Fry Sauce: a sauce for fries

Message Bookmarked

Fry Sauce: a coral-colored sauce made of ketchup and mayonnaise (sometimes with relish or horseradish sauce thrown in), not to be confused with "thousand island" dressing. I am trying to gauge a sort of sauce-o-gloss because I was under the impression this sauce was mainly an Idaho/Utah thing, but I may be mistaken.

The only commercial fry sauce product of which I am aware is called Some Dude's Fry Sauce, which has a terrifying label that looks like a massacre:

This sauce is made in Salt Lake, pretty much the heart of fry sauce country. Have you seen this sauce in grocery stores or restaurants? How far does this tangy sauce extend?

Buying this shit is pretty pointless since it's easy to mix ketchup + mayo, hello.

finally germans and americans can share a french fry condiment.

Wait, help, I'm confusing it with thousand-island dressing despite your warning.

(My, um, sauceogloss places me in the birth-state of T-I dressing. There is a fry shop a few blocks from me -- hold on, I'm looking at the takeout menu -- they have 62 sauce options, including Vietnamese pineapple, parmesan peppercorn and, wait, "especial: traditional European Mayo, ketchup, and onion"!)

Paul Eater (eater), Sunday, 7 May 2006 02:46 (nineteen years ago)

what's a fry shop?

indeed ... it looks the Manson Family Fry Sauce (taken right after they hacked up sharon tate)!

Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 7 May 2006 06:59 (nineteen years ago)

I reckon! Thats got to be the most bizarre label I have ever seen (is it unintentionally like that!?)

Also: I thought 1000 Island was mayo + tomato sauce. So how is it diff to this? Wiki tells me 1000 is dressing has other vege bits in it, but none Ive ever seen has more than maybe some herbs.

Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 7 May 2006 07:03 (nineteen years ago)

mayo+ketchup=marie-rose sauce (that crap they ruin prawns with [in the UK at least])

jed_ (jed), Sunday, 7 May 2006 11:03 (nineteen years ago)

Ew, that label seems like the man is slaughtering the kids or something. Absolutely EVIL.

Haha, I remember back in the nineties there was an ad on the Finnish TV about a new sour cream dip sauce. The ad went something like, hey youngsters, now you don't have go through the trouble of mixing dip sauce powder with sour cream, because we've already mixed them for you! You'd think even the laziest of teenagers has the energy to perform the enormous task of mixing the powder with the sour cream. Also, the sauce was called www.dipsauce.com or something, and they boasted that it was the first food product to have an Internet address name! I don't think it was a success.

With the help of the amazing potato, Pommes Frites will continue to join the ranks of other famous street foods and become a part of American culture.

"especial: traditional European Mayo, ketchup, and onion"

If you order "Pommes Spezial" in any German-speaking country, this is what you get.

How hard could it be to make your own?

The Jazz Guide to Penguins on Compact Disc (Rock Hardy), Sunday, 7 May 2006 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

There is no fancy skill involved, but there is a trick. The potatoes are fried twice. The first time they are cooked through. The second time provides a golden color and makes them deliciously crisp.

Isn't this how hot chips/fries are always made?

Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 7 May 2006 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

Yes.

Paul Eater (eater), Sunday, 7 May 2006 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

But with the French name, exotic toppings, and paper cupola-style serving, they cost $4 (small) rather than, well, whatever fries anywhere else cost.

Half-mayo/half-ketchup sounds like the perfect recipe to get Austin to throw up his guts.

You don't mix half-mayo to half-ketchup though. I think the perfect ratio is five parts mayo to two parts ketchup, but there may be local variants. If it's going with seafood, you can add lemon juice.

This stuff is called "burger sauce" in England, made with ketchup and salad cream (not mayo), and may be the only interesting thing to come out of Woking after The Jam and Martians...

The Lord of the Fries place I kept mentioning is actually wholly vegetarian, how cool is that? Even their burgers are. And they never made a big fuss about it, so kids wolf them down not even knowing.

one art, please (Trayce), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 23:47 (sixteen years ago)

That's fraudulent.

But not someone who should be dead anyway (Laurel), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 23:49 (sixteen years ago)

What is? The fact they are vegetarian? Its mentioned in their menus and things, its just not blasted as "hey we are a vegetarian business" specifically.

one art, please (Trayce), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 23:58 (sixteen years ago)

And, and and and, it is called LORD OF THE FRIES.

That is its name!

fillibustar superstar! (Abbott), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 00:08 (sixteen years ago)

I've never seen this Fry Sauce before, sorry. And I don't much care for the idea. The only thing fries should be dipped in is mayo, like the Belgians do it.

Earl of Gothington Manor (Bimble), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 00:14 (sixteen years ago)

I think Lord of the Fries is an awesome name!

I still dont get the fraudlent vegetarian thing though?

one art, please (Trayce), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 00:17 (sixteen years ago)

I have no idea how you can NOT realize that your food is not a hamburger. Or else burger chains have lowered the idea of a "burger" so much that it doesn't matter anymore? Still, can you imagine anyone who actually likes food just...not noticing that they're eating TVP and bean sprouts? I can't.

But not someone who should be dead anyway (Laurel), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 00:20 (sixteen years ago)

They're just little slider-style patties in a bun with sauce and pickle, and yeah theyre TVP and pretty damn convincing at that! I mean at this point I'm pretty sure most people know, but I have heard people express suprise it was not meat. Ppl are dumbasses though :)

one art, please (Trayce), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 00:24 (sixteen years ago)

NB these guys are a fry chain, burgers are just a side.

one art, please (Trayce), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 00:24 (sixteen years ago)

What is TVP?

fillibustar superstar! (Abbott), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 00:42 (sixteen years ago)

textured vegetable protein

Maybe I meant, you can extrude fermented and/or chemically modified cellulose into various fibers and plastics, is what I meant? I wld rather knit with this crazy fucking yarn made from soy than eat a tofu but I think I wld rather eat edamame than knit with this (particular) yarn.

Veg. :D

fillibustar superstar! (Abbott), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 01:38 (sixteen years ago)

I scoffed at fry sauce when I first encountered it but I have grown to love having it available at my local greasy burger joints. It's like a less aggressive ketchup.

People who are looking for cheese curds outside of America would do well to use paneer or, if there's no paneer, halloumi. People in America should make friends with Minnesotans or Wisconsinites, both of which border Canuckistan but inexplicably have no poutine culture.

suggest bánh mi (suzy), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 08:10 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah its disapointing that the only fry place here that even knows what poutine is (see above) does it with regular grated cheese. OK, good cheddar and gravy is nice! But I'm sure it isn't the poutine experience and dammit if I ain't gonna get to MTL one of these days and have me both some poutine and some Goldschlager shots.

one art, please (Trayce), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 11:11 (sixteen years ago)

The place in London does not do curds either. The mean-girl part of me wants to go there, order it, and send it back because POUTINE MEANS CURDS.

suggest bánh mi (suzy), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 11:17 (sixteen years ago)

poutine is revolting anyway. I thought it might be gross in sort of a good way. but it wasn't. just soggy chips and gravy and cheese curds. I didn't know why I was eating it. why would anyone? no mystery why nobody outside quebec has taken to it.

French fries, covered in cheese curds, covered in gravy, is something that exists? In actual restaurants? As actual items on menus? And not something your quirky uncle makes at family gatherings? The world just became more beautiful.

invitation to rabies (╓abies), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 11:42 (sixteen years ago)

Come on sonder how can you be unaware of the drunken 3am "omg this is AWESOME FOOD" scoff? I'm sure that's the point of poutine as much as it is the point of a drippy souvlaki or chili dog.

one art, please (Trayce), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 11:58 (sixteen years ago)

(xposts) Cuz dude it's FRENCH FRIES (delicious) + CHEESE CURDS (delicious) + GRAVY (delicious). It's basic flavor mathematics.
