Mayo is for weirdos.

Well I have chips with ketchup but called a weirdo regardless

The Canadian poutine fries is also pretty good imho

Agreed.

Then winning in 2024 in the 3rd fastest car was incredible. His WDCs from 2022-2024 were also won in the regulation cycle with the most competitive and tightest F1 field ever, with the most talent ever, and testing and budget restrictions that hurt and handicapped the the top team the most. No other driver on the grid could have done that.
It was beyond easy to win in F1 when you have a car with 80-100 more hp than everyone else in the field like MB did. There was so little skill involved Rosberg won a WDC. Nothing at all even noteworthy about MB or its lackluster drivers. You could pick and two of us from this forum or random people on the street and they would have replicated what MB did from 2014-2021 - we all would have lost to Verstappen in a slower RB though.

If 2024 is any indication, Max peak is past him and it wasn’t that impressive to be honest.

LOL lay off the crystal meth man. Winning for the second year in a slower car is nothing short of world class. You just be talking about Ham on the latter because his best days are definitely behind him based on going nearly 3 years without a win in one of the best car in F1 LOL and still only won due to major screw ups in the “wins”. No merit wins in over 3 years is laughable and utterly and majorly pathetic.
Max isn’t at his peak at all - the fact that you’d even suggest that for a guy who just turned 27 shows you’re out of touch with reality esp if you don’t think Sham is well past his prime but got OWNED by Max in 2021 with the most dominant car ever at his peak. Some peak of he got best by Max far from his best. MB had the most dominant car in history during a time when F1 was a joke with no competition at all - no WDC during that time was legit because winning with that car was so easy and random driver would win.
Ham literally has done nothing in his career that would be noteworthy yet Max holds records ham could only dream of and still wouldn’t touch in a dream. He is literally one of the weakest drivers ever to race in F1. Most people are realizing this now too. Most people who see new and old to F1 when I talk to them realize he isn’t that good and lacks the natural speed and talent of a guy like Max who transcends because what he’s done at such a young age was not something ham could have done nor did he.

Here it's mayo (for USA people, european mayonaise and especially dutch/belgian mayonaise tastes different), or Mayo and sateh sause (peanut sause), called 'fries war', or mayo and curry ketchup and diced onions (like you get on german curryworst), called fries 'special', and there's also 'joppiesauce', which is I guess somewhat the equivalent of your yellow curry sauce you can get with your delicious fish, chips and mushy peas

Belgium really s@cks , but nothing can beat our fries and beers.

Belgium only s@cks on a government level (what government?) and the eternal distrust between the two population groups.
All the rest, yes beer, food but also art, music, chocolade etc etc is superb

You must have heard of the saying 'you are what you eat' so with that said I don't tend to follow the typical brit diet of fish and chips on Fridays and suggested others with curries being currently favourite, nothing wrong with that but one thing important to me is that my wife's cooking beats them all.
Tell me what's a favourite dish in Holland, I've heard pickled herring ''sledz'' is a delicacy with you like it is in Poland..

Yes pickled herring (we call it rollmops like in germany) exists in the netherlands, like in Poland, Russia, baltic states etc.
But not really that popular, not like salted herring (Soused herring) which is really popular and typical dutch. Dutch salted herring is also pretty popular in Germany (they call it 'matjes'). Gouda cheese and salted herring. That is pretty much the Netherlands

You forgot about triple salted licorice! That stuff is so good. But don’t eat too much else your head will look like a balloon. 🎈
