What goes best on fries/chips?

I like one dipped in ketchup, the next one dipped in tarter sauce. I don't usually put vinegar on fries because it makes them soggy. But I love malt vinegar on deep fried or breaded fish and even a very thin bit of tarter on the fish. Trying to cut out some of that extra fat since trying to lose weight, on baked fish, I sometimes put sweet pickle relish to dip it in instead of tarter sauce...just the relish and that tastes pretty good too.

Vinegar is win!!!! If you can't buy it, go to Captain D's and order something cheap but ask for a couple handfuls of malt vinegar. We have tons in a jar from there lol! (Same with taco bell sauce!)

FYI this is the more common vinegar you see... cor even talking about it makes my mouth water... mmmmm fish and chips and LOADS of vinegar.. and brown sauce (HP Sauce) NOMMMMMAGE.

Carrie, if you want something to tasty-up non-fried fish, try mango salsa. Cut up a mango, a little cilantro (or a lot if you like it -- it's incredibly good for you), pinch of sea salt, some chopped green onion and chopped fresh hot pepper of your choice, top it off with a dash of lime juice, toss and enjoy your fish.

The last I tried it with was swai, which isn't bad, which is pretty good considering the only fish I REALLY like tends to be cold water, deep sea types, halibut, mahi, tuna, salmon, etc.

Salt and vinegar potato chips are disgusting (IMO) and I have always thought that was an extremely radical flavor. I don't know anyone who likes them except a few people and they get a lot of weird looks for it, lol. I guess it's a southern (American) thing. Here the only thing that people really put on fries is ketchup or chili, bacon, and cheese.

I am not trying to be narrow minded about my fries. I am just completely shocked over the things that apparently half the world puts on fries that I was unaware of. Especially vinegar. It just has such a nasty smell and flavor. I didn't realize it was anything but an ingredient to be used in trace amounts or as a cleaner.

And here I thought I was so worldly and open-minded about food.
lol

Sauce Tartare ou Sauce Americaine(Ketchup mixed with mayo).

We call that Marie Rose sauce

Fries?



or

Chips?





Everyone puts vinegar on their chips... except my other half. Standard question - do you want salt and vinegar? No chippy DOESN'T have vinegar.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE American Chip Spice (I don't know why it's called this, as I suspect it's not American... :rofl1: )



But that is very hard to come by anywhere but East Yorkshire (my home county) So I rarely ever have it.

Usually I just have salt and loads of vinegar

But chips and gravy is good tooooooo -mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...!!! Again another very common combination from the chippy!! The chips go all mushy... nom nom.



And I will basically eat chilli sauce on anything - so that too.

Isn't that pretty much just thousand island? I hate that stuff.

I've never heard of Thousand Island

I voted vinegar because YUM but also approve of ketchup and Frosty.

The best, however, is cheese, bacon bits, and chives, with ranch dressing for dipping.
