Grocery stores usually have some seasoned fries in the frozen food
section. I do like a few of them. I think they are right tasty. Just
fries with various seasoning on them.

My favorite grocery store fries though are the plain shoestring to be
deep fried.

Mostly I cut my own potatoes and fry them.

Yes, I cut ours too. I have a deep fryer to cook them with but not very
often these days

On a sandwich. I generally prefer butter for other uses.
What would you have mayo with (besides fries).

Probably. When I was a kid, I always used ketchup, or a mixture
of yellow American-style mustard and ketchup. My taste for ketchup
(on anything) has waned, so now I almost always eat my fries just
salted. Once in a great while I'll sprinkle some vinegar on them.

Same here. I used to like ketchup but now I find it too sweet. Aha you

With nothing else, really. That's why I see fries as my opportunity.

I'm also over ketchup, also because they add sugar to it, and fries
with mustard's a bit dry.

I know two couples like that, my sister being one of them. They often
get strange looks. For some reason, much of our society does not seem to
accept that a woman can be taller than her spouse. Of course, it your
husband is 6'6" I could understand a look.

Ah. I've seen people use mayonnaise on vegetables, fish, chicken,
and probably some that I've forgotten.

I do like mayo once in a great while spread thinly on toast if I'm
getting a midafternoon snack.

I've had it dotted on sliced tomatoes (the good summer ones,
not those grocery store pink rocks); we're starting to verge
into salad territory here.

Happiness should not rely on height!. As it happens my husband
is 5 inches taller than me but we wouldn't care if that were different.

We are vey happy and for me, and I think for Cindy too, that is all that is
important ... happiness

I rarely eat fries unless it's with a hamburger (in that case fries
dipped in catsup), or fish and chips (in that casee fries with salt
and malt vinegar). There is a large amausement park in NE Ohio call
Cedar Point. I first went there in the mid-1950s and they were
serving fries with salt and malt vinegar. It certainly wasn't common
in the US back then, but has become very popular over the years.

I don't know Cedar Point in OH but I do know salt & malt vinegar on
fries/chips is something I learned about at a very young age. No
ketchup, no mayo, no blends of condiments for me. Sometimes simplest is
best.

To me, simplest is just salt. One step further, salt and malt vinegar.
And I'll tell you something, one time I ordered fish & chips (to go)
and they didn't have any malt vinegar. Since I don't make deep fried
fish & chips at home, I didn't have any malt vinegar, either. I did
have some balsamic vinegar. So I splashed a couple of the french fries
with it. Hey, that's tasty!

It does indeed! I remember tasting malt vinegar on fries when I was 11
years old. (I did happen to be living on the *other side* of the state
of Ohio at the time, although that's irrelevant.) My mother, brother
and me went to visit a great aunt on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
We bought and ate fish & chips along the wharf, served in a rolled up
newspaper. The man selling the fish & chips drizzled it with malt
vinegar. I can honestly say, no fish & chips I've ever been served,
anywhere, ever tasted that good.

Back in the 1970s there was a fast food chain called Arthur
Treacher's Fish and Chips. It in no way was representative of what
real fish and chips taste like, but they did have the malt vinegar.
:-) I have found a couple of restaurants in Phoenix that serve a
really decent English style fish and chips. We also have two English
pubs that serve mostly traditional pub fare. Both are run by English
families and the food I've had tastes as good as any I've had in
England.

I guess he was trying to cash in on his fame as side kick to Merv
Griffin. I don't think they ever had any outlets up here. Personally, I
have never had great fish and chips at any franchise, There are a few
independents around that do a pretty good job. I think the best around
is done by the local Lions Club. They have a building on a local park
and do the fish and chips on Friday nights once or twice a month during
from May to October. I tried it for the first time last fall and really
liked it. Fish and chips IMO is best eaten immediately, but it is less
than 5 minutes to get home from there so things are still nice and crisp.

You're fortunate in your area to find something above average. Here in
New England it is fairly easy as there as so many places serving fish &
chips. This is our favorite
