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.
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.
1 nah
2 dudes out here gate-keeping fries
Kapsalon is potato nachos confirmed.
Kapsalon is fucking great 🇳🇱🇳🇱
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.
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
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
Fight this:
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.
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 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!
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!
I love disco fries & poutine, but its not an everyday thing for me. (Disco fries are like an American version of poutine with beef gravy & yellow American cheese instead of cheese curds)
I make a dipping sauce from ketchup & mayo and will variously embellish it with things like mustard/dill relish/sriracha or worcestershire/garlic/oregano/lemon juice
I also make a "buffalo ranch seasoning" with cayenne, garlic, vinegar powder and powdered ranch dressing.
Cheese & bacon bits with sour cream is another favorite.
I'm a basic bitch who usually sticks to honey mustard but I really like your sense of variety. They all sound really yummy.
It ain't wrong if it makes your taste buds happy!
yellow American cheese instead of cheese curds)
Line kraft singles?
Sure, or melted Velveeta
I'm not sure I've ever had Velveeta. If you can ever get your hands on curds though please give 'em a try.
Oh, I just make them. 😁
Depends on the chips/fries and what the sauce is. Sometimes I want just a wee bit to add a kick, other times I want to be face pounded by some cheesy garlic goodness
I put salt on my fries. I dip them not.
salt obviously but besides that cheese and bacon.
Chili
I can only give a non exhaustive list:
Mayonaise, onions, beef stew, peanut butter, tartar sauce, pickles, cocktail saus, andaloes, barbeque sauce, bicky sauce, joppie sauce, Hawaii sauce, Brazilian sauce, tomagrec, chilli, curry, Mammoet, Samurai and some do a combination of several.
The list of options to put on your fries here is long.
Cocktail sauce is cheating. Lol
I love fries & cocktail sauce on my shawarma sandwich.
