Mayonnaise on French Fries??

[VanDunk]

I live in the UK. Vinegar on chips is only really done at the chippy. If you’re at a good one I wouldn’t risk it. Here in Sheffield we have a few proper chippies that still use dripping (beef fat) and I wouldn’t pour malt vinegar on them ever. In Belgium it’s a different scene and those frites are three times fried, harder and I think vinegar would just bounce off them. So mayonnaise really works. I would also think the super spicy West Flanders mustard would work too- but that’s the American palate in me still.

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.

The Chicago dog works because of the hot and the sweet.

I’ll do honey mustard. Never mayo

 

[Pawsox]

Frank's RedHot is the answer. I put that sh@t on everything.

 

[Vowelguy]

Hell no.

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

I was miserable eating fish sticks as a kid but I murder my kids’ leftovers these days. Not sure what happened.

I should also admit that I didn’t try ketchup until I was in my mid 30’s. Never liked the look of it.

Pot munchies?

I haven't looked at a fish stick box in 50 years or so, but I'd think I can sautee a couple of trout fillets in a wine/butter/shallot sauce faster than a frozen fish stick cooks.

It works well for me w/o the green stuff. The texture of the pickle and snap of the sport peppers gives me what I want from the thing.

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

I don't even know what that means, but you do

Oh the irony

Dinner was great tonight!

 

[mussels]

Funny, I don‘t remember ever seeing this mayo/fries thing before, so go out tonight to a simple neighborhood place, and this is whats on the menu.

 

[krinklecut]

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

It’s so much better. We don’t buy American mayo anymore (I didn’t use it at all anyway).

 

[slepers]

Are we getting McNeeley?

Someone needs to read up on irony.

It's not something I've ever done in the US, but the best food I had in Amsterdam was a cone thing of fries with truffle mayo for like $5 from this place Pont Neuf Buiksloterweg · Buiksloterweg 5B, 1031 CC Amsterdam, Netherlands

Mayo on nothing ever.

incorrect

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…

Nothing called gravy belongs anywhere near a good french fry.

 

[87Xfer]

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.

No civilized person, given a hundred dipping sauces (or even three - ketchup, two day old dog water or tartar sauce), dips a good french fry in tartar sauce

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.

Disgusting. I couldn’t be in the same room with someone eating that combination.

I don't know why some places serve crappy fries, even some fancy restaurants do. I will say Chicago's fry game has always been on point, even the burger and dog stands make great fries. #1 Idaho potatoes cut, blanched and double fried to order.

Dinner was great onight!

That looks like "Cup of Lanced Cyst"
