Nothing worse than anything soggy! Mayo with curry is tasty, too!

There's no reason to use plain 'ol Heinz at all, unless the fries are
badly cooked. A GBD french fry needs only salt.

Tastes vary, obviously, but I can't believe I'm the only person here
who doesn't use ketchup on fries.

Many British have been using malt vinegar for as long as anyone knows
and the Dutch and Belgians use mayonnaise of various types (usually
having a rather acid flavor.)

I like tomato sauce better than ketchup.
It's less sweet. But I only eat french fries
about once or twice a year. They're fatty
little daggers of carbs.

I don't put ketchup on fries either. I don't put ketchup on much of
anything for that matter.

LOL - I love catsup on fries. There's even a right way and a wrong
way to do it. Dipping is the only proper way. Topping fries with
catsup is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.

When the USA came out with its current version of the food pyramid, the
first thing which occurred to me was that french fries had OFFICIALLY become
evil.

I agree with that, but I also like dipping fries in mayo or other dipping
sauces. I draw the line at dipping fries into a chocolate shake, though.

Im one of those that like mayo with fries, and one of my favorite Mayo's
is made with horseradish and walnuts.

I was inspired by the french recipe "sauce raifort aux noix" horseradish
sauce with walnuts made with cream, i just put the grated horseradish
and the finely chopped walnuts in the mayo and let sit for 24 hours.

Sauce Mousquetiare is just mayo to which has been added finely chopped
shallots which have been cooked in white wine, and to which is added
chives and a bit of cayenne.

When I lived in Germany years ago, There was a sausage stand in
Karlsruhe that I'd stop at before returning to the kaserne at night. He
had the nicest currywurst mit pomme frites. The curry/tomato sauce went
very well with the fries and did not have the heavy sweetness of a
ketchup. Excellant fries too, He did the twice deep fried cook Belgian
style.

If you haven't tried it, fries straight out of the cooker with a wendy's
frosty is actually pretty good. One of those things that don't sound
appealing, but are surprisingly good.

No reason both can't be true.
