Samurai sauce
Appearance
Samurai sauce (Template:Lang-fr) is a Belgian condiment commonly served with French fries. The sauce is also popular and widely used throughout France, not to be confused with Algerian sauce (North Africa sauce) . There is indeed a version also called Algerian sauce which is similar to Samurai sauce, but with onions. According to Harry Pearson, author of A Tall Man In A Low Land: Some Time Among the Belgians, mobile friteries in Belgium often have samurai sauce, with some making it their special item.[1] In addition, many kebab restaurants have Samurai sauce as an available condiment. The sauce is made with mayonnaise, ketchup, and harissa or Sambal Oelek.[2]
