Peter's Mum's Soda Bread Recipes: the comment thread

Folks,

A new wave of comment spam is passing through the Net at the moment, and because Peter's Mum's recipe is one of the most popular pages on our site, it's being targeted by comment spammers. As a result, comments on that page have been shut down.

But we're still interested in hearing from anybody who has questions about the recipe or the techniques in the video. This is where to post them.

Welcome!

Belgium and the Netherlands: Online Sources for Mayonnaise and Friet Sauces

Various site visitors have contacted us to say that they've been trying to find genuine Belgian / Dutch mayonnaise, or various sauces for frites (frietsaus), without success.

We've therefore done a little research and have managed to locate some online sources where you can order these items. Please note that each supplier has its own limitations about where they'll ship to, and you may have to check several before you find one that will suit you.

Contrary to popular belief....

French fries were not invented in France, but in Belgium (they got the name because US "doughboys" in World War I were posted in a French-speaking part of Belgium when they discovered them). Visit the page where we share the recipe for making perfect fries the original, traditional Belgian way!

And here are some of the main Belgian sites about frites, their history, and "Fry culture" in Belgium.

The Belgian Fries Site (site available in both Dutch and English)
John's Frietshop and Belgian Fries Pages. Yet another study of the Art of the Frite by the people who invented them. The only Friet stall we know that has its own Net connection. Websurf while John makes your fries...!
