Most places up here will put mayonnaise on your hamburger.



Sometimes I still forget to say "No Mayo"

Is it Holland where they put it on french fries?

There are a few European countries where that’s common. I was introduced to tartar sauce with fries in Seattle a long time ago and it’s now become my go-to.

Atlantic Canadians put gravy on their fries.
"Poutine"

Yes! Yes! Let’s hear it for Poutine! Except it is NOT just fries and gravy - they also put cheese curds on it!

Look it up. You will be amazed.

Poutine must be an acquired taste. I've had it several times, no interest in trying again. Had the mayo in Europe, nothing special. For fries, either ketchup or the Brit way with vinegar.

I'm trying different condiments now, trying to reduce my sodium intake. Apparently the only way to do that is to "Make my own."

When I was very small my grandmother made her own mayonnaise. When I was about 20 or so I asked her to make some. She sent me to the store for the ingredients. A quart of Wesson corn oil, eggs, lemons, & paprika. There may have been a couple of others. First step was to put the Wesson oil in the refrigerator so it would thicken. Then she whipped it together. It was OK, but seeing that it was ~ 95% oil spoiled it for me. Sort of like seeing hot dogs made.

Not so much here; a hamburger normally comes with mustard. Now if you order a cheeseburger, and want mustard instead of mayo, you best tell them.

And speaking of salsa, if anyone here raises their own tomatoes and peppers, try this:

2 cups chopped tomatoes
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped mixed red/green and hot/mild peppers to taste
fresh garlic to taste (a clove or two)
Mix, and add WISH BONE ORIGINAL ITALIAN DRESSING, with gentle stirring, until the mixture is saturated.

Set it out with a bowl of tortilla chips and stand back! It's a guaranteed hit; be sure to make enough!

I've made it once. The first step was to heat the eggs to pasteurize them.

I tried one of the Chik-fil-a "world" famous chicken sammiches 15 years ago... My first and last; wifey doesn't like them either. Pretty good breakfast biscuits though.

I bought a sub sandwich franchise years ago. A side business.

In one of the trade magazines they mentioned that mayonnaise is the #1 condiment in the US. I would have bet on ketchup...

As a business owner i can tell you that greasy stuff ain't cheap and many customers asked for more and more!

Is it Holland where they put it on french fries?

Do you still have it? Do you offer ketchup?
I ordered a cold meat sub from our local Subway. I asked for ketchup and the attendant looked at me like I was crazy. He said they have never had ketchup.

I haven't eaten at Subway for years and never really had a reason to ask for that condiment when they did. Apparently it's not something they keep on hand though... although I don't think your life should be in danger for simply asking for it.

Ketchup is the Budweiser of condiments.

That’s not a compliment.

How else can you eat fries???

This Buds for you.

Your grandson will need therapy from watching people getting shot on TV and video games. Hopefully he can overcome the world today. Hopefully your 14 year old grandson has had other vaccinations by now. Does a 14 year old get to select his medical treatment? When I was a kid, my parents took me to the Dr. for shots and I did whatever the Dr. told me to. I guess I didn't realize there were options.

Same.

Yesterday the wife and I took the pilgrimage to the cathedral of the coveted chicken sandwich. Fifty miles one way, $12:00 and a bit of a wait in line and we were in possession of two of the sacred Chic-Fil- A sandwiches and 1 medium diet soda. The soggy granny's elbow skin bun on this creation was disappointing to say the least. The condiments consisted of 2 paper thin dill pickle slices and 1 little plastic container of yellow baby poop something or another. This place opened several months ago with huge fanfare and long lines as documented on the local news channel. What is the big draw with this place anyway? I will not be going back anytime soon!
It was good to see people's faces again with the lifting of the mask requirements in many stores we went to. It looks like the vaccination program of two presidents have had a positive effect on society. Now they want to have 12 to 18 year olds get the shots too. My 14 year old grandson has a mortal fear of shots so that probably won't happen, Why do the news cast have to constantly show people getting stabbed in the arm with baseball bat sized needles getting their shots? It makes me look away and I have no fears of getting shots. My grandson will need therapy for PTSD from seeing these people getting their shots. Is it just me?

When I was a medic, I used to kinda relish stabbing guys in the butt with a big ole penicillin shot for a social disease for visiting the local ***** house. Think I'd be more kind today.

Jalapeño cream white gravy is delicious on anything including fries.

Sounds great - but I’m afraid it alone would be more calories than my recommended daily intake!

I like fries with chicken salt and gravy, OR, Tomato sauce. (is that ketchup?)

 

[bunyip]

I hate chicken salt yet every fast food place uses it, ketchup and tomato sauce are a bit different, my favourite is the locally made MON tomato sauce, we avoid KFC, sloppy greasy excuse for food, mcdonalds not far behind with big name pizza franchises running a close third.

I never heard of chicken salt? Is that what is in the Morton’s blue box?
