>>18619362
Fuck yeah.

no we don't

>>18619362
Huh? What’s wrong with it?

Is any food really specific to a place or culture anymore? I like to mix mayo with a spicy mustard for my fries.

>>18619362
pure decadence

>>18619362
Im not even european but I learned mayo was the superior topping long time ago, ketchup is a meme topping for kids and manchildren

>>18619362
of course, they have a superior taste for food

>>18619362
I used to think that people who ate frites with mayonnaise were mentally ill but if both the fries (fresh potatoes oven-fried in olive oil for example) and the mayonnaise (at least 80% SUNFLOWER oil) are high quality it's genuinely amazing.

americans that are used to mcdonalds fries and 60% soy oil mayonnaise will never understand what I'm even talking about lol

>>18619362
This alone negates anything Europeans can say about Americans being fat.

>mayo too spicy for muricans

>>18619580
>Pure fat on fried starch is avoided by Americans
>Europeans eat this and brag about it

>>18619548
Fatness isn'tt so much about what you eat, but how much you eat of it, retard.

Yeah, while I was in Germany I ordered fries for the first time from some Turkish dude and got hot, crispy fries completely fucking doused in mayo... just so they can become cold and soggy. I found out soon after that that was apparently "normal," and everyone there eats fries in this manner. It was extremely disgusting. Why do they cover it in mayo? I mean this shit was COATED, like when a fat fuck in line at Subway asks for triple mayo on their sandwich and the employee has to coat both the top and bottom of the sub in mayo, and when they fold the sandwich it all splooges out the sides. Why not just add a dipping cup on the side with the fries? It's not necessarily the mayo vs ketchup argument here, it's the fact that pouring gobs of sauce on fries makes them fucking soggy and cold, and makes some fries have a disproportionate amount of mayo on them while others have none. It's abhorrent and anyone who likes it is probably mentally ill.

>>18619548
yet we are still skinny... interesting!

>>18619670
It's because you're all poor and can't afford cars or proper portions of food.

>>18619548
aside from not being as fat

>>18619362
way to admit your shithole has terrible mayo

>>18619681
>It's because you're all poor and can't afford cars or proper portions of food.
This is not a car

>>18619728
No this is

>>18619362
Listen. All euroz eat pommes de frites. Some like it with mayonaise, some prefer ketchap, even some just settle with vineghar. In far away places they prefer remolade.
Just.Cope.

>>18619542
>SUNFLOWER oil
nice

>>18619902
I want a Hawaiian shirt with this as the pattern.

It’s actually not bad from a culinary standpoint either

The fat is balanced with the acidity of the mayo (same PH as ketchup). The best is a blend of the two though imo

I like the weird ones with peanut sauce and chopped onion

>he doesn't dip his fries in McChicken sauce

It's good man

>>18620011
There's nothing weird about the correct way to eat fries

>>18620047
what sex is this?

>>18620098
I'd try that. Really just goes to further demonstrate TUBER SUPREMACY, as long as the potatoes are cooked right with a crispy outside and fluffy outside.

>>18620114
We don't know the species yet so we can determin the sex.

>>18620122
>crispy outside and fluffy outside
*fluffy INSIDE fuck

>>18620098
this really is the supreme way to eat fries. Just the peanut sauce on its own is too funky for the fries but with the mayo it becomes its own thing. Real ones mix that shit together

>>18619666
>from some Turkish dude
And you dare complain you ate shit ?

>>18620207
It's like that everywhere in Germany retard, it doesn't matter if you're served fries by a European or a Turk. It'll still be doused in 2000 calories of mayo.

>>18619362
Yes and it's delicious. The fries are fried in beef tallow though so it might be an acquired taste for someone who's only eaten seed oil goyslop his entire life (you).

>>18620364
Nah the fries in Germany were fucking fire, bro. You just got some shitty ones.

>>18619362
They're Belgian fries and we do whatever the fuck we want with them. Hands. Off.

>>18619362
Mayo is made with mustard. Shut your hole.

>>18619424
>"topping"
Opinion invalid

>>18619542
You tried. Still no pickles. At least you tried. 6/10.

>>18619548
>>18619622
We eat them every day, twice a day in the weekend. With beer. Lots of beer. Stay mad or hit the gym, it's your choice really*.

*Disclaimer: no it isn't. Hit the fucking gym and love good food at the same time.

>>18620426
Zondag is frietdag moat, elken dag zaadolie slikken is gewoon triest

>>18619362
Yes, and as an Amerilard, I have to say--Since our food supply got compromised almost 45 years ago, European Frites are truly superior 95% of the time.
there are a few exceptions, but they are usually done in the style of quality frites to begin with.
>if only we would swich back to TALLOW for our fries

>>18620098
I've never heard of this but it sounds so fucking good.

>>18619728
>This is not a car
That's also a FUCKING LEAF.
(to be fair, Poutine is fucking good.)

How is it I had this once in my life nearly 30 years ago and I still remember and crave it to this day? I wish it was easier to find Belgian mayo here. I almost want to make it myself at this point

>>18620769
It takes literally 2 minutes with an immersion blender. Mayo is mayo.

>>18619362
There's no better condiment than mayo.

>>18619794
>d*dge
That's not a car either.

>>18620787
not even a top 5 condiment

I figured out on my own that mixing mayo and ketchup gives you the greatest fry dipping sauce known to man

it's annoying when a fry snack place also sells tendies but they only have meme fry sauces like samurai, andalouse etc.
but no ranch or honey mustard which are good sauces for tendies

Mayo on fries is God Tier. The thing is, you need real mayo, not the crap which most muttlanders call mayo.

>>18620980
If Condiments::Sauces
The Mayo is CERTAINLY one of the 5 MOTHER condiments.
Mustards
Ketchups
Mayonnaises
Chutneys and pickles(includes sweet relish and dill...)
5th?? Oil& vinegar? What??

I've poasted it multiple times before here and I'm going to do it again:
This is a multi-million dollar venture.
Any decent city, or even unpozzed suburb, set up either a small stripmall storefront, or a decent foodtruck with a bank of 8 fryers and a decent, adjustable syrup soft drink fountain that ONLY serves cane sugar fountain drinks, and fries and maybe a few other things fried in Beef Tallow. Potatoes are cheap, and you should be able to buy a decent fry cutter cheap. You wouldn't even have to charge the ridiculous 5G*Ys prices, people will find out, and beat a path to your window. you could even offer 1 free refill,(A simple permanent ink stamp would take care of the scammers,) and at $1.50/12 oz. and $2/16 oz.(sorry only sizes we got!) you will Still make a killing and people will be more satisfied since cane sugar DOES THAT. The Template for the fries is already well established:
Fresh cut, into the 257° oil for the first cook--Then, into the holding bin to rest.
Second fry--to order--at 350°
That's it...Change NOTHING.
Maccas used to have fries that were "better than sex" because even though they were cooked the first time and then frozen, they were finished at 350° in TALLOW.
Millions of Maccas customers were sorely PISSED when the conversion to PHSO(Blue bags of block shortening to Red bags,) and McDicks lost so much of their customer base from this, they eventually had to add a flavor additive to the oil to not lose even more of the market share.
Every other "High end" burger joint uses peanut oil, which is better, but is NOWHERE CLOSE to being as good, and the fries tend to get either a burnt flavor or are WAY too greasy.
A 5 gal. case of syrup is ~$90
~320 12 oz. serves.
~.25¢/cup (both)
there are several great cane sugar dealers, Boylan, Jones and Brix just for starters.
Of course you'll want an assrtmnt of condiments, 'Chup, Mayo, flavored mayos, and at least a decent cheese. but you'd have to fuck up BAD for this to fail.

I TREMBLE BEFORE THEE, THOU TERRIBLE TUBER

>>18620426
I have avery good Belgian friend and he has made me envious of your chip shops, they sound great.

>>18621417
And how much is the tallow gonna cost you? Where will you source and store it, since it's less shelf-stable than vegetable oil? Are you prepared to do more work to clean and maintain the fryers since tallow is mostly solid at room temp?

There are good reasons this isn't already done by some guerilla restauranteur. Tallow use in high-volume food prep is a nightmare compared to what they have oil-guzzling retards doing now.

>>18621455
>since it's less shelf-stable than vegetable oil
It's not.

Sourcing is probably the main issue. Volume will be too low for anyone to care to sell it at reasonable prices.

>checked
Ah, but this is TRUE for an amatuer.
>And how much is the tallow gonna cost you?
high end .29¢/oz.=$232.00/50lb block. There are lots of distributors LOWER.
>Where will you source and store it since it's less shelf-stable than vegetable oil?
In the fryers proper and back-ups in a simple refigerator.
>Are you prepared to do more work to clean and maintain the fryers since tallow is mostly solid at room temp?
Kek!
As I posted earlier--McDicks had NO PROBLEMS with it. I've worked with it as well.
the Veg shortening is solid as well at room temp. All filtering and change out takes place while it's hot.

>There are good reasons this isn't already done by some guerilla restauranteur.
NO, There fucking AREN'T. This is STANDARD at a TON of frites places in Europe.
The ONLY possible one I can think of is that it's FORGOTTEN here.
seriously, 10 seconds of searching and I found over 35 tallow distributors.

>>18619389
Because ewww... salt, oil, egg and vinegar with potatoes? That's totally degenerate.

>>18619362
think of it as a baked potato with mayonnaise. the best way to eat a baked potato is with mayonnaise and chives.

>>18621521
Could be based.
I think I'd go with a poor man's Aioli or a sriracha mayo over plain, but dammit--I'm going to try it tonight.
Not too much, mind.. But also CHEEESE GROMMIT!!

Echte friet bak je in paardenvet. Kanker apen

>>18621506
Your ambitions are noble, old man. It likely is forgotten knowledge here in the states, no thanks to the fast food cartels. Seems it's time to visit Belgium and study the old ways, then revitalize the sorry state of fry culture we have.

>>18621566
uhhhh...NO.

Haha I taught a couple Filipnios I worked with about this, they loved it

>>18621535
tell us how it goes

>>18620364
>It's like that everywhere in Germany retard
Everywhere in Germany you get asked if you want mayo or ketchup

>>18619548

Nice try hippo

>>18621370
didnt know that soggy fries were a turkish specialty, anon.

>>18619362
I threw up in my mouth a lil

>>18619362
Fried in tallow, good for you :)
Much better than American stuff full of seed oil

>>18621597
No we do not

Really fries with mayo?
how fat are you fucks?

>>18621535
I'm jealous of the cheese. It looks so happy.

>>18620426
You’re not going to stay slim by hitting the gym. I want to remain looking intellectual (not burly) and that’s why I exercise restraint (good for the mind too) as well as run, ski and cycle.

Is American Mayo different or something? It's just eggs, mustard, oil and vinegar, a tablespoon or so of mayo atop a portion of fries isn't going to be more than 400kcal.
Or maybe an American's idea of a "portion" of fries is too large.

>>18619362
Luv mayo on fries.
Luv alioli on fries.
Simple as.

>>18619362
Yeah.It's great

yes daddy please

Americans don't even have pie shops. Can you imagine?
