Okay, I bought some malt vinegar and went to McDonalds to get some fries.

Not bad, not bad.

Preferable to ketchup, which ruins the taste of the fries. Vinegar, however, enhances the taste. Especially if you throw enough on them to make the fries soggy.

It's especially delicious when you've got a decent amount of salt on the fries.

Not bad.

What does fries with mayo taste like? That can't possibly taste good?

You need proper fries first! Thick cut fries (like from boardwalk fries, if they still have those, or Great Steak and Potato Company, 5 Guys, etc.) work best with malt vinegar. The kind with actual skins on them.

and mayo is good to dab on fries, but I prefer mixing mayo and ketchup together. I haven't done that in forever.

I like poutine too. I ate that shit up when I visited Toronto.

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #7 on:** September 07, 2009, 12:53:40 AM »

McDonald's fries are good for shoveling handfuls in your mouth, but that's about it. Just get some thick ones from the supermarket

I was talking total fat/caloric content of fries and store-bought mayo. I have never heard of homemade mayo being good for you. I'll have to check it out.

We recently(ish) changed to the kraft olive oil mayo, which tastes far better than typical light mayo but has something like 1/3 the fat.

I had just actually tried malt vinegar for the first time about a week ago, but it's definitely not for me. Dunno why I held off so long, probably because I don't tend to use regular vinegar that often.

I've never gotten the hot mustard one... but wasn't there a honey one? I think I had some honey sauce back when I was a kid but sweet and sour has been the de facto dipping suace for anything McD's related.

I had this spicy curry on rice. It was amazing. It might have kickstarted my love of spicy food.

One European thing I don't get is mayonnaise. It sits heavy and even the texture of it kind of sickens me. Some dumbfuck on GAF thought that Americans were pretty only limited to Miracle Whip for mayonnaise. I can't even remember the last time I had miracle whip. Reminds me of American Cheese and Margarine: some kind of frankenstein concoction. If a fly doesn't want to eat it, I definitely should not eat it.

Regarding fish, if you don't live on the coasts or the great lakes area, it isn't that popular. Either get it flash freeze dried or pay $25 a pound for fresh fish.

Down in Cali there are tons of Indian places with decent all-you-can-eat lunch specials. Usually there's dhal and a few veggie curries that are quite nice.
