Eating habits

[vince]

There not too many thing I won't eat. I recently drew the line at roasted goat's eyes.

Garlic mayo and/or mustard on the fries for me.

 

[BirdinMo]

I have ate ice cream with mine. Also have put mustard on them. and my all time favorite thing is to bite a dill pickle and then shovel in fries. I have a thing for pickles....

 

[DiscoBoy]

Salt and a bit of ketchup on my fries. I'll sometimes dip them in the yolk of an egg.

Also, (I might just be murdered for this) I am not a fan of poutine.

Peri Peri is Chili x100 with the tang of garlic and lemon.
I can vouch for Nando's Extra Hot.

i peri peri. i had these bad ass haloumi cheese, sweet potato and fennel kabobs just dripping with peri peri sauce.

i am pretty sure it was delish

after the first bite all my taste buds vaporized, in the most wonderful way.

That sounds good. I may buy some McDonald's french fries and dip them in a Wendy's Chocolate Frosty.

That is disgusting

After talking with so many nationalities I noticed a weird habit in eating some stuff.

Belgium is known for their chocolates, beer and fries (yes, no french fries) and of course a lot more.
But I was suprised about what people put on their fries.

We Belgians put mayonaise on our fries and also salt. But the people in the North of France and in Britain put vinegar on their fries.

But clearly we are weird, because they even made a joke about it in the movie 'Pulp Fiction' about how crazy it is to put mayonaise on your fries instead of ketchup.

So, what do you guys do on your fries and what eating habits suprised you in other countries?

Pieterjoke i ALWAYS put mayo on my fries, i love mayo, i never use ketchup or vinegar although vinegar IS nice on fries too.

I've never liked them there pommes frits, but thought about ordering French Fries in the USA when jingoist burger joints started advertising them as "Freedom Fries", just so I could annoy them.

My oddest (or so I'm told) eating habit is going to a movie, ordering the giant popcorn with the faux palm oil-based "butter" and dumping an extra large box of dark chocolate covered mints (I forget their name) on top of the popcorn. With every other handful of popcorn one gets a sweet minty surprise!

I actually like mayo on fries so I must be weird too but admit I'd be in a minority among Brits. :wink:

Not many years back we were in Brussels with Paul's parents and his Mother just cannot eat fries without vinegar. Very few of the places we ate had vinegar.

Peanut butter and jelly (jam) always surprised me in the US but I tried it and it was ok.

One of my guilty pleasures is poutine. It's very popular in Ottawa.

Poutine (Quebec French pronunciation ˈputsɪn) is a dish consisting of French fries topped with fresh cheese curds, covered with brown gravy and sometimes additional ingredients.

That actually sounds quite tasty, never heard of it before.

When that whole France v. President Bush thing happened, I still called 'french fries' FRENCH FRIES.

Junior Mints. They are called Junior Mints. ANDES Thin Mints sounds pretty interesting in hot buttered movie theater popcorn.

How about cheese and chips with a fried mars bar on the side :redface:

I forgot about poutine. But I don't regard them a fries, especially when they have the skins on them. Poutine is sooooo good that they should come with a government warning about the potential need for heart bypass surgery.

About halfway across Ontario from Quebec, unless you specifically ask for poutine, they slowly change the offering of gravy on fries and start handing out the pink stuff for dipping (ketchup mixed with mayo?). Don't know what it's made of but that tradition makes a sharp left and continues south of St. Sioux Marie (sp? sorry) down through the plaines states and over to the Rocky Mountains where it's officially called "Fries sauce." Even Argentina has picked up on this tradition and calls it "Salsa de Golfo."

Visually, it's kind of like dipping fries in smooth vomit.:frown1: But I'm told it's tasty stuff.

JUNIOR MINTS! Yeah, those things.

It is very much a Glasgow thing. I'll be honest in that I've tried the cheese and chips but never the fried Mars bar.

Nuh-uh, it is not. :biggrin1: More for moi!!! :smile:

I like the hot crispy, salty french fries at McDonald's dipped into the cold chocolate ice cream at Wendy's...YUM!!!!

 

[invisibleman]

How about cheese and chips with a fried mars bar on the side :redface:

How about deep frying the cheese, chips and MARS bar all together and drink some Jagermeister?

the vegetarian dodges another gastronomic bullet :biggrin1:

brown gravy has meat broth.... so sad. i'll never know the joy of poutine

That is disgusting

Nuh-uh, it is not. :biggrin1: More for moi!!! :smile:

I grew up in Western Ontario and I never heard of poutine until I moved to Eastern Ontario. It's like a whole 'nother country.

Don't know what it's made of but that tradition makes a sharp left and continues south of St. Sioux Marie (sp? sorry) down through the plaines states and over to the Rocky Mountains where it's officially called "Fries sauce."

Close. It's Sault St. Marie. We often call it "The Sioux". Isn't the Big Mac secret sauce mostly ketchup and mayo?

It is very much a Glasgow thing. I'll be honest in that I've tried the cheese and chips but never the fried Mars bar.

I almost lost my dinner when I saw Rubi eating fried ice cream. Just the thought is making me nauseous.
