what's your favorite thing to put on fries that isn't ketchup? (lemm.ee)

In Belgium: Tartare or Mayo. Andalouse for the gal, thanks

In the UK: Salt and Vinegar

In both cases: I will have to change seat if you plop yourself in front of me with your poor fries inundated by ketchup. Only the French do that, and it is a Casus Belli in my book.

But do you even get fries in the UK? I'm going to posit that chips are a different thing to fries. They're much thicker and potatoeyer.

I can’t speak for the UK but I believe the situation would probably be same as Australia. That is, there are a bunch of different ways to cut chips.

The thicker chips you mentioned are called steak cut chips.

The fries (thin, McDonald style) are called shoestring fries.

Long, not thin but not thick (best reference I have here KFC style, but don’t know if they’re the same in North America), would be known as straight cut chips.

@asklemmy @reallyzen casus belli for a simple meal ? :ablobcat_knit_sweats: @tilefan

On a des valeurs en Belgique. Surtout sur l'assaisonnement des frites, la hauteur du col de mousse de la biere, et le caractère optionnel d'un gouvernement de plein exercice.

Hahaha, l’influence de la Belgique est croissante en France. Depuis quelques années, on y boit des bières bien meilleures, la mayonnaise maison se généralise dans les restaurants de burgers et le gouvernement est devenu optionnel.

Politicians may remain employed ex gratia when a contingent of stern chocolatiers keep watch.

@reallyzen i admit, i'm quite envious, your government seems pretty cool. :)
