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.

@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.

[IrishHeart]

@neph93 Daddy’s sauce is still available but is a much inferior product to HP to my very unsophisticated palate.

[IrishHeart]

@goosehd put it on the the ‘to do ‘ list when you visit Gosport!

[goosehd]

@IrishHeart I assume this must be consumed with beer to be fully appreciated

[IrishHeart]

@goosehd spot on. With the possible exception of breakfast cereal, most food types are enhanced by a couple of pints!

which applies to everything

@endo speaking of...how has the recent changes in law been going? Absolute chaos and destruction or no discernible effects on society at large?

Edit: When Canada made their changes, some predicted the ultimate downfall of society, which still hasn't materialized.

[endo]

No dicernible effects at all. Just that what you‘ve been doing illegally for decades is legal now. And of course, the conservatives a predicting the decline of the West.

@endo There are 2 states that opened up to Recreational in my area(New York, and New Jersey) and both have made an effort to give dispensary licenses to people of certain minority groups who may have been disproportionally effected by The War on Drugs over here. So far it seems to have worked out well. There are also several women run dispensaries and farms. Anything like that where you are? After a little over a year the prices have started to come down,and while the quality isn't as good as states like California and Colorado,it's been on the improve as well. I was in a dispensary on 4/20 and they couldn't have been making money any faster if they printed it themselves. It was quite a festive atmosphere.

[mclaincausey]

This world is so stupid. Tobacco and alcohol ruin livers, lungs, and lives while comparatively innocuous cannabis gets criminalized. Glad the tide is turning but the fact that so many lives have been ruined over the years by such a stupid prohibition is a grave injustice.

[Jett129]

@mclaincausey I concur,I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little bit miffed,after telling us,for all these years, that marijuana was a gateway drug,and NOW they want to be the dealer. Progress nonetheless.

@sabergirl ketchup is wonderful in its place (burgers, fries), just never on a bacon sandwich.
