Vincent : You know what they put on French fries in Holland instead of ketchup?

Jules : What?

Vincent : Mayonnaise.

Jules : Goddamn.

Vincent : I’ve seen ‘em do it, man. They fuckin’ drown ‘em in that shit.

There are two true toppings, but you need them both together.

I like Ketchup, but my best friend hates it. He says, “It smells like homeless people.” lol

Thank you, now I wanna watch the movie and eat French fries with mayonnaise.

Oh this should make for some lively discussion.

Plain ketchup is for kids. Ketchup as a courier for more complex flavors (curry, garlic, thai chilies) is great.

If the fries are really good though, just stick to vinegar. Or malt vinegar, if you want the vinegar to taste like it was strained through an anus.

If fries are soggy, please put hot sauce or gravy on them. Turns into a delicious fork & knife job.

Not ketchup.

Never ketchup.

I never eat chips without tomato sauce.

It’s just unnatural to have them on their own..

Fact: French fries are Belgian.
Source: I’m currently on holiday in France and miss my home cuisine.

Bonusfact: nothing beats Belgian mayo when it comes to condiments, especially the one with extra lemon. I really don’t know why the rest of the world insists on turning mayo into something sweet(ish).

Sweet?

Oil

Egg yolk

Vinegar

Isn’t the Belgian version just lemon juice instead of vinegar? Isn’t that the sweet version?

Most home made ones are decent and similar, but some of the foreign commercial offerings really taste sweeter, especially the Dutch ones.

We use those ingredients, with a bit of mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper, for the base one, and add a bit of lemon juice for the lemon variant. The difference isn’t huge, but you sure taste it if you’ve grown up with it.

This whole thread has made me question the direction of humanity. What kind of degenerate doesn’t have french fries with ketchup?

Unless you have tari yellow hot pepper sauce from Peru or some good, fresh aioli, ketchup is a perfectly fine pairing. Malt vinegar is fine if you are eating fish and chips, but it gets too soggy in normal situations.

Bunch of condiment haters in this thread. There's a lot of good options for fries. Malt Vinegar, Ketchup, Marinara, Gravy, BBQ Sauce and Honey Mustard are all good choices. Although my favorite is cheese.

All this ketchup hate is shocking. Ketchup is delicious. There is plenty of room in this world for all kinds of ketchup condiments. Don’t discriminate. Eliminate your prejudices against those condiments that are different from your personal condiment comfort zone. Whether it’s ketchup, mayonnaise, vinegar, or gravy and cheese curds, learn to understand and accept other fry condiments.

I honestly don’t get the point of ketchup with French fries, it completely over powers the taste of the fries. My brother in law pretty much just uses the fries as the delivery system for the ketchup.

Next thing you’ll tell me is that mayo doesn’t go with fries. May I ask, what do you dip your fries in?

Better yet, just dip them in fry sauce. Or, DIP THEM IN WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT BECAUSE IT IS YOUR FOOD AND YOUR TASTE BUDS!

If one likes it (and most of the known universe eats fries with a condiment), why does it bother you?

Further fact: they’re chips.

None of your “fries”, French or otherwise.

These are chips and go well with fish.

Ketchup ruins perfectly good fries.

However, the curry aioli that a local restaurant makes in-house and brings out with their fires is a COMPLETELY different story...
