French fries with pepper, drizzled with red pepper sauce (ie, plain ol' hot sauce, not Tabasco). Mmmmmmmmmmmm. I dated a girl who spent much time in England who insisted I have 'em with salt and malt vinegar... that's not bad either, if you have some fried fish to go with it.

That's about it.

I thought you Americans made fun of the Europeans for eating fries with mayo. At least those on the east coast do... :confused:

I did only up until I actually tried it.

Fries + Mayo, Fries + Gravy, Fries + Ketchup, Fries + Buffalo Sauce, Fries with Ranch, Fries with Chilli + jalapenos FTW

At restaurants I take the bottle of fry sauce and cover the bitten surface of my burger. I then proceed to dip fries into this and take bites out of the burger.

Oh, and fry sauce > all.

mayo? disgusting. the proper way is like this:
for(i=number of fries;i=0;i++)
{
1.pick up french fries.
2. open mouth
3. put fries in mouth
4. close mouth
5. chew
6. swallow
}

Grab one of those little plastic cups. Fill it about a third full of BBQ sauce, another third ketchup, and squeeze a packet of mayo in there. Mix.

THAT'S the ultimate fry sauce :)

Mayo? :barf;

Catsup is good but it's routine... I like BBQ sauce on them, also vinegar on occasion.

Tri-Taters/ Tater Wedges or soft fried are where its at................



also...........putting anything other than ketchup on them is just wrong.........

Different cultures different habbits I guess...

The standard here is what you call steak fries with mayo.
The only places where you get french fries if you order fries are th McDonalds, BurgerKing etc.

Still I like the orginal fries, that is the Flemish fries, the best.

the same goes for fries here.....people usually don't cook the stereotypical fries at home and they are not the standard for non fast food.

Mayonaise = Puke.

Fries + Ranch = #1
Fries + Mustard (Yellow or Spicy Brown) = #2
Fries + Gravy = Pittsburg style... #3
Fries + BBQ Sauce = #4
Fries + Lawrey's Seasoned Salt = #5
If I'm out of any of the above, fries + ketchup.

Depends on the mayonaise, it can differ quite a lot.

If you order fries here they ask you "with or without" ... the "with" always refers to mayo.
