The main problem I see with frying in animal fat is, the already small selection of vegetarian food at most restaurants could be 0, after you also remove fries as an option.

Is this the case in the Netherlands as well? The street vendor cone of frites with satay sauce I had in Amsterdam was one of the best fry experiences I've had.

Are you saying that in Germany you are legally prohibited from selling potatoes fried in animal fat?

Well... actually not, turns out that what I wrote above was just hearsay, I couldn't find any hard evidence to back it up. It doesn't have to be legally prohibited however - Germans also have other regulations, e.g. you can't call your Döner Kebab a Döner Kebab if it contains more then 60% mincemeat (the rest has to be sliced meat).
