Causa rellena

This traditional Peruvian delicacy is made with yellow potatoes and either tuna salad or chicken. Most often, the potatoes are molded or cut into circles, and the filling is sandwiched in between. The dish is flavored with mayonnaise, ají amarillo chilis, and lime or lemon juice. Causa rellena is typically served cold on a bed of lettuce, while the top is garnished with black olives, making it a perfect appetizer or a light meal on its own. It is believed that the dish was invented during the Pacific War. Food was scarce, and the Peruvian women started collecting potatoes and any other ingredients they could get their hands on. The women created causa rellena, then offered it to soldiers for the cause of defending their homes, hence the name of the dish.

Moules-frites

4.2 ·

Moules-frites is a traditional comfort food item consisting of mussels paired with Belgian fries on the side. The dish is commonly found in Belgium, the Netherlands, and northern France. The condiment of choice accompanying the dish is mayonnaise, providing an additional note of richness. Mussels are a Belgian staple - cheap and abundant, they were originally considered a poor man's meal, and have been paired with fried potatoes for a long time at the country's famous friteries (fry shops). It is believed that the dish is originally from Belgium, because Belgians were the first to pair the mussels with fries, commonly eaten throughout the country in wintertime, when no fish was available. Today, the dish is found in most restaurants where it is often shared amongst groups of consumers.

Churrasco Italiano

Churrasco Italiano is a mouth-watering Chilean sandwich made with thin slices of grilled steak, mayonnaise, tomatoes, and palta – a local name for avocados - all tucked into fresh bread rolls. But why is this sandwich dubbed Italiano? It's because each addition represents a color of the Italian flag: palta for green, mayo for white, and tomatoes for red. Consuming this sandwich might prove to be quite sloppy, so serve it with lots of napkins.

Sauce tartare

3.9 ·

Sauce tartare is a mayonnaise-based sauce that most likely originated in France. The creamy base is traditionally made with mayonnaise, though some variations occasionally may opt for crème fraiche, while the optional additions usually include spices and mostly chopped parsley, chervil, tarragon, capers, and pickles. Optionally, boiled egg yolks can also be added. Although the sauce was named after Tatars—the Turkic-speaking ethnic group from Central Asia—it is not related to the region or the people. The name probably appeared as a reference to the coarse texture of the sauce—since the Tatars were known for their barbarian behavior. The sauce was also initially served as an accompaniment to steak tartare, which is made with finely chopped raw beef or horse meat, and the dish probably influenced the origin of the name. Sauce tartare is usually served with fried fish or seafood, meat, and other types of fried dishes.

Patatje oorlog

3.9 ·

Patatje oorlog is a Dutch street food dish consisting of fries topped with a variety of condiments, including mayonnaise, finely chopped onions, and peanut-based satay-style sauce flavored with olek sambal, soy sauce, and chili. The dish is typically served in a paper cone and the fries are eaten by using your fingers. Since patatje oorlog is a drinking dish, it is recommended to pair it with a cold beer on the side. The name of the dish means war fries or war chips, most probably referring to the fact that eating patatje oorlog is a messy affair, looking similar to a battlefield where chips, onions, and sauces are all over the place.
