"One of the few fast-food chains which still prepares fresh potatoes on the premises is In-N-Out Burger."

No time for the old in-out love, I've just come to buy a burger.

EDIT: no, wait, apparently everybody invented them:

I'm happy to go along with them coming from Belgium, although I think there's a distinction to be made between fries and chips.

What do you chaps have on your chips/fries then? The part of the wiki article about condiments doesn't really say, and is obviously written by a southerner as it implies that it's a bit new and wierd of northerners and the Welsh to have gravy on chips.

mayonnaise is custom here, however, we have some proper mayonnaise, not the crap they give you in germany/holland.
personally, i prefer tartarsauce (with fresh onions in it)

What's the difference between proper mayonnaise and the stuff we (probably) eat?

Personally I like salt and vinegar, but I also like gravy, ketchup occasionaly, chili ketchup more often, and mayonnaise if I'm feeling continental.

Gravy when it's an option, mayo when it's not potentially fatally made on the premises in the kebab shop, most commonly tomato ketchup as that's usually all there is.

mayonnaise here is made of:
-the yellow stuff in eggs
-oil (no olive oil)
-mustard
-lemon
-pepper & salt

i don't know what the mayonnaise in britain is made of, but in holland and germany they add stuff like sugar and chemicals to it.

RANDOM FACT: women can not make mayonnaise if it's that time of the month

that's pretty much the case in commercial stuff here I think.

I might go and make some mayo to see the difference, not sure i've ever had proper stuff

I might try and find some proper stuff - the Tesco healthy living mayo we've just run out of had the consistency of semen.

Also, are women unable to or simply not allowed to make mayo when the painters are in? Or am I missing a euphamism?

Ketchup usually, salt and vinegar as well if they're from the chippie. Pie and chips with gravy is also nice but not had it for a long time.

Post by **Dog Pants** » January 19th, 2007, 14:14

I once went to a rather expensive chippy in Bath where I had some very sweet chips. I figured that was what expensive chips tasted like until I noticed that the salt was in extremely large grains. Large geometrically shaped grains. Looking very much like sugar.

I ate them anyway.

i have never actually seen this happen, but several women, including my mother (who makes mayonnaise on several occasions) , have told me this.

The only sauce that can go on chips is curry sauce, it wins the world.

I found this: http://www.snopes.com/pregnant/menses.asp

Apparently the ingredients in the mayo will not mix properly and it'll curdle if a menstruating woman has a hand in preparing it.

i guess i'll have to witness it for myself, in order to check the validity of my statement.

Has anyone else here noticed the strange French Fries, Mayonnaise & Movie reference here?

Vincent: You know what they put on French fries in Holland instead of ketchup?
Jules: What?
Vincent: Mayonnaise.
Jules: Goddamn.
Vincent: I've seen 'em do it, man. They fucking drown 'em in that shit.

That had vaguely crossed my mind, but I knew they weren't talking about Belgium and then I forgot about it again.
