Inquiry about Belgian fries (and sauces)

And, these days fries aren't baked in horse fat anymore. Plenty of shops use bio fat or fat that's healthier, because these days health is a very big issue in the frying business. And the rules concerning health are getting strickter every day.
And, I've read about Flanders Frites, but it's not really a typical Belgian fry shop. They serve breakfast, lunch, omelets … An authentic Belgian fry shop only serves fries, sauces and fried meats such as bitter balls, egg roll, 'cervela', 'curryworst', 'saté' (many pieces don't even have a translation). If any of you ever go to NY, ther's a fry shop called B. Café (used to be B. Frites) which is a Belgian fry shop (and rather succesfull). They also invented a kind of pointed carton bag with an extra small little point at the side, just for the sauce. (There's nothing better then fries soaked in a sauce, but I guess that really is the Belgian way).

We have a sauce for our fries too, it's a tomato preserve, but that's the only one we use.

I'm not ironic enough to be associated with anything remotely hip. Plus I'm old.

Honey mustard sounds interesting, but dipping fries in a chocolate milkshake is just sick and perverted, probably the product of a marijuana-ravaged brain.

I started dipping my fries in my shake at the age of 4 while dining at the Wich Stand on Slauson. I did it just last week at the Farmer Boy in S. Fontana. Don't do ganja now and I certainly wasn't doing it then.
