This Monday, August 1st was Belgian fries day. On average, we eat 16 kg per year. If some taste them once a week, others love them. This is particularly the case of Gurbet. Originally from Ghent, the 39-year-old woman has eaten it every day… for 30 years, just that!
“As a child, I was difficult to eat. That’s why my parents always gave me fries, ”she explains to Nieuwsblad. But how does she taste them? Each time with: salt, ketchup, mayonnaise and simmering sauce.
“I sometimes eat fruit and vegetables, but not enough”, laughs Gurbet, who adds, “I always order fries at the restaurant. Am I bored? Never ! “.
Fan of fries, the one who runs a shoe store in Langemunt opened her chip shop with her companion, right next to her business. “It was a dream for me,” she says.
But then, how does this hardcore fanatic prepare her favorite dish? She explains that “the fries are fresh and cooked in vegetable oil. This way you get crispy fries full of flavor. Snacks, sauces and a wide vegetarian selection are on the menu. Later, we also want to make pitta”.
