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

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 year 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 9 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Same. Sauce ruins good fries.

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 19 points 1 year ago
[–] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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 9 points 1 year ago

Chili, to make chili cheese fries. Yum.

Also good w/ tater tots.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Fight this:

[–] Floey@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago

Salt and Malt Vinegar go all over my fries.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

As God commands. Anything else is sacrilegious.

[–] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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!

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Messy fries > dipping fight me.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, sometimes you don't want dirty hands

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Do you not have forks where you live?

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

[–] Venicon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] solidgrue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a basic bitch who usually sticks to honey mustard but I really like your sense of variety. They all sound really yummy.

[–] solidgrue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It ain't wrong if it makes your taste buds happy!

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Line kraft singles?

[–] solidgrue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure I've ever had Velveeta. If you can ever get your hands on curds though please give 'em a try.

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

[–] linkhidalgogato@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

salt obviously but besides that cheese and bacon.
