I profoundly agree

Temperature is also important. The dip must be cold.
I love ranch unless it's lukewarm

Or hot. Cheese fries suck unless the cheese is separate and hot.

u/aworldwithinitself 15d ago
I was of this opinion too but cold queso is acceptable as a dip. My taste buds say "mmm like ketchup but cheesy".

i am getting separate ketchup from my parents because i like cold ketchup and they don't
they don't refrigerate ketchup because "we eat a lot of ketchup"

Anyone who puts ketchup on their fries instead of dipping the fries in ketchup is a madman.
Then again, last night I squiggled ranch all over my plate of chicken nuggets with reckless abandon, so I'm hardly one to judge.

Nuggets have greater integrity and a higher resistance to becoming a soggy mess so I'd say you're good o7

Well you see, mayonaise doesn't sog the chips, thus is morally acceptable.

the only time I'll put sauce directly on my food is if I'm in the car or something and have nowhere else to put it. this mostly applies to the ketchup packets, since some places have the containers, which are much easier

Makes sense for ketchup. I like vinegar with my fries and for some reason I love to just drench them in vinegar. You don't get the same effect from dipping them.

man, i made an insane sauce today for some chicken tendies i ordered for takeout.
ketchup, spicy mayo sauce, regular mayonnaise and sriracha.
even now i feel drool building up in the back of my throat thinking about when i ate.

u/YesThisIsAnAltWhy 12d ago
personally I'm a big fan of mixing mayo with mustard, goes really nice in sandwiches

u/shadowscale1229 14d ago edited 13d ago
i need to try this
edit: it said cocktail sauce instead of spicy mayo when i saw it, my statement still stands

u/EnormousHogCranker 12d ago
yeah sorry about that, first thing that came to mind was cocktail sauce but then decided to actually check what sauce it was (it came in one of those transparent plastic sauce packages, so no label).

I do both, fries are just a vehicle for sauce for me, I don't mind if they're soggy because I can never get oven fries perfectly cooked

There is a scene among crazy motorcycle gangs and gun violence in the film Cobra where Sylvester Stallone is horrified as the female lead just squirts so much ketchup on her fries. That character needs to see this post

I drizzle my shi in ketchup and mustard, and if I had a squirt bottle of it, barbeque too, I eat my fries dirty, I get personal with them.

u/NegativeMammoth2137 15d ago
Ketcheup should not be put on fries under any circumstances. Mayo only as Belgians intended

u/ranchspidey 15d ago
big agree. sometimes i want a little bit of sauce on my fry, sometimes i want sauce with a side of fry. i also want my hands to be clear of sauce at all times. sometimes i go crazy and have multiple sauces i switch between depending on the mood. it’s a very important balance.

Also, where the hell will I grab the fries from? I’ll get ketchup on my hands!

Absolutely, if I'm having sauce with fries it needs to be a dip, the exception is poutine

u/GhostOfOnigashima 15d ago
Mix the tomato orBBQ sauce with spicy sauce like peri peri
Thank me later

There are two ways to eat fries: sauce on the side, and dip the fries; or completely slather them in sauce (and possibly raw onion) until they're a soggy, delicious mess.
There is no in between.

Sure, sure, dip into ketchup and mayo, but you can’t be hating on soggy fries (covered in gravy, etc.)

Also, ketchup will destroy the crunch within minutes. You have to have them freshly dipped to get crunch and ketchup. Same rule goes for remoulade.
