French fries sometimes go in kebabs and stuff around here. When they're on the side, that is awesome. When they're just drenched in the sauce so you get a soggy pile of greasy potato, it is disgusting.

Oh, and fruity beers suck: not just "notes of blahblahblah in my hipster IPA" which can be good, but "we literally put fruit juice in this stuff" which... can't. I like beer, I like fruit. They do not, however, need to mix on my account.

Sorta related: coriander (cilantro) is fine in moderation and I'm a sucker for a baguette. Once had a banh mi that had a fucking bushel of the stuff, tasted like being dragged through miles of dense shrubbery after someone yanked you out of the shower mid-shampooing. Also burning.

In Greece it is pretty standard to put fries on gyros. That's part of why I love them. But: having the proper crispy fry is essential, as is eating your gyro freshly made.

My local Greek place does this and I always assumed it was an Americanized gyro. They're super tasty and we love eating there. Interesting to know it's actually done in Greece too.

Fresh and still crispy, sure. It's the sogginess that got me.

I said the same about fruity beers, sours, lambics, (also found white wines too acidic) and now I like them lol. Sometimes taste changes when you get older.

There's a fruit beer sold around here that's actually quite good, and with a better alcohol kick than most beers. Unlike the ones you mention, it doesn't use barley at all, and tastes kind of like some lambics I've had.
