WHAT?!?!?! You've never had poutine? I thought that everyone has tried it...Hell, fast food joints sell it here, you can buy it anywhere. And the authentic poutine is by far the best - but there's no need to go to Quebec to get it, just order it at a restaurant instead of a fast food joint anywhere up north.

Plain, preferrably. French fries were invented in Belgium and not France, actually.

Mayonnaise for me.  Sometimes I'll settle for vinegar though.

Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King. But, you know what they put on french fries in Holland instead of ketchup?
Jules: What?
Vincent: Mayonnaise.
Jules: God damn!
Vincent: I seen 'em do it, man, they f**kin' drown 'em in that sh*t.

I dip, only ketchup.
I have actually eaten French Fries in Amsterdam myself once... it was quite good. :)

I like thick white vinegar on french fries.Chili and cheese is good too.
 
I also like dipping them in creamy horseradish sauce.
 
Damn...now I'm hungry for french fries!!!!!!LOL

Oooh - listen to Mr Posh!

Right! Chips (not fries) should by law be served with malt vinegar, salt & good ketchup on the side; anything else is a criminal offence, and the offender must be forced to smother his chips in that curious Newfoundland speciality, "dressing" - ie, sawdust (true!)*






*Peter insisted it was spiced breadcrumbs, but I know what I saw!

Mayo is definitely the best way to eat fries my friend.  Not cheap McDonald's fries, real fries !

Mayo for me too........ but for good old fashioned english chips salt and vinegar is the only option!

Sounds idyllic, P-C

Chips that have been fried in dripping,wrapped in newspaper and eaten with your fingers.Those wooden forks put my teeth on edge.

For gods sake - I've told you (and you're English too, so have no excuse) and you, Man-Erg; tomato ketchup is the only legal side garnish allowed for CHIPS in England; the only exception to this law is if you can produce a Certificate Of HP Sauce Exemption, officially stamped by the Minister For Chips

We English have our standards!
