    Sea salt and malt vinegar. I am Canadian and it’s a thing.

      Same here. Not Canadian though, I just have good taste and a penchant to apologize. Sorry.

      yeah I’ve got a bottle of malt vinegar in the fridge because of my frequent pilgrimages to Québec as a child. is the sea salt larger grains?

        Slightly larger, not like kosher salt larger.

    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.

      Mayo + Ketchup combined, the classic “Rot-Weis”-combo in Germany.

      That or, preferrably, mayo + a good chilli sauce

      Mayo on fries is great. It’s also the Quebecois way.

    I haven’t seen anyone mention nutritional yeast yet, but that’s become my go-to seasoning for almost everything; popcorn, pizza, scrambled eggs, bread, ramen, soft pretzels, and of course on fries. So damn good!

    (Yes, I realize the name “nutritional yeast” sounds vaguely unpleasant and unappetizing, but I promise it’s incredible if you like savory flavors, and it can also be used as a cheese powder substitute in vegan recipes.)

      I put this only on popcorn but always on popcorn. Oh and sometimes in grits. So good in cheese grits, with cheddar, jalapenos and butter and salt. Way better than with just the cheese. So I guess only on corn.

        Yeah nothing ever came close to Parmesan for me. I’ll use yeast when its the only option at my vegan friends places but I’ll never be able to be truly vegetarian because of Parmesan

        True. But it’s the proportions of each that matter. And the type of salt and vineger.

        • Vinegar goes first because it gives the salt a sticking surface. Apply it when the fries are fresh so that it soaks in a bit better.

        • heavy on the salt before the vinegar has fully soaked in. Then toss the fries and add a little bit when serving.

        • Sea salt and Malt vinegar are the best, but any old salt and vinegar will do in a pinch.
