Dipping > slathering in sauce. Less messy and more control over chip to sauce ratio
But when it’s cheese sauce and bacon, the Mess is part of the experience.
Chip < Fry
As an Australian, here’s the real war.
Chip = Fry <> Crisp = Chip
Or in New Zealand: Chip != Chip
I forgot what that middle operator means.
Pommfritt!
French fries are meant to be dipped. If they have shit dumped all over them, they are no longer fries, they are potato nachos. Which is delicious, but it’s not French fries.
According to the cube rule of food identification this is correct.
Y’know I never thought of chili cheese fries as nachos, but I do love me some chili and cheese on tortilla chips.
Frito pies ftw!
Kapsalon is potato nachos confirmed.
So it’s Donair poutine? I’ll fw it
Döner poutine, yes, though shoarma is common as well. But yeah, it’s great.
I’m from Canada, and when we say “Donair”, we are referring to what many other countries would call “döner kebab”
For clarity: donair is a specific kind of doner kebab invented in Canada, not just a local name for it.
Canada still has other kinds of doner kebabs besides the donair.Accurate username
The choice was intentional 😭
Or many Peruvian dishes. I’m a sucker for lomo saltado personally.
1 nah
2 dudes out here gate-keeping fries
Malt vinegar is delicious on potato nachos.
Can’t argue with that!
They are soggy is what they are, and by extension, disgusting
E: downvote me all you want, you snot-fry loving heathens.
Let me introduce you to poutine
Or Lomo Saltado.
Came here for this. Thank you to you and your fellow Canadians (assuming based on instance) for bringing this treasure to the world.
Poutine is great!
While we’re introducing Canadian fries to the world, everyone should also learn about Newfie fries: https://www.therecord.com/things-to-do/getting-to-the-bottom-of-newfie-fries/article_5d089bb9-2330-5bc0-bfef-62c682497853.html
(Photos don’t do it justice.)
Yet another thing we should hold Canadians responsible for, apart from clubbing baby seals.
What does it taste like though?
_
I eat my fries no sauce. I like the taste potato with a little bit of salt in it.
Same. Sauce ruins good fries.
Salt
The correct answer is chile verde and cheddar cheese. I don’t care if you need to eat it with a fork, it’s what happiness tastes like.
Fight this:
Chili, to make chili cheese fries. Yum.
Also good w/ tater tots.
Call me crazy but I mess my fries up and eat them with a fork.
I vote for cheesy fries. I used to like malt vinegar on steak fries/potato wedges, but I can’t eat it anymore (fucking Celiac’s).
In the UK most fish and chips shop vinegar isn’t malt but tastes just like it (most people don’t even know). You can buy the same stuff online or get it from wholesalers.
Well now I gotta find some here in the States! Thanks!
Do potatoes have gluten?
Malt vinegar does
TIL
I drown them in malt vinegar and then dip them in tartar sauce.
As God commands. Anything else is sacrilegious.
I sort of consider dipping fries and fries with stuff on them to be two different but related species of meal, pretty much exactly like the difference between chips-and-salsa and nachos. Frychos.
As to preferences, for dipping, spicy ketchup (mix tomato ketchup 1-for-1 with siriacha or other hot sauce); for frychos, fucking everything! Load em up: guacamole, chilli, cheese, onions, peppers, bacon, mushrooms, gravy, salsa, mustard, marshmallows, spinkles, alright alright I’m getting carried away now, you get the idea!
Salt and Malt Vinegar go all over my fries.
Messy fries > dipping fight me.
I don’t want to fight you, you’re covered in condiment
If you give me a fork, sure. But if not then bugger off with them and bring me new fries with separate dip.
Well, sometimes you don’t want dirty hands
Do you not have forks where you live?
Somehow feels more barbaic to use forks to eat fries compared to fingers
I bet you’re one of those brainlets licking the salt off your fingers
I bet you never thought about napkins, or washing your hands after youre done
I put salt on my fries. I dip them not.
