What's your favorite french fry/chip/pomme frite/patat topping?

There is only one thing to put on chips.

Salt and vinegar.

I love malt vinegar myself, but it is uncommon to find in US restaurants, except some seafood places. :(

Or you could go South African and put salt, vinegar and chilli powder on them! Mmmmm, flamethrowery. :D

and some ketchup :)
:eek: You dishonour the very tradition of fish 'n' chips!

Sod it... it wasn't that great anyway.

Ketchup for all!

I don't particularly like condiments on my 'tater snacks. However, I am known to heavily season them with salt and pepper.

High blood pressure! YAY!

This thread has been up for 10 minutes and no one has mentioned Bush or Iraq!! A new NS record! ;)

Salt & vinegar is the way I like them.

Mayonaise, sometimes ketchup and always salt.

You just did.

European (yes, this differs from American) mayonaise - just like the Belgians that (probably) invented them ;)
Or satesauce. Or mix it all ;)

Salt is not a topping. Salt is an essential ingredient.

Oh you did NOT just do that!

ARG...you...did...the...god...f***in...can't...DAH!

Yeah, my mayonaise is European too. It's not Belgian though, it's French -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayonaise

But French Fries are Belgian. Flemish even - which is the non-French speaking part. At least, that is what they claim, and I don't see many people disputing it.

You forgot Maccas Choc Sundaes! Nothings' better :D

Oh, I thought you were refering to the mayonaise. The fries themself are from Belgium afaik, like you said. :)

And what, pray tell is a Maccas Choc Sundae?

McDonald's Chocolate Sundae duh :p

You left out the posibility for poutine there: Gravy and cheese.


I'm a vegetarian though so I'm not much for the gravy.

It all depends on the specific fries and what I have access to. If the fries are great and I have access to it: malt vinegar and salt.
If the fries are alright or I don't have access to malt vinegar, salt, ketchup and occasionally mustard.

D'oh...

I didn't think there was anyone else in the world who liked chocolate and ice cream with their fries. Otherwise, I like my fries dipped in spicy BBQ sauce. From the items on the list, I would choose mustard and ketchup mixed together...muschup.

FYI folks....the term "French" fries doesn't come from the country of origin. It's a description of how the potato is cut into long narrow strips. Like French cut green beans.

We are a rare breed...

Poutine is great :D

And I like Mayonnaise... especially the type they put on the Filet o' Fish :D

Fries are differant from chips

Fries are longer and thinger while chips are shorter and chunkier

The mayo on McD's fish sandwiches is called tartar sauce...and they do have a good one. It isn't all sweet and pickle tasting. The Filet o' Fish is the only sandwich I'll eat from McD's. If you have Wendy's where you are, get an order of their fries and a Frosty to dunk them in. mmmmmmmm

I've never tried Poutine, but I can see its potential goodness. If I eat gravy on potatoes, they have to be extra crunchy skillet fried. But, since I watch my fat intake very closely, it's a treat I don't have often.

What you call chips, we call steak fries. It's all good.

This was difficult but I went for ketchup, though I reserve the right to choose the spicy version. Mayo is good with mussels and chips. :)

Australia... the Wendy's we have doesn't have chips :(

A-freakin'-MEN!

Salt ... the only rock we eat. :D

No fries? What do you eat with your hamburgers????

Here in the US, chips are super thin cut potatoes, dosed up with preservatives, fried crunchy and greasy, then packaged in bags. Nasty!! Unless we go to a fish restaurant, where they are like the English pub version of chips. When we eat those, we sprinkle malt vinegar all over them and the fish.

It doesn't have hamburgers either :p

So many variations of poutine too.

No!! Say it isn't so.!! What does your Wendy's serve? Surely this isn't part of the US Wendy's fast food chain. Their trademark is hot and juicy square hamburgers (so they can get more of them on the grill).

True, but I was trying to keep it "to the condiment aisle". Otherwise, it'd go way past 10 choices. (I've never been anywhere w/ Velveeta or other cheese for fries at the table, btw...)

Could some one *please* tell me why London restaurants almost always have individual packets of condiments instead of bottles? I felt bad, opening 11 packets of mayo...

You've never tasted a Wendy's Hamburger?

You poor, poor bastard.

Grey Poupon is great with fries, chips, pretzels...and who knows what else.

It kicks ass on Subway Sandwiches.

You forgot barbeque sauce.

Because they do not get contaminated from being opened, left out unrefrigerated, and having people stick their knives into the bottle.

:confused: I've never been anywhere that actually had BBQ on the table...
(though I am from Connecticut, and to be fair we don't have what Texans would call steakhouses...)

I can understand it if London actually had refrigeration... :D

Thank goodness for Guinness Extra Cold. I thought I'd *never* find a cold beer in that city!

BTW: I've never stuck a knife in a bottle of anything. All you need to do is tap on the "57" in the glass as on a door...

*Looks astonished* I didn't know there were people out there who had never been to a place with BBQ sauce on the table! Come on down to Alabama, hon! :D

You need to come visit here in the south. Almost everybody has their own version of BBQ sauce. Every other restaurant is a rib shack or BBQ joint. We don't put BBQ sauce on steak, though. That's what steak sauces and worchester sauce is for. For THE BEST BBQ sauce in the world:

I slobber all over myself thinking about it.

I think he's afraid of the Mason-Dixon.

I agree. I forgot about Subway Sandwiches.

I think he's afraid of the Mason-Dixon.

Nah. I lived for 3 years in Virginia after college, but me and a friend (from Alabama!) used to debate if DC was a Northern or Southern city whilst in cube-land.

Oh you did NOT just do that!

ARG...you...did...the...god...f***in...can't...DAH!

Well that was messy. Bolol topping! :D
