Try dipping your salty fries in a mayo/ketchup combo. YUM!!

I will do no such thing!!!!

yes, it's wasting mayo

[Peace Of Mind]

LOL at thinking this was about picky eaters only to learn it was about defiling perfectly good food and gross weird eaters. 

**snort** at "eaters". 

[Sum Dum Gai]

mayo/ketchup combo... yuck.

Hot salty fries are the best with some vinegar and hot sauce sprinkled on top, and a bit of ketchup if you're into that.  Not drowning in it though, just a drizzle.  Mayo should never come anywhere near a french fry.. like ever.

That Panera grilled cheese might be okay. I had one and it was pretty gross. Although I will say they screwed it up and all the cheese was not warm and melty.

Hot fries dipped in a Wendy's chocolate Frosty is heaven.

LOL.  I still do that too.  Only at Wendy's though.  It's not the same anywhere else.

And tater tots, I think there is a law that tater tots must be eaten with ketchup.

I saw a FB post for "Tatchos," nachos made with tater tots instead of tortilla chips. I have to admit I was intrigued............

No ketchup! Ketchup only goes on hot dogs and meatloaf.

Ketchup on hot dogs is revolting unless you're 8 years old or younger.  Ketchup is for potatoes.  That's pretty much it.  I'll grant you meatloaf, but it's better with a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce.

I'm 8?! 

[swamp]

and mayo belongs on fries.

As does cheese, chili, bacon, sour cream, and ranch dressing. Or gravy.

You say that like you're shocked.

All at the same time??

not the gravy.   but the rest, yes.

gravy and cheese is good too.  and you can toss in the bacon. 

[Sum Dum Gai]

Fries with cheese, chili, bacon, and sour cream (a very little bit please) don't sound awful.  I'd be putting hot sauce on mine, not ranch dressing though.  Ranch with chili sounds revolting.  Fries with some melted cheese, a little bacon, and the ranch dressing, maybe.

[imawino]

How could you even distinguish a flavor out of that massive pile of goo?? Why not crumble some pop-tarts and squeeze a lemon on top? Blech!

Are there no lemon pop tarts? I think I will invent lemon pop-tarts! I am going to be RICH!

 I just discovered I can get them in the hospital cafeteria. I had that for lunch yesterday and Monday.  

It's really good and normally I'm not a huge fan of ranch.

Brown or white gravy?

Lemon would be nice on the strawberry pop tarts. They're awesome but maybe a little too sweet. Squeeze a little lemon on top and not only would they be a good sweet/tart combination, but you could call them fancy pastries as well. Win/win.

Go post your fancy recipe on Athena's facebook wall.

I like sweet potato fries dipped in honey mustard dressing...

[saveinla]

I like my fries dipped in a combo of ranch dressing and sriracha or any hot sauce.

brown, preferably turkey gravy.

not a fan of cheese and brown gravy though. that's just weird.    and chili cheese fries are just awesome.

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

Gravy and cheese on fries = poutine.

Man if I keep reading this thread my grocery list is going to be the unhealthiest list in history.
