What do you like on your fries?
« on: June 06, 2008, 09:38:25 pm »


This is a cross-over topic from another thread where the concept of garlic fries seemed surprising to some of us.  So... here's another fun food poll.  What would be your choice in the condiment aisle with your fries in mind?

Never tried them with garlic, but it sounds good!   ;D

Yeah, I'd like to try garlic fries -- sounds pretty good.

On my fries, I like:

ketchup and bar-b-que sauce for dipping
chili and cheese for topping

My Dutch Grandpa taught me to dip my fries in mayonnaise. But when he made his own fries, they were more like deep fried potato wedges, not the long stringy things we see at Mc Donalds and Wendy's. . He called them "patats". I hope I spelled that correctly.

But generally I just put ketchup and salt... lots and lots and LOTS of salt on my fries. :)

Mayonnaise, but it has to be garlic, and home made. I always make my own mayo, because it's easy and I can flavour it however I want. Failing that just plain salt.

I voted "other".

I like fries in too many combinations to just narrow it down to 3 choices.  ;D

Another interesting question related to dips and toppings for fries... is how you like them to be cut?  I like really thin fries with crispy exteriors (so I picked beer battered as one of the ways I like fries to be served).  I also like waffle cut fries.  The one kind of fry that I really can't stand are really think cut fries... I don't like it when the center of the fry is too mealy... which often seems to be the case with really thick fries.

Hey Souxi!

What is HP and a butty? Unfortunately my English boyfriend is in England right now, and he's not here to translate for me! ;) :laugh:
