A mitraillette (French pronunciation: [mitʁajɛt], literally "submachine gun") is a type of sandwich in Belgium commonly served at friteries and cafés.[3][4][5][6][7] It is popular among students.[8]
It is thought to have originated in Brussels, but is also popular in Flanders, Wallonia, and the Nord region of France, where it is also known as an "Américain" (literally an "American").[1][9]
