what dipping fries or nuggets in mayo is yummy!

 

[spuckthew]

It's very common in Belgium, homeland of fries, but not really in the UK

I see it all the time in London, but London is a multicultural metropolis. I've grown to actually prefer it over other dips now , especially if flavoured with a bit of garlic or Dijon.

 

[Taker666]

Quite right to...here's the reason you won't get it in the UK-

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

ITT people from the US have never had Brazilian fries. Fries + mayo is actually pretty good,

fries + mayo are belgian fries.

Stock up people

 

[Jisgsaw]

If it's so common why is it not a dipping sauce at McD's?

It is in civilized countries like France, Belgium, Germany and most of Europe.

What's with the people in this thread who have never watched Pulp Fiction?

That's the important question...heathens

 

[ReAxion]

curry obscure?

 

[LizardKing]

I'm American and have seen multiple people dip their fries in mayo. I wouldn't call it common, but I wouldn't call it unheard of either. It is actually pretty good. Even better when you mix sriracha or ketchup with the mayo.

Fry sauce is mayo and ketchup.

 

[frankie_baby]

Burger king do sachets (or at least they used to, not been in ages)

Thats prawn sauce

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Thats prawn sauce

Prawn sauce has horseradish in it doesn't it?

Fooking prawns.

My fry sauce is to mix mayo with this:

 

[Jaeyden]

The majority of mayo is made from that. Even packet stuff. Homemade has a creamier consistency, though.

Yeah but they often also have stuff like sugar or corn syrup added, potasium sorbate and oddly enough use rapeseed oil or soybean oil. I guess my personal gold standard of store bought Mayo is Hellmans/BestFoods in a jar. In the jar it is canola based but in the bottle it is soy based. I'm assuming for texture? I can definitely tell the difference between the two tastes though.

 

[Lagamorph]

Because Mayo is garbage tier which ruins that which it touches.

 

[Alrus]

McDonalds' mayo is kinda gross. Too much sugar in it.

I have never heard of it, but the Google results look pretty damn good.

Depending on where your from Aioli doesn't really mean the same thing.

American Aioli is pretty much a mayonnaise with lemon as its acid for some reason.

Actual Aioli is tons of crushed garlic emulsified with oil. (as the name would suggest)

 

[Glass Shark]

People in the US (and I guess the UK) generally think it's gross to dip your fries in mayo, but I love it. When I visited Eastern Europe and mayo was readily offered as a condiment at McDonald's, I felt like I was with my people.

 

[Faiz]

Thats prawn sauce

Prawn sauce has horseradish in it doesn't it?

Most prawn or cocktail sauces contain horseradish, yeah. Some however are based on a mixture of ketchup and mayo. Even those, however tend to go a little beyond the basic ketchup+mayo that is fry sauce.

 

[dh4niel]

Gross. BBQ sauce for life.

Hell yeah. Mayo is trash.

 

[Firemind]

France, Spain and Italy also don't have it I believe. Not sure why this surprises you.

 

[TheCthultist]

I think the idea of a mayo dip just made me throw up a little...

Mayo isn't a "dip" in the USA either. It's a condiment but generally used as a spread

I can barely even use it as a spread, but yeah, thats the way I've always seen it applied to food.

 

[nvrndr]

People don't dip their fries in mayo?!

 

[MayMay]

wat the UK does not have mayo at McDonalds? smh

That's standard here in Germany


Edit: WTF is with all the ppl weirded out at the thought of dipping fries in Mayo??!

 

[RunningRiot]

There's a burger joint in my area that makes jalapeno mayo dipping sauce. It is god tier with their fries fried in truffle oil.

 

[Diprosalic]

Well it's hard to beat a 20pc. for $4.99.

lol, they cost $18 here

 

[Blue Ninja]

I feel your pain, OP. Y'all don't know what's good. Fries and mayo is the shit. We've made that stuff into an artform.

Cocktail and andalouse are accepted substitutes. Then there's sweet mayo, which is even better. Fries with ketchup are heresy.

Belgium is a divided country in many ways, but we'd go to war for our fries and mayo.

 

[King_Moc]

One of many reasons that Burger King is better.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

I'm from the UK and I dip my chips in mayo too, once you try it there is no going back.

 

[Tagyhag]

This thread makes me embarrassed to be an American, how can people be so ignorant? Lol

Mayo with fries is fantastic.

Where is the outrage? They have the most obscure dips like curry sauce, but no mayonnaise. The fuck.

Curry sauce dip sounds delicious.

 

[afroguy10]

What are you talking about, curry sauce isn't obscure as a condiment. We have loads of stuff with curry sauce here.

Didn't know we didn't have mayo though, mayos pretty popular for dipping here as well.

 

[azyless]

Spot the americans who've never tasted good mayonnaise.

That said I think McDonalds just has something against mayo because even here in France they tend to give me some weird, vaguely béarnaise sauce when I ask for it.

 

[kudoboi]

Curry sauce dip sounds delicious.

Curry dip for McNuggets is extremely popular in South East Asia. There was even an outrage a few years back because the sauce went out of stock. I would have assumed US mcd had it considering the curry dip is made in US

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Hot Curry going off the menu and now only that sweet shit is the real crime.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Go next door to KFC.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Cuz mayo is the worst condiment

 

[RangerX]

Curry sauce is obscure? What?

 

[cyress8]

You'll just have to plan ahead:

It even has fries on the bottle. Amazing.

 

[mf.luder]

They just started selling it at my local grocery store. Big Mac sauce and mcchicken sauce.

 

[Guevara]

No mayo but they have curry sauce? I'm starting to understand Brexit.

 

[ghostmind]

Canada has it covered: http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1354679

 

[His Majesty]

From brief research this seems like a European thing, actually. Belgium, Netherlands. I would have bet anything it'd be Florida or Wisconsin or something.

Can confirm. Here in Belgium mayonnaise is the most popular sauce for fries.

heaven

I'm guessing he's not from the UK.
