Chips with Mayo is indeed a national dish in Belgium. Chips 'n' Gravy is standard student food as is Chips 'n' Curry as far as I've ever known it anyway. The vinegar is essential to enhance the gravy. I must admit that in Scotland, I do like battered Haggis though. Rarely these days can you get chips cooked in beef dripping, but it is truly the only way to have proper British Chips IMO.

EDIT: I almost forgot: I once bought my Dutch girlfriend a jar of Hellman's mayonnaise as a treat to go with her chips. She thought it was crap, and ended up throwing it away. Next trip home, she brought back a couple of bottles of fritessaus
She was right. IMHO
I first came across Hellman's Mayonnaise after a stint in France, so also considered it crap.
Did you know that Hellman's is actually a Yank product?
No wonder I didn't like it, especially once I had got used to the real thing.
Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.
My father's eternal complaint when trying fish and chips down south: "Pah! They're cooked in oil!".
Agreed, had battered Pollock and Chips a few weeks ago. You could instantly tell they'd been cooked in dripping. I am not joking, the meal was memorable!
