#2 - Flemish fries
Season 26 - Episode 4 - Aired 12/1/2025
In the Netherlands, many people only call fries "fries" if they're preceded by "Flemish." The freezer and fresh food sections are full of them: often thick slices of potato, sometimes with the skin, sometimes without. But what makes fries "Flemish"?

Winter is just around the corner. Time to bring out the wool. And if you believe the retailers, there’s one type of wool that will truly keep you warm: merino. Exceptionally soft wool, from exceptionally generous sheep. But on quite a few merino garments, there’s an extra label: *mulesing-free*. What does that mean? The **Keuringsdienst** asks a simple question about shear wool and discovers that humans have made life rather difficult for some sheep.

The Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (Keuringsdienst) stood in front of the refrigerated section and couldn't figure it out. There are plastic bags of pre-cut stir-fry vegetables and plastic bags of pre-cut stir-fry vegetables, and almost every country has its own mix – from Asia to Italy, and from Mexico to France. But how do you stir-fry the French way? The Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority searches for woks and returns with a new stove.
