I was enjoying some fries with a side of ketchup, yellow mustard and mayonaise and I got to thinking about how some people make icky faces at mayonaise on fries... but it's really quite delicious.

What are your favourite french fry (or chip... for those of you accross the Atlantic) toppings?

Shit. I meant to make it an multiple option poll.

Mixture of ketchup and mayo.

Edit: discovered it while vacationing in France at a MacDonald's somewhere between Paris and Brussels. Found it tasty.

Curry.

Or Chilli and Cheese.

When I worked at this Mexican restaurant chain (owned by an Italian family from New Orleans--odd, I know). we used to make junk fries. Spicy fries with ground beef, queso, sour cream, and green onions thrown on top of them. Damn, I want some right now.

my school offers "Mexican" fries
they give you fries that are dry and burnt
and top it with "ground beef" that tastes like some strange kind of rubber-like substance
tomatoes, sour cream and processed industrial grade "Nacho/Melted Cheese"

it look like vomit

very appetizing :rolleyes:

Salt and Vinegar is the natural order of things, if gravy and cheese curds cannot apply.


Mayo's alright, but not my thing.

Ketchup is far too Plebian.

You can't beat Cheese and Kechup.

Although I can't honestly remember the last time I had fries. :)

CHOCOLATE OR CURRY!!!!:p

Curry.

Or Chilli and Cheese.

I'm completely with you on the chili and cheese.

Curry and BBQ sauce and ketchup are good as well.

HP Sauce; and sometimes chilli sauce. And I recently discovered melted stilton is quite nice too.

Either ketchup, or melted cheddar/cheez wiz.

I'm completely with you on the chili and cheese.

Curry and BBQ sauce and ketchup are good as well.

CURRY?!

I'm Indian, why do I find that absolutely revolting?

Does In-n-Out still do their animal style fries with pickles, cheese, onions, and their secret sauce? If so, that's still my favorite way to have fries.
They need In-n-Out in Ohio >.>

Chilli fries are the Taste.

Gravy and salt, or tomato sauce if no gravy. Need the salt (even if it kills me) :p

Ever try peanut butter vindalu? :p MMMMM......MMMMMM.....

EDIT: I have.

My fries will have either:

A. Ketchup. JUST ketchup.
B. BBQ sauce. JUST BBQ sauce.
C. Chilli/Chilli and a little bit of cheese. JUST the chilli and cheese
D. Gravy. JUST gravy

All of these are good with fries, but none of them can be mixed because that's just really gross.

CURRY?!

I'm Indian, why do I find that absolutely revolting?

same i guess if you eat indian food like every day you start to dislike

probably the same with all food

Curry on chips? INSULT! AN INSULT I SAY!

Mine is HP sauce (lol OUTSAUCED to the netherlands huhu get it) and Daddies ketchup, I don't really like Heinz. No, in fact, I hate Heinz.

Ever try peanut butter vindalu? :p MMMMM......MMMMMM.....

EDIT: I have.

I just vomitted a little in my mouth. I'm beginning to think unleashing the wonder and majesty of Indian cuisine on the western world may have been a bad idea. :p

CURRY?!

I'm Indian, why do I find that absolutely revolting?

It's a standard where I come from.... curry or sweet-and-sour. Welcome to England's cosmopolitan midlands. :)

Other local specialities would be blue cheese sauce or garlic mayo.

same i guess if you eat indian food like every day you start to dislike

probably the same with all food

No, I like Indian food (to an extent) but...honestly. Curry on fries? Vindaloo on fries?! No, no way in hell.

Lister?

Think more along the lines of a fine grained korma...

Poutine is awesome

Hmm...ok, I can see that.

Hmm...korma. Hmm...Indian food. God damnit. It's too late to go out for food.

ummmm...no.....

I used to have the hots for a girl that acted like him though....:(

Hmm...ok, I can see that.

At least you could get it if you wanted it. Here in north-east Georgia you are just SOL if you fancy a curry.

*sadface* Not had a curry in half a decade. (Okay, I lie... I had a Chinese curry, but it's hardly the same).

for me it's bread and sholay or gobi EVERY DAY i liked sholay before but now....ugh i can't eat it any more and i've always hated gobi

Poutine is awesome

Indeed. It is.

Quebec's finest cultural contribution.

Ouch. No South Indian food in your area? Uthapams, idli, etc.?

chili, thats the best. American I must say though... I like that hardy chili that you need a fork to eat the fries with... mm... making me hungry.

This is why I love New Jersey. Walking distance from 20 Indians restaurants of varying cuisine and quality.

not where i live, closest thing i have to an Indian restaurant is the Gurudwara where i can have some Daal instead

cheese and gravy
ketchup

Damn. I don't know what I'd do without access to Punjabi and South Indian food. Gujarati food gets old after a while.

I like pizza fries. And I've never had poutine, but I'm sure I'd love it. But since it's readily available, and delicious anyways, ketchup.

*sigh* Reminds me of Leicester. I really have to rejoin civilization at some point...

Damn. I don't know what I'd do without access to Punjabi and South Indian food. Gujarati food gets old after a while.

yea i mean i'd love something new like Butter Chicken or Malai Kofta or....*mouth starts watering*...anyone got a towel or napkin

Anything besides salt on fries is gross.

*sigh* Reminds me of Leicester. I really have to rejoin civilization at some point...

That you certainly do, heh. Any place that doesn't have a healthy supply of Indian restaurants is not a place I want to live.

Kind of like the pitiful number of decent Indian restaurants in Philadelphia. Cafe Spice, overpriced and low quality, Sitar, low quality, New Dehli, decent at best, though the round-the-clock buffet helps.

I'm a traditionalist, so I generally prefer 2 or 3 times the daily allowance of salt and a bucket of grease coating fries that have been burnt to a crisp.
But if I must add "toppings", a bit of everything on hand (and I mean everything, as in vinegar, tomato sauce, chopped onions, peanuts, chopped chili peppers, cheese and hot sauce) never fails to impress.

cheese and garlic mayonnsaise a la kebab shop is the only way imnsho. :)

I'm partial to Saag (Palak) Paneer myself.

Cheesy chips aka Student fuel. Only improved upon if layered with donner meat and smothered in mango chutney.

*salivates*

I've never tried garlic mayo, never heard of it til now, but it sounds delicious. I've had cranberry mayo before, and it was strange, though.

Ketchup with tobasco sauce mixed in to it.

Ooh, forgot the Leicester student favourite, chips and donner meat...

Ketchup. Pretty much the only thing I can stomach on fries. McDonalds or Burger King I can go plain, but I really, really like ketchup on my fries.

I've had tobasco on pizza, so it's fairly strange that I've never tried it with fries.

You've got to. Tobasco ketchup will rock your world.

Mango chutney? I'd recommend trying garlic chutney, if you want a kick. In the arse. That will send you to the moon. We Indians are known for our spices, after all.

You evil Bertish and your strange toppings...

Nah, chips n curry... try it, it's your new favourite.

You evil Bertish and your strange toppings...

Aye, and I keep getting confused when I hear them referring to them as chips.

Frosty from Wendy'sSo I'm not the only one.


Mayonnaise on thin fries (but not that crap they call Salad Dressing), best served in a newspaper cone on the beach.

Catsup, mixed 50/50 with A1 sauce. Best with thick (steak) fries.

Aye, and I keep getting confused when I hear them referring to them as chips.

Think how confusing it is for us! We call them chips... because we 'chip' the taters. Then we come to the US and you call 'em fries, no matter how they are cooked...

you my friend, should have your stomach examined :p
You only get to be young and indestructible once, why waste it eating normal things when you can enjoy the looks of horror and revulsion on the faces of friends and relatives?

Nah, chips n curry... try it, it's your new favourite.

I'll reserve judgement. Though now that I think about it, I wonder how fries and sweet chutney taste. Are you British or a British Indian, just out of curiosity?

That's been my policy at the dinner table with my family. If I can gross them out by mixing indian food with something mundane, I don't care what it's doing to my stomach.

I'm a sugar fiend, and the mango chutney in our kebab houses probably contains very little mango. It's this super-sweet, highly fluid, luminous orange liquid that seeps through the cheesy mass and super donner meat to enrich everything with its radioactive goodness. I have, on occasion, bought it as a drink instead of a coke or lassi.

@GnI - I discovered my version myself, much to the confusion of the Mancunian kebab shop bloke. Took me a full 3 minutes of drunkenly slurring it to him before the penny dropped, although that was probably the fault of the slurring :p

You need to watch what you eat and drink, my friend.

Especially drink.

Mustard, and only mustard. If I can't have mustard, I'll eat them plain. With as little salt as possible.

Ketchup ranch Cheese and Gravy all acceptable (not at same time)

Super-sweet, highly fluid, luminous orange liquid? That IS mango chutney, regardless of the actual mango content. I've found that there are many people who claim to have unparalleled sweet teeth until they come across Indian desserts.

I once offered a cup of sambar to a friend of mine as a drink (it was packaged in a styrofoam cup, the local South Indian place being a bunch of cheapasses.) and watched the fun as he took a swill and spent the next minute and a half bent under the faucet.

I'll reserve judgement. Though now that I think about it, I wonder how fries and sweet chutney taste. Are you British or a British Indian, just out of curiosity?

I'm a big British viking. The UK is generally quite cosmopolitan, and Leicester is pretty international, even by our standards. :)

So I'm not the only one.

Nope. One of the best food mixes ever.

Oh, and they're pretty bangin with Wendy's honey mustard sauce too.

Ha! You evil sod! :D

I live just next to a section of Manchester called the Curry Mile, a fairly obvious description of the road's many restaurants. There's a shop along there which sells desserts and the like and, quite frankly, some of them just scare me by sight alone. Awesome as they might be, I'm afraid of developing type II diabetes if I stare directly at them :eek:

Chips and curry sauce is fairly ubiquitous throughout England, although real people (i.e. Northerners) have gravy on their chips. Apparently this wonderful phenomenon doesn't venture further south than the Midlands, which may explain why the North is betterer :p

Chip shop curry sauce is probably closer to Chinese chicken curry sauce than any Indian style dish I can think of. Saying that, I'm told that most English style curries are really heavily westernised. To answer a question that was neither asked of me or necessarily asked at all.

Interesting. Yeah, I've been trying to get my friends heavily into Indian food, with marginal success. As wonderful and addictive as it is, Americans seem harder to convert than you Brits.

chutney with rice isn't bad i tried it once

i really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really want chips right now. i blame this thread. chips with salt and vinegar or garlic mayonnaise right now, as in now in my hands witha wooden fork. please.... :) now. soon. immediately. immanently? dammit! NOW!
*shakes fist at all chips withholders*

Marinara sauce usually, maybe a honey BBQ, or occasionally vinilla iceing or chocolate ice cream.

Ketchup is disgusting, also. Satansauce. Definatly.

That's actually pretty cool. The larger level of integration of Indian culture into Britain has me wanting to try and get a job at a British uni once I've done my doctorate and possibly built up a bit of a reputation.

And yes, those sweets will KILL you. But you'll die happy. Gulab Jamun is about as close to nirvana as it gets without dying.

chutney with rice isn't bad i tried it once

Hmm. I'm generally not a fan of rice (My sister will have rice alone. We call her The Madrassi at the dinner table.) but I've tried chutney on a few non-Indian things before. Are you Indian, out of curiosity? That would make like 6 people I know on here who are Indian, including myself.

Mayo pour moi.

Ranch is my main dipping sauce.

I also dip them in mustard, honey-mustard,cheese, jalepeno juice,BBQ, and the juices that come out of my steak.

I'm allergic to ketchup (I think more psychologically than physically..bad packet in elementary school) so none of that for me.:(

None of that Canuckian crap.

Just. No.

Depends entirely on the fries.

I find my favourite topping to be coleslaw.

Coleslaw on fries, what could be better?

one of my favorites has been curry ketchup which I first had in Belgium

Cayenne, steak seasonings, and sour cream.

ketchup or plain.

Pommes Spezial (fries with ketchup, Mayo and fresh Onion) is tasty!

honey mustard ftw

Depends entirely on the fries.

Ditto to this.

Thick steak fries call for vinegar. Thin crispy fries are better with salt, catsup or mustard. Not a fan of the mayo, but I can see how people might like it. I've been known to put a bit of mayo on stale bread.

No Myrth option?

Myrth tastes great on fries. Sweet, tangy, and with a hint of Oregano.

In order:

Ketchup
Malt Vinegar
Sweet and Sour Sauce'
Barbecue Sauce
Horseradish

It's all good

Either salt and ketchup or seasoning salt and malt vinegar or, most adored of all (but only as a meal unto itself) poutine.

If you mix BBQ with mayo, 50/50, then it makes a GREAT fry dip... you can use it with any type of steak or chicken too. It's really better for the larger fries, the tiny little fast food fries I go with mayo or melted cheese. yummerz.

Dunk those chips in a big bowl of this stuff:

http://www.aussiefavourites.com.au/cornershop/images/hnz_bigred600.jpg

I mix ketchup with tabasco (a non-chunky hot sauce). That tastes good.

nacho cheese and meat is good

don't much care for fried anything all that much though

spuds baked or salid or in a pasti with meat

dipped in sweat and sour or housien sauce is ok too.

=^^=
.../\...

In the extraordinarily rare occasion that I eat fries (I don't do fast food, and I don't fry when I cook), I generally prefer ketchup, but any sauce that might be with the meal will usually do. Cheese fries are awesome. Honey mustard? Hell yes. Got some fries with your barbecue? Slather it on.

Maybe my palette is just too Americanized, but the only time I would have mayo on fries is if I were having them with a burger or sandwich, and some mayo dripped off onto the fries. It isn't disgusting, but not really to my taste. Tomato-based sauces work best for me.

Um...eww?

But of course, this is coming from the kid who likes to dip his McDonald's fries in a milkshake.

Yeah, Canada isn't exactly the place you wanna go for authentic Mexican food...
I've never heard of a Mexican food join before. There is a Chinese Restaurant between every Timmy Horton's, however. *is gonna miss Chinese food in Alberta*

I really, really depends. I have a huge array of condiments that I could use on chips. Varying from ketchup, to mayo, to various vinegars (balsamic vineger is nice [if it hasn't been yuppified to death for you]), to lime pickle, to thai sweet chilli sauce and others.

The one thing that must always be had with chips though, is salt. Without salt chips suck to high hell.

lets not forget "fries" and chips seem to be very different things...


fries:

chips:
http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:VUzo_f709S21aM:http://bikesandbeef.co.uk/ridepics/morebeersthangears/chips.jpg


on the former i'll have just ketchup, on the latter ketchup and vinegar. and salt on both, of course.

The one thing that must always be had with chips though, is salt. Without salt chips suck to high hell.

This is True.

Ideally with vinegar, too, but there are loads of good things to have on chips. Salt and Vinegar is king, though.

just plain old vinegar if they are a good chip form some where like Becketts

Usually just tomato sauce. But, if theres a chance of mayo and tomato sauce I definitely take it.

What the...why is there no "none"!?

Cocktail (I make a good approximation of it by mixing mayonnaise, spicy ketchup, tabasco and worchestershire).

Or a mix of mayonnaise and mustard, possibily with horseradish.

Tomato sauce with minced garlic and chili peppers.

Garlic sauce.

Bearnaise.

I forgot! Zaziki!

Vinegar? Yuck! I will stick with Ketchup or chili cheese.

Jesus.

Why not? Eating is pleasure, after all.

Mostly:
Cocktail for occasions like New Year's Eve.
Mayo+mustard in autumn.
Garlic sauce or zaziki in summer.
Tomato sauce in springtime.
Bearnaise in winter.

Turkey Gravy and black pepper.

Salsa Mahonesa, definitely.
Ketchup be banned.

It has to be chips, cheese and coleslaw. served with Irn Bru

super yummy.

The ketchup/mayo combo when eating greasy spoon fries.

When I eat belgian fries, I like different things at different times. Mayonnaise with provencal herbs is good in the summer, but then again so is lime juice. Once I had them with a mexican tomato sauce that felt like it was burning my palate off...very addictive. I tend to shy away from the vinegary condiments, like relish.

Poutine, however, is disgusting.

Tomato sauce or none.

Very well.

Weird. The only two times I hear people talking about cheese AND gravy on chips and it's on two consecutive days. Is it a French Canadian thing?

Salt and Vinegar. Inseparable.

And mushy peas. Maybe even with mint sauce. Mayonnaise is really good, but it doesn't go too well with mushy peas, and peas win.

mustard likewise.

Salt and Vinegar. Inseparable.


too right.

and no vinegar on the fish!

too right.

What are you mad! Of course vinger on the fish!:eek:

Mmmmmmmmmm. and salt as well.

That sounds really good. Sounds like nachos with fries instead.


I like ketchup on fries usually. I also like brown gravy or mozzarella-or both.

I dont eat fries very often,but enjoy them when I do with any of the above.

You really should have made it multiple choice.

Usually salt and vinegar right on the fries, with ketchup on the side as an option.

I absolutely love poutine, but rarely get a chance to buy it. I also love whatever it is that the French kebab places call "sauce blanche". It tastes quite a bit like ranch dressing.

GRAVY!

:D:D:D:D:D

Thai sweet chilli sauce is nice too.

Strong bleu cheese dressing goes pretty good with fries as well...now that I think about it.

Chips and Curry sauce.

Although in Britain, one of our traditional dish's is a Curry so we have more Indian restaurants than McDonalds. Maybe that’s why we are not fat like our colonial children across the pond.

Vinegar and salt!! *does the happy vinegar dance*

Yay for the curry mile! :D (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry_mile)

Although apparently Leicester recently overtook Manchester for concentration of curry houses :(

What the...why is there no "none"!?

That would be my choice either. Of course, I assume salt is added by default.

If you absolutely must add something, add... a hamburger? Yes, fries are best eaten with a hamburger (as in meat, no revolting toppings there either).

I love mayo on my fries. I know it adds 5 million calories to them, but what the hell. I eat fries maybe six times a year. They are too greasy for me.

If I'm eating fish and chips I like shrimp sauce on them.

Garlic Mayo, first last and always.

Heinz Ketchup. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhh......

Gravy is also yummy, so even though I've never tried it I'm positive I would love Poutine. Probably a good thing I live so very far away from it...

Oh, and I'm surprised at the number of Americans who go for vinegar. I thought that was an exclusively British tastebud blight.

Poutine...a heart attack in a meal. Yum.

As for vinegar in the U.S., I think it's mainly an east coast/ New England thing. You don't find many people (on the west coast at least) who do like it. You do get weird looks from waitstaff when you ask for a bottle of malted when they bring you your fries.

Everyone eats malted vinegar with their fries in Oregon. I'm pretty certain I'm the only person in the entire state that eats mayo on their fries.

I don't have much room to comment over here with my mayonaise fries.

Ranch dressing. There, I said it. Ranch dressing on fries. And really, on lots of things. Except house salads.

Chili and cheese is also good. As long as it's good chili and decent cheese.

Salt and vinegar is all right if you're in the mood for it.

I'd like to invent a time machine and go back and pre-emptively murder whoever invented ketchup. That or just erase their brain and convince them to invent jet packs.

Ha, liek I need to be jealous of compressed, liquefied, tomato-based gloppy sawdust that appears on every restaurant table in the country. Anyone can claim to like ketchup. It's more sophisticated to enjoy a different condiment, like, say, bacon.

mayo and/or ketchup are quite standard here (with small pieces of onion if you use them both). i prefer mayo, and tartar-sauce is quite good too

If compressed, liquefied, tomato-based gloppy sawdust tastes like ketchup, I don't see the problem with it.

On the occasions when I find myself dining on fast food fries, I find that the "side salad" makes an excellent topping. Particularly with the ranch, IMO, but other dressings work to blend together lettuce and deep-fried potato.

But of course, this is coming from the kid who likes to dip his McDonald's fries in a milkshake.

My wife does that. Or we have to stop at DQ on the way back from McD's to get her ice cream to dip in...

Yay for the curry mile! :D (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry_mile)

Although apparently Leicester recently overtook Manchester for concentration of curry houses :(

See. Told y'all I'd been spoiled.

And then I moved to this god-forsaken corner of Georgia, with nary a curry in sight.... *cries*

Garlic Mayo, first last and always.

+1 Cool Points for Garlic Mayo.

+5 Cool Points for Sisters of Mercy ref.

I thought I was the only person who liked ranch on everything except salads. Sweet!:)

Only thing I insist on Ranch for, is Pizza! :)
