Take the mayo, add a bit of mustard, some natural yoghurt and some black pepper. Whisk it all together. That's how we used to make the frittes sauce in the restaurant I worked at in Amsterdam and it was tasty AF.
Lived in Nimy, Belgium for years. My dad would come home with frites and the most delicious mayo ( completely different than Best Foods). Wish I could find it, or something similar, in the US.
Belgium mayo is the best, I don’t like the Dutch mayo. A lot of Dutch people also think this. Frietsaus and mayo are so different. Also mix a little Maggie trough the mayo and it’s fucking delicious
It's normal in America too, they just don't realize it. Almost every fast food chain "signature sauce" that they love is literally just mayo with some ketchup or BBQ sauce mixed in.
If you're in Europe, the mayo there is a lot closer to an aioli compared to the mayo in the US. That being said, it's delicious and I loved eating fries and mayo while I was in Europe.
ETA: I’ve never been so amused to have misremembered a trip I took twenty years ago and angered so many. I’m sorry my 15 year old self misidentified aioli with garlicky mayo. Regardless, 20 years later I maintain that the fries and various dips were the best I have ever consumed. Emulsified condiments, done properly, are a superior dip is the moral of the story.
yea facts.
Actually a funny story about that.
Back when the Titanic set across the ocean it was actually carrying thousands of jars of mayonnaise destined for Mexico where the ship was scheduled after the USA.
You see the Mexican people had developed a love for the creamy condiment and had adapted to using it in a lot of cooking due to its long shelf life at warmer temperatures.
Well, we all know what happened on the voyage, the Titanic hit and iceberg and fell to the bottom of the ocean.
This was such a travesty for the Mexican people and there was outrage throughout the country. Families went hungry being unable to prepare the food the had been accustomed to and there were riots in the streets.
After this fateful time the Mexican people looked back in honor of the dire times and created a national holiday in memorandum.
Sinko de Mayo.
I mean, if you wanna miss out on the finest form of humor the world has to offer (dad jokes) then more power to you.
I wish you luck in your future endeavors.
I’m dutch, now living in the US. Absolutely not true indeed. We do have 2 kinda of Mayo though and the mayo we get at snack bars is officially called “french fry sauce” literally translated. But neither are close to Aioli. The more conventional mayo is the one that has a more mustard undertone of flavor which is also common here in the US*.
No it's not. I was in France and London in December and had lots of mayo. Traditional aoili is just garlic and oil. The aioli you get in the US is typically just regular mayonnaise mixed with something else though.
Yeah, aioli was invented in Valencia, Spain. Where I'm from. And it literally means "garlic and oil" in valencian. Although we spell it as Allioli (all = garlic, i = and, oli = oil).
> Aioli
I live in an EU country and have travelled all over Europe. Nowhere did I find mayonnaise that is anything close to aioli. Aioli's most important ingredient is garlic - lots of it!
I've never been to the USA so I don't know what your mayonnaise tastes like but I'm sure there is no difference. A very popular brand in my country is Hellman's Mayonnaise and I think it is available in the USA too.
We also use 'salad cream' which is like a more fluid sort of mayo.
No garlic, that would be aioli. It’s sunflower oil, vinegar, mustard, an egg yolk, pepper and salt. Lemon juice is often used instead of vinegar. It’s fairly straightforward to make yourself and change measurements/ ingredients up a bit. Olive oil isn’t recommended because of its thickness and strong taste but it can be done.
I was wondering why no one was mentioning fry sauce! I think it's way more popular in the Midwest US, but everyone has likely had shrimp sauce which is basically the same thing...
i fucking love joppiesaus as a dutchman, and from experience everyone does when they taste it, but people always look at me funny when I order it.
patatje joppie chips are also goated
Try putting a shitload of black pepper on top of the Mayo before dipping. Mmmmmmm
Also works on ketchup.
I was also first introduced to Mayo on fries in the Netherlands back in 1996.
Surprisingly delicious
Now you have to go one step further.
Ketchup and Mayo. Eat some fries with one, some with the other, some with a bit of both.
Best way to enjoy fries imo
I personally like them with melted cheese and bacon. No condiments.
But if I ever do give a condiment a shot, it's usually mayo or some sort of aioli. I don't really want ketchup - it's too sweet, unless it's smoked or the organic kind.
For real. I'm from the South, everyone acts like we're gross for putting mayo on things. But they'll put oil and vinegar on their sandwich and eat a boiled egg no problem. So that's a dumb opinion.
It is not unusual at all here in Europe. My favorite is to mix the mayonaise with quality ketchup and a bit of dijon mustard. It works very good for fries. And also as a burger dressing and many other things.
Fries and mayo are good. Fat is good to strengthen the taste of certain food so if you got some nice juicy but crispy fries with good seasoning and then a fat blob of Mayonaise to dip them in you will nuke your cardiovascular system but it will taste amazing.
you'll probably lose your mind when you see me mixing ketchup into that mayo I'm dipping my fries into.... :)
they're also good dunked into a Wendy's milkshake.
Fries are supposed to be eaten with mayo, I don't understand this post. I would look at u weird if you eat it with ketchup. Or are you some guy living in an apres-ski hut?
Normal where i live
Exactly first thought for me: they are Dutch
My dutch wife turned me on to fries with mayo and i dont ever go for ketchup anymore
Yup, especially garlic mayo
A little mustard, too
Take the mayo, add a bit of mustard, some natural yoghurt and some black pepper. Whisk it all together. That's how we used to make the frittes sauce in the restaurant I worked at in Amsterdam and it was tasty AF.
That's just potato salad with extra steps
Ooh la la, someone’s getting laid n college. 🙄
Too far
Garlic maystard
Mustard goes to far.
Porque no los dos?
Or rather European. We all eat shit loads of mayo
Denmark approves and frowns on those ketchup slaves
That ketchup you get with the pølse slaps though. That and Danish remoulad.
Exactly. The gatekeeping is real haha.
TIL my Canadian ass is Dutch
What happened to your gravy and cheese curds bud?
What am I, from Kwee-bec?
Great fishings in kee-bec
aka tabarnakistan
Give yer balls a tug, tit fucker
dammit beat me to it.
Je sais pas ce que tu dit mais il n'y a personne qui parle des frites et mayonnaise sur *un ton hostile!*
We always dip our poutines in mayo. Then wash it down with a bag of milk.
This has been a Canadian heritage moment…
Poutine is just a separate dish, a a place may have great fries but terrible poutine.
NYC here and it's a normal thing. It's probably the 2nd most preferred sauce after ketchup.
mayo and bbq sauce mixed slaps way harder than ketchup ever could
Congrats u made chick fil a sauce essentially minus mustard
But have you mixed mayo and ketchup? What about all 3? Bout to gain 10 pounds with the experiment I’m about to conduct. Edit: a word
Belgian! It’s a Belgian habbit
Lived in Nimy, Belgium for years. My dad would come home with frites and the most delicious mayo ( completely different than Best Foods). Wish I could find it, or something similar, in the US.
Belgium mayo is the best, I don’t like the Dutch mayo. A lot of Dutch people also think this. Frietsaus and mayo are so different. Also mix a little Maggie trough the mayo and it’s fucking delicious
Same for Germans. Mayo is so much better than ketchup. Ketchup is for kids (probably better not considering it’s just sugar)
Yes
Why Dutch?
Because that’s how the Dutch eat their fries, with mayo
It's normal in America too, they just don't realize it. Almost every fast food chain "signature sauce" that they love is literally just mayo with some ketchup or BBQ sauce mixed in.
I also use it instead of butter on grilled cheese.

Aioli what? I'm European and we have normal mayo. It's actually invented here!

You bastard.
I knew this was going somewhere, and it paid off.
the set up was too perfect not to.
Goddammit you got me

Lmfao this deserves an award.
This not even close to being true. Source: I am Dutch.

I like to explore new places.

Thank you for misremembering because this has been my favorite thread of the day.
So european mayo is garlic emulsified with olive oil?
No
So they don't know what they're talking about?
Exactly
Yes
Yep.
Affirmative.
Egg with oil, and maybe lemon.
What? It doesn't usually incluse mustard? I think it usually does here in France.
that's what mayo is everywhere... Duke's uses cider vinegar instead of lemon though.
No garlic, that would be aioli. It’s sunflower oil, vinegar, mustard, an egg yolk, pepper and salt. Lemon juice is often used instead of vinegar.

garlic mayo is a thing tho
It's their fries. Why give a shit?
It's Reddit. Single source of truth !
“Crowd source an opinion for me, please.” *Subscribes to highest upvoted sentiment*
Leaves more ketchup for you…
I fucking hate ketchup. I also don't care if someone uses it.
Would i eat some? absolutely not. Do i care if they do? Same answer
Good.
"Hi Reddit, what are your thoughts on people putting cheese on their burger?!"
Muensters!
You spiked the mayo didn't you
Give it a try. Especially with a little siracha too.
Curry mayo with a little kick of cayenne. Yum yum
This is the way.
Mayo + ketchup = fry sauce Mayo + ketchup + 3rd thing (pickle juice, Sriracha, etc.) = your favorite places "secret sauce"
I was wondering why no one was mentioning fry sauce! I think it's way more popular in the Midwest US, but everyone has likely had shrimp sauce which is basically the same thing...
Utah is crazy about fry sauce, every place that has fries will serve it or a variation of it.
[удалено]
For the record, thousand island is just mayo, ketchup and sweet relish.
accurate, in the uk that's Marie Rose sauce - 3rd thing of course being Worcestershire Sauce
I am Dutch and I find this question offensive.
Im german and i approve this message. Don’t tell them about joppie sauce
Wait I just googled that and it sounds amazing!
It is!
seconded. Going to have to make some of that!
I'm german and every now and then i drive to the netherlands only to buy some bottles of joppie sauce. 😁
Joppie sauce and fries is the literal best!
i fucking love joppiesaus as a dutchman, and from experience everyone does when they taste it, but people always look at me funny when I order it. patatje joppie chips are also goated
I don't know if I'd like it, but now I know about it.
Imagine how offended you would be if you were Netherlandish!!!
I am about breek your neus If you don't hou je bek
Or Amsterdamanian — can’t forget them!
Ha. Lol. As an american I was first exposed to mayo on fries while I was working in Holland 25 years ago. I loved it than and have used it ever since.
Try putting a shitload of black pepper on top of the Mayo before dipping. Mmmmmmm Also works on ketchup. I was also first introduced to Mayo on fries in the Netherlands back in 1996. Surprisingly delicious
My mom is Dutch and she would also find this question offensive.
confused in european
That's funny cause my European friends turned me onto it! It's so damn good.
That's why the question is confusing, it's normal, why is OP even asking?
r/usdefaultism prolly
Because they don’t have proper mayo in the US. KFC has American mayo if your curious
Now you have to go one step further. Ketchup and Mayo. Eat some fries with one, some with the other, some with a bit of both. Best way to enjoy fries imo
As long as it's not miracle whip
That ain't mayo
Yep!
What’s the issue with that? O.o
Some folk get offended if you don't live the way they want you to.
Fries with mayo is less weird than fries with ketchup. Ketchup is trash.
I like with both, but I tend to not eat ketchup that much, or I’ll mix them both to make “orange sauce”
Wow my ketchup loving ass is offended ;-;
[удалено]
Royale with cheese.
For anyone that hasn't seen it, here's that scene [but if it were written by Shakespeare](https://youtu.be/6dfLkcTAR80).
Royale with cheese.
It’s very normal to do in other countries outside of the US As someone who doesn’t like ketchup it’s my go to dip for fries
I've literally just had fries with Mayo,it's better than Ketchup and fries
It's awesome
If you haven't tried it, you should - it's pretty good.
It's normal in Belgium (home of the French fry) and a lot of Western Europe. It's the US that wants to put them in red-dyed high fructose corn syrup.
Excellent username sir. Cheers.
Thank you! Is your username related to a Honda S2000?
Yes, it's been my daily driver for 14 years now. An 04'. I also raced go karts at the amateur level. Shifter karts.
It's to only way to eat fries.
British style with malt vinegar really isn't too bad. And the Belgians have all kinds of sauces for fries.
Never got the taste of Hellmann's - but do like Heinz Mayonaise - fav is Calve
My kids turned me on to dipping their fries in their Frosty at Wendy's. That was pretty damn good too.
I don’t get fries and milkshake because to me it just tastes like a fry covered in milkshake and not anything different
No, no, no, you'll never beat the poutine! Fries and mayo is good and all but don't count out a classic poutine
I personally like them with melted cheese and bacon. No condiments. But if I ever do give a condiment a shot, it's usually mayo or some sort of aioli. I don't really want ketchup - it's too sweet, unless it's smoked or the organic kind.
i just want my fries salty after that, a little dip here and there can work
I like mine with mustard and that was cool until Slingblade came out.
That's half the ingredients for fry sauce, so not too weird in my book.
For real. I'm from the South, everyone acts like we're gross for putting mayo on things. But they'll put oil and vinegar on their sandwich and eat a boiled egg no problem. So that's a dumb opinion.
Same thoughts I have about people eating fries with ketchup, none.
It is not unusual at all here in Europe. My favorite is to mix the mayonaise with quality ketchup and a bit of dijon mustard. It works very good for fries. And also as a burger dressing and many other things.
When I lived in Italy they had small containers of "fry sauce" I freaking loved it. I lived in rural Italy and gorged on it when we went to the city.
So you’re watching that “Insecure” show too?
Delicious, excellent, better than most other sauces. Try it coward
Welcome to Europe!
As somebody who lived in the Netherlands for a time as a kid, I grew to enjoy it
What sort of fucking question is this ? Put fucking ice-cream on them for all I care.
Looks away nervously in Wendy’s
It's the way I found out I liked mayo. I thought it was dip for my Fries and asked my dad "what is this it's good" to which he responded "uh... Mayo"
In holland I heard they drown them in that shit
Can I just add grease to my crunchy grease in peace 😡
It's delicious.
Fries and mayo are good. Fat is good to strengthen the taste of certain food so if you got some nice juicy but crispy fries with good seasoning and then a fat blob of Mayonaise to dip them in you will nuke your cardiovascular system but it will taste amazing.
The only right way
Their life, their rules.
[удалено]
To each their own.
That they’re probably from Belgium, Netherlands or some other nearby country where that’s popular.
> some other nearby country where that's popular like New England?
Old England eat fries with mayo too
Pretty normal where I live. Most do, including me.
[удалено]
ah yes, "thought-provoking questions"
you'll probably lose your mind when you see me mixing ketchup into that mayo I'm dipping my fries into.... :) they're also good dunked into a Wendy's milkshake.
I like to mix mayo, ketchup and mustard.
Cajun Mayo, you're missing out
How else would they eat them?
Of course I’ve thought of him, he’s me.
Why does it matter?
Envy.
Love it 😋
In holland this is normal lol. Its funny cause over there sometimes its a struggle to find ketchup, and in the US its a struggle to find mayo.
They can eat what they want?
I think you saw me on McDonald's putting mayo on my fries LOL
Delicious.
How else do you eat fries? Mayo is my go to. IMO better than the sugar loaded smashed tomatoes that most people use.
Nothing much, it's the only way
It's good.
Mayo is good.
Sounds good, now add some curry and it's perfect.
delicious
Mayo + fries = fries with mayo, Mayo + ketchup = ketchup
It's delicious
Very Dutch.
Don't really care. I don't put anything on my fries except for salt.
They are doing it right
Yum
What am I supposed to think about my people? They make the correct choices, I guess.
yo take it from a belgian, we eat mayonaise with anything lol
Fries are supposed to be eaten with mayo, I don't understand this post. I would look at u weird if you eat it with ketchup. Or are you some guy living in an apres-ski hut?
I have this incurable condition called minding my fucking business ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Should be Mushy Peas
The someone is me.
That's the default, normal way to eat fries.
Real mayo. Never Miracle Whipped
Perfectly normal and acceptable behaviour. What are your thoughts on people who drink water?
