What Goes With French Fries / Chips ?


soon

Recommended Posts

What goes with fries where you live?  Or what do you like?  And importantly: does it go on top or on the side?

I love a poutine; fresh cheese curds and brown gravy on top of fries.

Also just salt pepper on top and ketchup on the side.

Also love Newfoundland fries which is essentially poutine plus stuffing/turkey dressing and peas.

For fish and chips I use tarter sauce as fries dip.

Tartar sauce is all right, if homemade. I like Dijon mustard and Heinz Ketchup with my fries. Sometimes mayonnaise. 

never thought to try Dijon.  Sounds good!

Cook a good piece of meat with your fries and it's all right. Just ketchup and mayonnaise are for kids. Mustard and ketchup are for grown men.

I just learned how to make good, hot english mustard which no doubt adds to the grown up factor

Steak, I think, would suit me for this combo

one time i made a steak and was kinda iffy on the tenderness. well having learned from some pretty great chefs i knew the secret to really good restaurant food...BUTTER. lots of it. so i added a good knob to the steaks. i had made fries to go with the steaks and those fries with the butter running into them were sooooo fricking delicious! :drool:

I think Id have to start like you; having them cooked and building towards the raw.  

Sounds like they really are an aphrodisiac!

English or american mustard sucks, you put too much sugar. I think in France we have the best tasting mayonnaise because there is dijon mustard in its recipe. 

After that if you are really into cooking, you can make a decent Bearnaise, if not Andalouse sauce. I think with a good piece of meat the graal is what we call 'sauce aux morilles'. It's the best.

Queen AFR, Goddess of Produce!!!!   Your a bit of a deviant :lol:

Pre requisite for a royal now that I think of it :lol:

I know that apparently asking if people like jazz is also a swinger signal.  Oysters too I guess

The fries are French, dijon is French and I think mayonnaise is French; so I'd accept that its true y'all likely make the best.  Ive never gotten far passed the mother sauces, but would like to try that!

The French I live near also feel strongly about their poutine which is, in part, why i listed it first :P

Perhaps. But Ketchup is still king.

Never tasted poutine, it's a canadian thing, looks good but we don't make them here.

Poutine is really, really good.  I live in Canada.  Ive had it in back country Quebec and its delicious.  As was the quasi-poutine served in school cafeteria out side of Quebec.  But its weird; if its really hyped and someone tries it for first time, they might just kinda shrug and be like "yeah, thats tasty, but not magical."  But if one were to be good and hungry and just try it with out hype, then they too will say its one of the best foods.
