peanut sauce / satay sauce
nothing beats it
I like fries with peanut sauce, but I love fries with peanut sauce + mayonaise + raw onions.
Yes, I’m Dutch… ;)
Yum, war fries :)
🤤
The kid’s plate at my usual Thai place is satay and fries. I’ve definitely stolen a few fries and can confirm this is a pretty good combo
Mayonnaise
This is the correct answer.
Actually, mayodenoche is correct
Mayo, cheese sauce, garlic sauce. Ketchup is actually overrated.
Ranch dressing and Buffalo sauce
Pepper
Everything that normally goes on street corn.
Freddy’s fry sauce, barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey mustard, cocktail sauce, malt vinegar, cheese sauce
I picked up a love of curry sauce or garlic sauce on my fries during my time living in London.
Those folks do fast food right - cheap, easy to find, and greasy.
Cooked barbeque sauce.
None of that raw shit.
Mayo.
Maybe add some garlic, and bam:
Aioli.
Don’t say that to a French chef, it’ll get you murdered.
Aioli, by definition, is ‘garlic and oil’.
Mayonnaise, by definition, is ‘egg yolks, beaten with oil.’
Mayonnaise and garlic is therefore, by culinary definition, aioli.
I invite you to ask any French chef.
Aioli is “garlic and oil” by translation. By definition aioli is a spread made from oil emulsified with garlic, which mixing garlic into mayonnaise does not achieve. That said, the colloquial use of aioli to refer to just about any thick smooth spread is well on its way to changing that. Pedants like me can fight it all we want, but languages evolve. It’s just what they do.
It does achieve it, as mayonnaise is emulsified.
“Batman’s a detective.”
“It’s not Batman!”
When I said “emulsified with garlic” I was trying to convey the idea that the garlic is the emulsifier. “Oil emulsified by egg with garlic added for flavor” is not an aioli by its rigid definition, but it does fit the american colloqual use
Rogan josh curry sauce (although most other curry sauces are also good). Chips and curry sauce is a really popular fast food in the UK, but the curry sauce in question is much closer to a brown sauce than it is to anything that’s usually associated with the word “curry”. So I make my own curry sauce and put it on instead. This does, of course, completely ruin the “fast” part of “fast food”, but it is very tasty
worcestershire sauce
Ranch dressing, or a mix of half ranch dressing and half ketchup I call “krantchup”. Specifically Marie’s ranch mixed with Primitive Kitchen ketchup is so good on fries.
