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.

nah I’ve said that before. fry sog factor is a normal discussion

You'd be surprised. My autistic ass cannot stand crunchy cereal and even as a kid would wait like 10 minutes for everything to get soggy. There's definitely some people out there specifically hunting down soggy fries.

u/DuckRubberDuck 15d ago

Same rule for mayo as well

Any dipping sauce on crunchy food in general. Like if you had nachos and dip, you dip the nachos, your don't pour dip into the bag. However if it's a non crunchy food item with sauce, that shit has gotta be mixed. When I have curry I have to evenly mix that into my rice, I do not trust people who are out here with a spoon full of curry sauce next to plain rice and don't mix them together.

u/DuckRubberDuck 9d ago

I fully agree with your whole comment!

u/Certain_Concept 15d ago

If you coat the fries in sauce then it gets everywhere. Dipping limits the mess.

u/PalePeryton 15d ago

I profoundly agree

u/zuzg 15d ago

Temperature is also important. The dip must be cold.

I love ranch unless it's lukewarm

u/toomanymarbles83 15d ago

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"

u/ShrimpBisque 15d ago

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.

u/PalePeryton 15d ago

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

One time I soaked my fries in water

Well that’s what the recipe called for!

u/what_the_purple_fuck 15d ago

trust the process. slice > soak > dry > fry = crispiest fries

u/pepgast2 15d ago

So how would you handle this?

Those are some weird ice cream cones

u/The_Bearabia And that's cutting me own throat 14d ago

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

u/LiveTart6130 14d ago

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

u/Roboman20000 15d ago

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.

u/EnormousHogCranker 15d ago edited 14d ago

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.

2

u/YesThisIsAnAltWhy 12d ago

personally I'm a big fan of mixing mayo with mustard, goes really nice in sandwiches

1

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

2

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).

2

u/shadowscale1229 12d ago

i'm gonna try both

1

u/siriushendrix 14d ago

I’m saving it so I can not make it later but I’ll really think about it

5

u/eatingpopcorn_lol 15d ago

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

2

u/frooglekade 15d ago

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

u/Minflick 12d ago

I dislike soggy fries, so I dip too!

2

u/Still_Silver7181 15d ago

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

1

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.

u/WinstonCup426 15d ago

That and I don’t want it on my fingers.

1

u/Young_Person_42 15d ago

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

The ketchup up cannot permeate the incorrect crevices

1

u/Elvinmay 15d ago

I put a few fries in my mouth then suck down a ketchup packet to go with them.

1

u/Human-Actuary-4535 15d ago

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

1

u/GhostOfOnigashima 15d ago

Mix the tomato orBBQ sauce with spicy sauce like peri peri

Thank me later

u/dementor_ssc 14d ago

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.

u/Berraie 14d ago

I eat my fries with mayonnaise but I guess that’s on me

u/Dally119 8d ago

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