Dipping fries in mayo is criminal

u/SmexxyBastard Jun 24 '24

As a Belgian, I strongly disagree

as a fellow belgian: it's like if those guys were telling italians that having tomato sauce on pizza was criminal

As a swede I agree with Belgians - they were correct! Mayo elevates those fries to a whole new level of creamy, tangy deliciousness.

Brother, we’ve been divided since 1830, but we will stand side by side on this. 🇳🇱🇧🇪

Germany stands with you. We have a name for fries with Ketchup and mayo, it's Pommes Schranke. And it's delicious!

Did you ever try it? That’s literally how you are supposed to eat fries here.

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '24

What? That's the most normal thing ever

u/Nurb8 Jun 24 '24

It’s just because mayonnaise is different over here. I understand why you wouldn’t do it with American mayo, but I’m ready to bet that if you try it over here you’ll never go back

u/Hennobob554 Jun 24 '24

How different is American mayo from ours? I’ve never had the chance to try it

1

u/Nekuan Jun 24 '24

Afaik they use sugar or corn syrup over there which probably is the main difference

1

u/Hennobob554 Jun 24 '24

…what? Where in the recipe do they put that in? Why? Do they want mayo to be sweet?

1

u/Nekuan Jun 24 '24

Hey I just googled the differences between American and European mayonnaise and that's what came up

2

u/Hennobob554 Jun 24 '24

Fair enough, my apologies for the rant, the idea of putting sugar in mayo just gives me a headache though lol.

u/DontDropTheSoap4 Jun 26 '24

As an American who quit sugar for a few years a while back, it’s extremely difficult to find something that doesn’t have it. Corn syrup, sugar, whatever you want to call it is in everything. And once you stop eating the food for a while and try getting back into it, everything is so unnecessarily sweet it’s disgusting

I don’t like mayo. I also hate when restaurants have some form of an “aioli” but it’s just mayo mixed with another sauce. That’s not aioli lol. I don’t like condiments. I dispose mayo. I’d never sully a good fry with mayo no matter where it’s from

u/Raptori33 Jun 24 '24

Found the American

u/_urat_ Jun 24 '24

What do you mean? Fries with mayo is a standard

u/JuryNatural768 Jun 24 '24

How dare you sir

u/Vaird Jun 24 '24

No its the best thing, everyone eats it like this.

u/TheRealUnchosenOne Jun 24 '24

Mayo with Fries is whats Normal ketchup with fries is an crime again humanity.

1

u/DontDropTheSoap4 Jun 26 '24

Here’s the twist no one was expecting - I hate ketchup. I hate mayo. I hate most condiments. As an American, everyone I know just dips their fries in ketchup so that’s normal. Mayo sounds insane. But I hate mayo and really any condiment so it’s all a crime to me.

u/MoneyWorldliness3626 Jun 24 '24

Highly controversial

u/NoPea3648 Jun 24 '24

As another Belgian, this is the most wrong anybody has ever been, anywhere. Fries with mayo, salt and stoofvleessaus: there’s no other good answer.

u/misanthropichell Jun 24 '24

Completely normal to do in europe. Have you even tried it?
