Default Ketchup/Catsup Tips

Instead of adding malt vinegar to your fries and making them soggy, add the
vinegar and mix it in with your ketchup (or mayo) instead. Hmm, malted
mayo... I'll have to try that.

Also try adding balsamic vingar, Heinz 57, A1, sriracha, BBQ sauce, or even
chinese black vinegar (kinda like a strong malt vinegar).

There's no reason to use just plain 'ol Heinz day after day. Play with
your food, live a little.

Nothing worse than anything soggy! Mayo with curry is tasty, too!
Isnt' that what "aioli" is ?? Flavored mayo? Heheh, talk about a good
burger

There's no reason to use plain 'ol Heinz at all, unless the fries are
badly cooked. A GBD french fry needs only salt.

Tastes vary, obviously, but I can't believe I'm the only person here
who doesn't use ketchup on fries.

Many British have been using malt vinegar for as long as anyone knows
and the Dutch and Belgians use mayonnaise of various types (usually
having a rather acid flavor.)

I like tomato sauce better than ketchup.
It's less sweet. But I only eat french fries
about once or twice a year. They're fatty
little daggers of carbs.

I don't put ketchup on fries either. I don't put ketchup on much of
anything for that matter.

LOL - I love catsup on fries. There's even a right way and a wrong
way to do it. Dipping is the only proper way. Topping fries with
catsup is wrong, wrong, wrong.

When the USA came out with its current version of the food pyramid, the
first thing which occurred to me was that french fries had OFFICIALLY become
evil.

I agree with that, but I also like dipping fries in mayo or other dipping
sauces. I draw the line at dipping fries into a chocolate shake, though.

Im one of those that like mayo with fries, and one of my favorite Mayo's
is made with horseradish and walnuts.

I was inspired by the french recipe "sauce raifort aux noix" horseradish
sauce with walnuts made with cream, i just put the grated horseradish
and the finely chopped walnuts in the mayo and let sit for 24 hours.

Sauce Mousquetiare is just mayo to which has been added finely chopped
shallots which have been cooked in white wine, and to which is added
chives and a bit of cayenne.

When I lived in Germany years ago, There was a sausage stand in
Karlsruhe that I'd stop at before returning to the kaserne at night. He
had the nicest currywurst mit pomme frites. The curry/tomato sauce went
very well with the fries and did not have the heavy sweetness of a
ketchup. Excellant fries too, He did the twice deep fried cook Belgian
style.

If you haven't tried it, fries straight out of the cooker with a wendy's
frosty is actually pretty good. One of those things that don't sound
appealing, but are surprisingly good.

It all depends on the circumstances. At home I usually use ketchup, but at
work or on the road (or sidewalk), usually not.

That sounds like something my girls did as teens. Not saying its a good
or bad thing, but I seem to remember them doing that.

I remember when my oldest wouldn't eat eggs without ketchup. Not
something she learned from me! Then the little sisters followed suit.
Danged peer pressure! ;-) I guess that's what led them to the "harder
stuff" like dipping their fries in shakes.

Oddly enough, these folks that I'm doing work for came in and gave me a
snack. It's teri-fries! Fries with a sweet teriyaki sauce. The guy says
it's a best seller. Personally, it's something I would never think of
eating but what the heck, it's free. It's crazy but great! :-)

I don't mind my fries dipped in ketchup, but if they're really good,
I just like salt. However, I do have a weakness for mayo on my
fries, long before I heard about those Belgians. Heh. Mayo mixed
with ketchup, too.

Sweet teriyaki, I'd try it.

Another Method of Making Walnut Catsup

Take green walnuts before the shell is formed, and grind them in a
crab-mill, or pound them in a marble mortar. Squeeze out the juice
through a coarse cloth, and put to every gallon of juice a pound of
anchovies, and the same quantity of bay-salt, four ounces of Jamaica
pepper, two of long and two of black pepper; of mace, cloves, and
ginger, each an ounce, and a stick of horseradish. Boil all together
till reduced to half the quantity, and then put it into a pot. When it
is cold, bottle it close, and in three months it will be fit for use.
And Trout Fishing in America and Maria Callas poured walnut catsup on
their hamburgers.

If you're chips are getting soggy from malt vinegar, you're using too
much! Not meant to drown the poor innocents in it

No reason to use ketchup at all. Much tastier things to put on a pile of
freshly-fried chips/fries/frites.

Even the 'egg foo yung' or teriyaki sauces at the cheap Chinese buffet
are tastier on chips than ketchup.

Don't know where you ate your frites in Belgium or the Netherlands. Two
common 'fritesaus' brands, Remia and Calve, are hardly acid in flavour.

Plus all the other sauces a corner frituur/friterie would have such as
curry sauce (also in the UK), mustard, sweet and sour and the inevitable
'special saus', whose ingredients vary from shop to shop.

I've never had mayo and fries, then again, I've never had teri-fries
until today. One of my new favorite sauces is mayo and Sriracha sauce
mixed together with a little sesame oil. I like to make mine pretty hot
but you can make it milder if that's your thing. This goes great with
raw tuna.

Rumor has it that mayo is the secret ingredient used in the famous
spaghetti and chili of the restaurant which is below my office. My
friend likes to add mayo to his spaghetti sauce. I think that's weird
but the guy is a pretty upstanding guy otherwise. :-) Some folks like to
slather on a layer of mayo on fish before baking. Weird, but I think
it's a great way to prepare fish. The weird little thing that I like to
do is to make grilled cheese sandwiches using mayo instead of butter. It
makes a beautiful and tasty sandwich but it's weird - I guess nobody's
perfect, eh? :-)

I've had salmon that way. The mayo puffs up and you don't even know
it's mayo when the dish is served.

I see this all the time at chinese buffets. Greenlip mussles heaped with
mayo and spices then broiled, and a whole salmon fillet wit a mayo "crust".
Too rich and disgusting for me.

At work, they make really good steak fries. I eat them with a mix of
ketchup and tapatio. Way yummy. (Would do mayo, but they only have
light mayo (ptui!).)
