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

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

Same. Sauce ruins good fries.

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 19 points 1 month ago
[–] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month 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 11 points 1 month ago

Chili, to make chili cheese fries. Yum.

Also good w/ tater tots.

Salt and Malt Vinegar go all over my fries.

[–] Floey@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

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

[–] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month 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 month 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.

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!

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

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

As God commands. Anything else is sacrilegious.

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

Messy fries > dipping fight me.

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

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

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

Well, sometimes you don't want dirty hands

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

Do you not have forks where you live?

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

[–] linkhidalgogato@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

salt obviously but besides that cheese and bacon.

[–] solidgrue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (6 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 month 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 month ago

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

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

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

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