Dipping > slathering in sauce. Less messy and more control over chip to sauce ratio

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 2 years ago

But when it's cheese sauce and bacon, the Mess is part of the experience.

As an Australian, here's the real war.

Chip = Fry <> Crisp = Chip

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Or in New Zealand: Chip != Chip

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.

Y'know I never thought of chili cheese fries as nachos, but I do love me some chili and cheese on tortilla chips.

Came here for this. Thank you to you and your fellow Canadians (assuming based on instance) for bringing this treasure to the world.

I eat my fries no sauce. I like the taste potato with a little bit of salt in it.

[–] hakase@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Same. Sauce ruins good fries.

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.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 8 points 2 years ago

Chili, to make chili cheese fries. Yum.

Also good w/ tater tots.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I drown them in malt vinegar and then dip them in tartar sauce.

As God commands. Anything else is sacrilegious.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 years ago

Salt and Malt Vinegar go all over my fries.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I put salt on my fries. I dip them not.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Messy fries > dipping fight me.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

I don't want to fight you, you're covered in condiment

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

If you give me a fork, sure. But if not then bugger off with them and bring me new fries with separate dip.

[–] Midnight1938@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, sometimes you don't want dirty hands

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Do you not have forks where you live?

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!

[–] Floey@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Call me crazy but I mess my fries up and eat them with a fork.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Sateh saus, mayonaise and raw chopped onions, the "patatje oorlog" in the Netherlands, or "war fries". Sooooo good

[–] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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).

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Well now I gotta find some here in the States! Thanks!

salt obviously but besides that cheese and bacon.

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Sometimes I'm a put things on the fries fella, sometimes I'm a dippin' boy. There's no bad answer—only good fries!

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Put them in a paper cone and slather them with mayonnaise.
