I pretty much drown anything with ketchup...


I tend to dip my fries though. Since I like eating fries with my hands rather than using a fork; but I still pretty much smother them with ketchup. Always have, and apparently always will~

French fries with ranch. Just smother them with it.  If you haven't tried it, you're missing out

I've never tried gravy though.  How interesting!  O.o  

I've never understood fries in frosties, but I've tried it and it wasn't BAD.  Just certainly not my choice of 'condiment'. LOL

I'll use ketchup or BBQ sauce for fries if they're plain or otherwise don't have any real flavor. I like the taste of food too, but fried potatoes don't really have much in the way of flavor.

My favorite fries are seasoned though... like the seasoned curly fries you get at Jack-in-the-Box or Arby's... or what most restaurants I've been to seem to serve (Applebee's, Outback, etc...) these fries are good enough on their own to not need anything to mask their flavor. Condiments would just ruin them at that point.

Also, don't we have a food section for threads like this?

Local Mods : (I hope I did that summoning right... never did this before)

Crazy Li :

This is true, but it isn't necessary to summon mods for sub-forum edits. These are generally considered a minor issue, and we fix the issue as soon as we see it, so there is no need to summon mods.

Lazlo Falconi : Well the last time I mentioned how I thought something belonged somewhere else, I was told to summon the local mods... now I'm being told not to? @.@

This is why I never did it before. I never knew if I was right in doing so, so I felt it best not to needlessly summon and possibly tick people off. :/

Crazy Li : Haha, actually that's just my canned response to most users, because especially during the Tour de Vizzed, we get a lot of back-seat modding--that is, users posting just to say "This goes somewhere else" when it's unnecessary, and all they really want is post-count plus one.

I don't think that's what you were doing, and from your posts I can see you're smart enough to figure out when a thread is actually in the wrong place, so you can probably just disregard what I said.

But for most users, on the other hand...

Lazlo Falconi :   I always just click the sub-category in general chat for my food related posts.  Even now at the top of this I see:

 General Chat -- Food and Drink --- French Fries

                         

             But I've had food related posts moved before I think too.  If I'm not in the right spot then I think "Food and Drink" should be removed from the sub-categories in General Chat so there's no more confusion.

I picked both the "ketchup" option and the "other" option. I kind of vary how I eat my french fries because there are so many choices! I typically prefer my fries salted but can suffer without salt. Let's see here:


W/ Ketchup
Definitely the old-time favorite. Salted fries with ketchup are awesome any time of the month, day, week, or night.

W/ Ketchup/Mustard/Mayo mixed
The ever favorite method of making condiments last longer in school. We'd take all three, mix 'em up and dip away. It's got a semi-addicting flavor, in my opinion. And goes wonderful with any kind of fry.

W/ Ranch
For any ranch lovers - this is like heaven. Or at least, all the ranch lovers I know. Fries (especially salted) in ranch gets a nice starch & ranch fix any day.

W/ Chocolate Shake/Frosty
The old favorite that you either love or hate. Or never tried and think it's disgusting. This is by far my favorite "condiment" and tastes best when the fries are salted. My opinion, anyhow.

I dip them in BBQ, its my favorite. Other then that i eat them hot, salted and plain which i think you can't beat.

I like fries with ketchup but I usually just forego it and eat them plain if that's my only option.

However, if I get to spoil myself and get something fun to dip my fries in, I usually go with nacho cheese, chili, or some sort of shake. I used to dip my fries in mayo but I don't think I could anymore, it just feels way too heavy and gross. There was also a time when I would use ranch because I'm a major sauce person and I liked to slather ranch on everything, but thinking of doing that now kind of grosses me out, as well.

This thread has inspired me to try gravy fries though. That sounds ridiculously good.

I think French Fries (In the UK we call them Chips) taste best with Ketchup because Ketchup is an all time classic favourite and it tastes awesome especially if you were in a Fast Food Restaurant.

iplaytoph :  I've never thought of using barbecue sauce, but now that you mention it, that actually sounds absolutely fantastic!

I'm still curious about the gravy option though. What kind of gravy do some people use with their fries?  I've never seen it or heard of it.

It really depends on what I feel like using or having with my french fries. It also depends on how the fries are prepared and cooked. If the fries are just lightly salted, I will usually either eat them without anything extra or just a small amount of ketchup. Now if say, I get the criss cut style fries you get at Carl's Jr, sometimes I get them at the store, I'll eat them with ranch dressing. Sounds gross, I know. But it actually tastes good with those kind of seasoned fries.

I will eat regular fries with chili and cheese, but that's very rare I do that. I tend to try to eat fresh cut home made fries, because it's a little more healthier than getting the pre-cut frozen kind or fast food french fries. So I can season them in different ways, save money and eat them with almost anything.

I like putting ketchup on my fries , but it really depends on my mood .. If i am happy i like putting ketchup , but if i am sad i like it salted / plain .. I also like putting cheese on it ( only some times ) ..
