Mayonnaise on French Fries??

[huskeynut]

No, but mayo and ketchup mixed together is fantastic.

And you can now purchase it - Mayochup by Hienz. It's pretty good.

 

[storrsroars]

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

Will have to try. Never thought of adding Kewpie to repertoire

Mayo on nothing ever.

You’re Italian, right? No problem there. Respect.

I believe in letting people choose their own condiments without judgement. Except for the guy who said tartar sauce. That guy is a freak.

Its just mayo and relish.... mostly mayo. Also it apparently fits the definition of aioli based on other posts.

So why single out tarter sauce? Its the condiment of choice for fish sticks. Does anyone disagree with the usage of tarter sauce on fish sticks? Probably very few. Furthermore a fish stick is basically a french fry where the potato is substituted with fish.

So in summary everyone agrees with the usage of tarter sauce on french fries assuming the potato is in fact fishy.

C'mon man, it's a Belgium / French thing. We're Americans, even if off the boat

Just remember, those salt of the earth, fully assimilated Americans also created this:

Altoona Hotel Pizza: The slice with yellow cheese from Central Pa. you’ve never heard of

Pennsylvania is home to a lot of obscure and unique styles of pizza. Philadelphia has tomato pie, Northeastern Pa. has Old Forge Pizza, and Beaver County has Ohio Valley Pizza. Now, meet one of the most obscure pizza styles ever documented: Altoona Hotel Pizza.

One has to like sweet pickles to agree with you. I love all sorts of pickles, but sweet and bread & b, utter pickles do not pass these lips. This is why, while I love the concept of a Chicago dog and even bought sport peppers to make them at home, I cannot have an authentic one as the flourescent green relish has got to go.

What do you put on fish sticks? I dont think there's a rule that prevents you from making tarter sauce with another type of pickle relish

Nope. Agreed. I kill dill, full sour, half sour etc…. Bread and butter? Worst thing on earth. It’s like someone actually said “ how can I really screw up a cucumber”

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.

You forgot to mention the Pittsburgh Salad

I haven't eaten fish sticks since junior high. One of the many never-mentioned benefits of not having had kids.

What grade are you in now?

Edit: just being cheeky. Dont eat them much myself, but i in fact love fish sticks

Try Tzatziki instead of tartar sauce with any lightly breaded fish and thank me later

Or some light sour cream with lemon and dill

I’ve avoided it with daughters 20 years apart in age. It ain’t hard.

Some parts of the US and some other parts of the world, mayonnaise is the default condiment for fries.

For the life of me, it makes no sense, but I know it's a real thing.

Somebody just watched Pulp Fiction.

 

[JMick]

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.

I mean they taste totally different. I'll die on this hill. Other people basta**izing it doesn't change what it is. If everyone started calling tater tots French fries I wouldn't suddenly agree with them.

I don't know what you're talking about with those salt of the earth or hotel pizza strawmen, totally irrelevant to my argument, which is "we put ketchup on french fries"

 

[temery]

Cheese Kurds and mushroom gravy.

Plan B: Ribeye. The steak goes over the fries and the fries absorb some of the juice.

Your kind is why Raising Cain's is actually a thing.

Nah. Never watched that movie. Figure at this point, what's the point?

I'm overseas for work and at every restaurant, mayo is the default condiment for fries. Odd thing is they do their fries so good over here, all you really need is a light spinkling of sea salt and they're perfect.

I get your point, and yes, an emulsified mixture of olive oil, garlic and some lemon will taste different than seasoned mayo. But, when you go out to a restaurant or a bar, you're almost assuredly not getting "real" aoli.

I absolutely crush homemade tzatziki and it is great on crab cakes.

All excellent, but this is cheating.

 

[Scoe]

I can’t dip my fries into anything, once I start eating them I don’t stop. I have to eat my fries before I eat anything else. Nothing tops Cajun fries btw.

It's great on so much stuff. I love marinating chicken with it.
