But, to answer your question, I like my fries with ketchup in most settings. However, at the Potato Patch at Kennywood Park in West Mifflin PA (perhaps you're familiar with it!) I get cheese & garlic salt. My dad loved them with gravy.

A friend of mine likes fries with mayo. I know that's very European, but...GROSS! (I can't stand mayonnaise.)

But sometimes I like a little bit of Grey Poupon mustard on them. I NEVER use ketchup. It changes the flavor of fries completely. To me.

But then I dip them in ketchup as I eat them. Putting ketchup on top makes them soggy, and I like mine very crisp!

I like fries with malt vinegar or ketchup or just salt, which might explain why I am in a weight loss group (no drugs, just the exercise program of pushing away from the table). We are visiting Canada in the fall so maybe I'll WALK to a bistro and try fries with gravy.

oh, the looks I get ! I asked in one place and the waitress serving us, upon asking for tartar sauce said incredibly dryly... 'There is nothing we serve that takes tartar sauce'. I said apparently there is because you have french fries and I want tartar sauce ! that along with my medium rare arriving well done - no tip. She was not respectful.

In all seriousness, it's extremely rare that I eat french fries but when I do ...those fries are homemade and in a small serving size and lightly salted with pink Himalayan salt.


I can't eat french fries from a restaurant.

Will NEVER eat the, as I call them wrinkly fries, only straight fries. But I’ll tell ya, it’s sure way to gain some lbs eating them with Mayo. Now, I will only have fries may-be once a month and every OTHER time I’ll order the Mayo dipping sauce.

I hate ketchup. Potatoes have a flavor. It's a wonderful flavor. Why cover it up? I love that potato-ey flavor and I want to experience it. Too often that wonderful potato-ey flavor gets cooked out of French fries, as well as baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, tater tots, au gratin potatoes, potato sticks, potato chips, there are a million ways to cook potatoes, and whenever I eat potatoes in any form, I always want to experience that wonderful potato-ey flavor. I have visited Belgium twice. In that country they dip their fries not in ketchup, but in mayonnaise. I hate ketchup, but I love mayonnaise, so I tried my fries that way. Incidentally, I think Belgium is actually the origin country of French fries, not France. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong about that. But in this country, I eat my French fries bare-ass naked. I mean the fries are bare-ass naked, not me. Sorry about the unintentional imagery.

McDonald's fries, naked.
For thicker fries (crinkle or steak fries) I like A-1 or Heintz 57 sauce.
I don't eat fries a lot, but when I do those are my preferred ways.

There's ketchup on the burger, so there's ketchup on the french fries. Delicious.
But once per year only

No ketchup or fancy aioli for me, and I prefer them baked as I shy away from deep-fried food.

It was a joke! The Lounge has always been a place for DUers to decompress from GD and LBN, but it’s also a place to reveal yourself.

If I were to mine data, this paradigm is the way I’d do it.
