[ColchVEGAS]

Mayo on nothing ever.

There's nothing to settle. Aioli isn't made with mayo. People might call it aioli if it's made with mayo, but that doesn't make it true. There's not supposed to be any egg in aioli.

Doesn't mayo already have vinegar in it?

Yeah. Most commercial ones do. But that malt vinegar is special. People talk junk on the food in the u.k. but that's not the case anymore. I just came back from a 10 day trip and the food scene is Incredible.

You’re an aioli purist. From wiki- “Purists believe aioli should not include egg, but nowadays, egg or egg yolk is the usual emulsifier. Since about 1990, it has become common in the United States to call all flavored mayonnaises aioli.”

I’ve never had an aioli without egg yolk/mayo. I’d like to try it one day.

And then there’s gravy

Cheese fries and gravy. A great 2am snack at Penny’s Diner after drinking all night in Sono. When I was much younger that is…

A great fry requires no sauce

My economics professor in college who was French introduced me to fries with mayo. Been addicted since.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

If it lands us the French kid I'm all for it.

Otherwise, mayo sucks.

Yeah, it's a distinction without a difference. Almost everything labeled aoli at restaurants and bars has egg and I'd wager quite a few of them use a cheaper oil than any type of olive oil.

Poutine is damn good when real cheese curds are used.

I've never even accidentally mixed the two, and there have been hundreds of opportunities. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . now I'll have to.

I was at Max Downtown yesterday for happy hour and a guy next to me asked for a full tub of mayonnaise to dollop on his oysters.

I figured it was one of you sickos on here, but I didn’t say anything because I’m afraid of conversation with grown men who wear sandals in April.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Specifically Kewpie. Not normal American mayonnaise. Kewpie on fries is elite.

Kewpie generally craps on regular mayo.

This is one of many issues about which I am a pedantic a s s but every time my wife says she made an aioli I remind her that technically she just mixed some crap with mayo. I’m sure she loves hearing it.

Some Frank's red hot or Tabasco sauce sprinkled on fries is nice, then dunk them in ketchup. I like the ketchup/Mayo mix too, starred doing that in Colombia. I also put chili and/or melted cheese on fries. BBQ sauce works well too. Fries are versatile as the Belgians have REPEATEDLY shown. They do well in gyros or even pair as a side to pizza. Lots of countries have their own sauces that go well with fries, I even tried chimichuri with fries.

A great fry requires no sauce

Sprinkle it with some ground paprika and hell ya. I mean, tons of different spices and herbs can be sprinkled on prior to cooking, I've done curried fries even. Let's not forget sweet potato fries too.

It's garlic and olive oil is it not??

I'll be disappointed if this doesn't hit at least 50 pages. Do your thing BY.

Mayo is a vile substance and should be banned.

I’d only eat it if landing the French kid was riding on it. And then I’d expect free season tickets for life hahaha.

I'm a vinegar guy. Picked it up from my upstate NY folks.

I will occasionally do this using malt vinegar, particularly with fish and chips. Picked it up in the UK.

Mayonnaise is just wrong. Not ranch dressing on pizza wrong, but still wrong.

 

[CL82]

I was going to say that honey mustard is the worst condiment on Earth, but then someone mentioned tartar sauce on fries and I just vomited in my mouth.

Which is pretty much the same as eating tartar sauce on fries so…
