheese on top of french fries
As always a lot on top of a lot on top of an other lot ;-)
Hi. I just recently found your channel, not only informative but you are just the cutest little thing!
And at times hilarious!. Love it!
The pepper chunks in the andalouse sauce is quite big.
But here in belgium when you go to a frit you are provided a smorgasbord of sauses. Sometimes it's overwhelming to choose the one.
I think a more traditional sause would be a stoofvles sause with frit.
Oooh I like this episode! As a Dutchie my favorite french fry toppings are mayonnaise, curry ketchup and raw onions, which we call "friet speciaal" or special fries! You should try it if you ever make a follow up :)
Hadn’t had Pommes Spezial for a long time! I should really eat it again. I live close to the border so it’s basically everywhere.
There's this place in south Mumbai called 145 kala ghoda, they serve fries- named as animal fries. Even though they have animal in their name it does not contain any meat but I can't explain what exactly is there in the fries. If you ever visit Mumbai please do try it.
There's a chsin in Western US called in and out. Their "animal style" fries have onions, sauce, and cheese. Maybe they were "inspired" by in and out?
@@LindaC616 yeah may be. If you visit Mumbai sometime then please try them out maybe you'll like them too.
@@geekyowl165 will do! 🙂
I enjoy your videos so much! I watch them multiple times. Just tried the taro root and pork floss toast recipe. Can't wait to try all these fries recipes!
Another varied and interesting episode. Love how you spelled out French Fry in Fries, takes me back to your earlier videos and your notebook. They were always so cute. I also loved your use of different plates for each dish. When you got to the dog plate (which was so cute) it reminded me that we haven't seen your dog recently. Please let him/her make a cameo soon! I currently have to eat very low carb (so no fries for me ;0( but I am going to try some of these over chickpeas!
Beryl, you’re so delightful on video that you’re one of the few content creators that I don’t skip the sponsored bits when there’s one on the video! Cheers from Brazil!
"WHo came up with this?" Disco fries seem to be a twist on the Canadian national dish called poutine - fries, gravy and fresh cheese curds. And yes. It's the perfect druink food (and any other time food).
to new one loved the strawberries ideas!! very nice video. looking forward
Here in Canada, the fries with gravy and cheese curds is called a poutine. You can add any kind of shredded cheese instead of curds.
Poutine is SOOOO good. I tried it for the first time during a night of heavy drinking with friends and it's perfect pub food. I'd eat it any time though with some good home made chips and cheese
I’m from Québec (the birthplace of poutine) and no, you can’t replace the cheese curds with shredded cheese. It has to be cheese curds or it’s not a poutine! 🤣
Other than making me really hungry, I was really impressed with all the various plates and background set-ups you used!! Well done - a huge gold star for that alone!!
Nothing beats french fries dipped in a mix of mayo, curry powder and garlic... although I've had the Greek version in Macedonia and holy smokes, oregano and fries were MADE for each other!
It's also by far our most popular chips flavour!
Love your videos! Yes it is necessary that we see you react as you try the different foods also I love all the little collage of interesting things that are set out when you're showing the plate. Like the little dust Sprite sticker!
I sent beryl that sticker! She used my little handmade mushroom for the Germany fries recipe shot too! I love the detail she puts into her table settings and it made my entire week to see my creation in her video!
I'm not sure if this is a thing or not, but one of my favorite ways to eat french fries is with refried beans, chile Verde, and maybe an egg. It's a popular dish in my neighborhood in L.A. I think you may like it....also I love the new style of video ❤️❤️❤️
That sounds delicious!
I have to say I actually like it better when you go recipe by recipe and talk some more about origins of the dish etc. You’re adorable either way and I love your content and your pizazz!
As another born and raised east coaster (NYC!), I have also never heard of disco fries, but they look great! Like an American poutine.
Loved all the dry ideas but THOSE PLATES!!! I love plates.
As an American who used to live in Australia: it should be noted that “tomato sauce” is what they call ketchup. I was so confused at first since in america tomato sauce is basically pizza/pasta sauce.
And yes, chicken salt is a life changer🤤
I was wondering if she would know that detail and was glad that she did. I'm American but I knew from Australian and British reality TV shows that ketchup is called tomato sauce in Australia and the UK, so I was wondering if that would be mentioned somewhere in the comments 😋
i didn't know that. Thanks. Also, does chicken salt use chicken, or is it just chicken flavored. (sorta like those meat flavored chips that don't actually have meat in them)
@@fmusopp Someone else in the comments pointed out its likely designed to be added to roast chicken, much like how steak sauce doesn't contain steak
I love a soft, runny egg on just about any savoury dish but dipping fries in the yolk is just so moreish!
You need to try proper sauce Andalouse as it's definitely not as healthy as your version (not sure if it can be send to the US) but it's definitely a staple here in Belgium, home of the frites :) . Sauce Brasil is delicious too. Living in Scotland, I bring some every time I go home! Thank you for representing Belgium ;)
I love Beryl's unapologetic undying love for Adventure Time 😭 cause same.
You have to do a part 2 and include Chilean "Chorrillana", you take a hefty serving of french fries and top it with caramelized onion, thin slices of beef (cooked with the onions), longaniza (a type of chorizo) or sausages cut in slices and one fried egg per portion... you can add your favorite condiments if you want. Chorrillana has become a signature Chilean dish
Yess!! This 😍
she already did this

Thank u Tina 😍
@@elohelemily thanks!
You've sold me on the Bokksu thing. My dad was born to American missionaries in Japan, and though they moved back to the States when he was still quite young, the country has stayed a part of him. In particular, Japanese food has always been something he really enjoys. For his next birthday, I'll be getting him at least the Seasons of Japan box. I think he'll appreciate it, and I have every intention of mooching some and turning it into a father-daughter bonding thing :) Thanks for making me aware of it.
The American Disco Fries are like a budget version of Canada's Poutine! I'm sad I didn't get to see poutine in this episode :(
I can't believe that they overlooked the national dish of Canada. I'm an American who lives close to the border and when I think of fries, the first thing that comes to mind is poutine which are far better than the Disco Fries.
In Australia if you get cheese added to chips and gravy it's grated Tasty cheese (it's a mild type of cheddar cheese). I'd love to try proper poutine some day but honestly any gravy + cheese combo on chips/fries is great
Yeah it’s literally poutine but the cheap diner version lmao . What’s with this knockoff poutine being added to the episode but leaving out real poutine
hehe I emailed about poutine!
I commented on the same thing.
You eating them is my FAVORITE PART! Thank you!
No HSP? 😮 As another person living in Melbourne, Halal Snack Packs are almost the standard topping for fries here
I had to look this up because as an American I read "Snack Pack" and thought of pudding/custard. The HSP looks amazing though!
@@heidi3737 Omg pudding on fries sounds so cursed. Some people do dip them in shakes though... HSPs are the best way to end a night out or have comfort food. Even some vegetarian places here will make a version of it.
I'm suprised to see not one of them had the bacon, cheese and ketchup combo common in Brazil.
Love the different plates. Very pretty
I was going to submit chicken salt from Australia, so I'm glad someone else did! I only recently realised it was something unique to here. Chicken salt doesn't actually have chicken in it. I believe it's meant to be seasoning for roast chicken.
I’m glad you posted this because I was envisioning something like Salt + Chicken Bouillon Powder from the name, lol
@@vysharra it is chicken flavour eg chicken stock mixed with salt. Atleast in New Zealand it is.
Some chicken salt does have chicken in it...
Disco Fries are just a spin off of poutine! 😄 We literally have songs about poutine, here in Canada!
As always, love your video Beryl!
I live in the capital of Canada, Ottawa, ON, which shares a border with Gatineau, QC. It is fascinating to see how passionate Quebecers can be about poutine, compared to other provinces. I have seen disco fries being called poutine in Western Canada; this would be considered sacrilege to many Quebecers. After spending 11 years in a relationship with a Quebecer, I still wouldn’t trust myself to make a poutine that lived up to his standards (has to be Saint Albert’s cheese curds, still fresh so that they squeak, it has to be a bbq chicken gravy that’s a bit sweet, & the fries need to be lightly crispy, but still tender (I think). While my poutine palette is nowhere near as refrined (*cough*picky*cough*) as his, I have to admit, when he took me to a Gatineau chip shack for “pogo-poutine”, I was floored. Fresh cut fries that has been soaking in an apple cider vinegar bath, perfectly fried & smothered in still squeaking cheese curds & a lightly sweet gravy, paired with the most delicious homemade pogo (corndog) & a side of house made sweet mustard for dipping. The experience made me understand the sacrilege of calling “disco fries” poutine. That said, I fricken’ LOVE the name “disco fries” & I firmly believe these two variations on cheese & gravy french fry deliciousness each have their own unique place in my universe.
Well, poutine was invented in Quebec in the late 50s, so it's understandable that we take so much pride in it. 😉
I love, love, love this series!
aren't the disco fries just Poutine but with a different cheese? looks delicious anyways!
Look more like Americanized poutine. That's probably how they'd be sold if, God forbid, Canadian food became a fad.
Totally different. Disco fries are gravy plus cheese.
@@Fwibos poutine is also gravy + cheese lol. it's made with cheese curds though.
@@emk3 RIght. Totally different.
@@Fwibos it's not that different though.
There is a Greek/Mediterranean restaurant where I live that offers those Greek fries, but they also add chopped kalamata olives, pepperoncini and tomato. They have another fry option with sea salt, parmesan, parsley and truffle oil. I always get one or the other. Both are delicious
We need a part 2 and you should taste the Dutch (the Netherlands) version. Patatje oorlog :)! it translate to War fries 😅
I absolutly love your channel beryl! I always have so much fun seeing your videos!! The most suprising and delicious fries for me were the ones from hong kong!! Fried panko with garlic OMG i am absolutly going to do it. I imagine that seasoning in rice works as well!! ❤🔥
That ketchup looks like a Korean brand. I definitely want to try Turkey fries!!
poutine from quebec has what we call ''squick squick cheese'' from the sound it makes when you chew it!! its basically cheddar but the noise makes the whole difference, trust me.
The chicken salt is meant to be more flavours you would put on a roast chicken than actual chicken flavour, the name can be a little confusing, and the stuff they use at hot chip shops is usually really yellow (I don't know why), supermarket stuff to me never really tastes the same as getting chips with chicken salt from a chip shop
Yes! It's so hard to describe it to people that haven't had it before but when you eat it, you know 🤤
Yeah. I was a little disappointed in her reaction. I was like "she mustn't have the right stuff". Haha 😂
Great video. The kitty cameo was really fun.
I have an inhuman love of fries so this was very dangerous. 😛 Also, for some reason I read to this as “what you put on cucumbers” and I feel like that should be a thing…
I love a toasted sharp cheddar, cucumber, and mayo sandwich. It's delicious. Lately I've been adding some habinaro monterey jack as well. It's so good!
That should definitely be the subject of a show if it hasn't been done already.
@@louisejohnson6057 I’ll probably have to replace the mayo for butter since I have none 😆 But I love those ingredients in a sandwich and you’ve just sorted my dinner plans for this evening so thank you! 😊
@@themadmarchhare24 , Lately I've been putting in bacon as well. My mouth is watering and my tummy just started to rumble, lol! Enjoy your meal, and try it with the mayo next time you have some in the house.
Watching Beryl eat on the videos is one of my favourite things. I'm glad that she chose to eat on these topping videos. I still miss the welcoming backdrop of her home though. 😉 Keep going Beryl. You are doing a great job 👍
As a Canadian that shredded cheese and gravy number made my eye twitch 😆 some sketchy restaurants here try to pass that off as poutine. And to the untrained eye it might look similar. But it's not😆
As someone FROM New Jersey, it's NOT poutine and we're not trying to have it be that. That's Canada's thing...
@@kalihqabrown4907 lol I know it's not trying to be poutine. Just that here the shredded cheese is an abomination😆😆
@@justhereforthevideos2798 oooohhhh... I can understand that.. you guys are big on cheese curds lol but we have some really good options for shredded cheese here.. I've only recently been able to find cheese curds, so I plan on actually making poutine to try it. Are cheese curds like chunks of cheese..? Lol idk 🤷🏾♀️
So glad you tried our chicken salt chips from Australia.
Some of the other toppings looked super yummy too.
Oh my God, that bee plate is gorgeous! So many fun ideas to try now! I sense a trip to my local Indian grocery soon. Edit: Sonia, love hearing your Australian accent in your English.
Fried egg goes with everything. I am learning this from your channel.
Everytime I see poutine in any video I feel regret not being born in Canada
Not a day goes by that I'm not happy to be Canadian. There have however, been times when I've been glad that I don't live in Ottawa.
3:17 I'm Saudi from Jeddah. In street food they put garlic sauce, tamarind, sauce containing green pepper with cilantro and ketchup.
Gravy and Cheese.
Beryl, this was so fun! I can't wait to try as many of them as possible.
Pub Gravy, an Aussie classic will always have my heart, chicken salt a close second. But there are no bad french fry/chip toppings, everything tastes great on a fry. Chicken salt goes on chickens it isn't chicken flavored originally made for rotisserie chickens you'd buy at a fish & chip shop. (or Costco in the US).
Omg I spy my mushroom I sent you!!! Thank you for making my day Beryl!!! VibrantVibes by Sam loves you & your channel so much!!
Currry sauce and cheese
This visuals in this vid were so cute 🙂
as an australian, i absolutely LOVED that the aussie person said what Aboriginal country theyre living in. i’m also in Wurundjeri 💗
in australia, we also have something called an HSP, which stands for halal snack pack. you can get them from kebab shops that are often ran by Muslim people. the fries are topped with shaved lamb (cooked in spices you use for kebab), garlic sauce, and chilli sauce. sometimes it also has melted cheese. it’s very common to eat this after a night of clubbing (so much so that people sometimes refer to clubbing as pres for the kebab shop). even if you don’t make it a video, you should definitely try it!
Ooh HSP could be a good idea for a video! Maybe Beryl could do a similar video to previous ones where she collaborates with someone in said country (this time, Australia) and shows them going to get a HSP and eating it and she then also makes one herself. (Unless there's a Kebab place there that will make it for her - It's just meats, cheese, sauces and chips).
I was thinking of a HSP when I saw the title of this episode.love it with BBQ and hot chilli sauce combo myself.
I have never heard of this. Is it a Melbourne thing? I live in Brisbane.
Karen - they are definitely all over Melbourne. Literally every other corner in some suburbs.
@@kazzagreen84It's definitely not just a Melbourne thing nor is it a new thing. Been around for years. They're all over Sydney . And in fact some dispute that they were invented or first conceived in Adelaide 🤷♀️. I don't know where in Brisbane you live but Halal snack packs are all over Australia including Brisbane🙂. Most Kebab shops have the snack packs on their menu.
I looove this series😍😍😍😍
..The American dish is just how lower income canadians make poutine...
Thank you for all the ideas!
we need a part 2! i want carne asada fries representation 🥲
I love all your Anthropologie plates! I'm not sure you can go wrong with fries! My favorite snack. 😋
Great video. I like trying different toppings on fries.
What I like about Fries is that "anything goes"! They are so versatile and any topping is bound to taste fantastic. My favourite at the moment is Poutine, simple but so, so tasty.
True, true, true. I am most known for dousing my fries in mustard (especially DILL mustard), with or without hot sauce, but I also keep a few bottles of SALAD DRESSING in the fridge to top off a plate of frites. The last few years, those bottles have been of the poppy seed, bleu cheese, and creamy cucumber varieties. And in the cold of winter, I sometimes just stir in a blob of Imperial margarine spread, further stir in a sprinkling of Parmesan or Romano, and grind black pepper on top.
In Belgium we top our fries often with “stoofvleessaus” and mayonnaise. Stoofvleessaus is the typical sweet&sour gravy from our national dish “stoverij”. A beef stew made with a Trappist (beer) and a slice of bread smeared with Dijon mustard. We let it stew for a long time . The meat becomes super soft and the saus tastes so rich.
