In the FF restaurants it can be found somewhere nearby the ketchup. In real restaurants you can ask for it. I do live in the US, and while fries usually don’t come with mayo I can usually find it.

I went to the Netherlands to play some /(soccer|football)/ and I think i was dehydrated for the first week because every time i went to a restaurant to eat they would serve the smallest glasses of water. In America restaurants always serve a glass of tap water with your meal for free which is normally quite large (close to a liter typically) and always refill it immediately. It took some getting used to the European way. I’m an American.

Both in the Netherlands as in Belgium you can get different types of food topped with 'uitjes', ranging from fresh herring to fries.

Eating them with mayonnaise is awesome. I recently went to America and all their chips are stupid thin ones like in McDonald's. *And* they don't know the joys of chips and mayonnaise, just like Pulp Fiction said... :-P They’re called CHIPS!

French fries usually don't come with any topping here, but ketchup is typically available for them.
