@DeeDee85 thank you sir! I have my moments

[Tago Mago]

skip the sauce and focus on the bacon. that's how my Grandma made them for me

@neph93 ...and opening pandora's box: What do you put on french fries? Here it's either ketchup, gravy, or malt or white vinegar with generous amounts of salt to taste.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd if I may interject: depends on what I'm eating. Fish & chips - copious amounts of malt vinegar. Pretty much everything else with chips: mayonnaise as seen here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/771862

brown sauce equals HP Sauce

I only twigged that the HP stood for "houses of Parliament" recently. I don't know how many times I gazed at the picture of the houses of Parliament on the bloody bottle without realising this.

No sauce, cajun spices instead or, if those aren't available, plenty of fresh ground black pepper.

tons of mayonnaise

@endo this is the way, Dutch style!

[ARNC]

Pretty much anything except ketchup (death to the ketchup users), not necessarily all at the same time!

French fries are really just a ranch delivery system.

Besides ranch, I do like mayo. And gasp! Ketchup.

[SKT]

I’m with @EdH …lots of seasoning. Salt and pepper. And yes, ketchup. The thought of mayo on fries makes me shudder.

[Mizmazzle]

I take my fries straight up!! Lightly salted...bone dry!

[ARNC]

@SKT don’t think, just eat! Mayonnaise and chips (fries) always makes me think of a legendary establishment from my student days (1000 years ago) that did amazing chip butties with mayonnaise in pitta bread.

I enjoy ketchup. I also love ranch. Chick Fil A sauce is great as well.

[mclaincausey]

@goosehd salt and pepper is all you need. Malt vinegar always welcome as are certain seasoning blends. Green or red chile, cheese or bechamel sauce, or gravy to shake things up. Even things like masala can work. Fries make a great standalone snack or a media for other deliciousness. I don’t mind a honey mustard, ranch, or blue cheese dressing dip from time to time. I despise ketchup and think mayonnaise is a waste of calories on fries, not really bringing enough to the experience.

Fries benefit from being cooked twice, be it a blanch+fry, double fry, or some other method. Duck fat works wonders for deep frying them. I tend to prefer fries that are irregular shapes and sizes and have pieces with skin on them.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I can’t argue with this.

[goosehd]

Now curry sauce sounds like a winner.
