Then, there's the mustard with fries from Irvine. :beaten: :hehe:

Like I said it's a longstanding accompaniment to the traditional Belgian dish of steamed mussels and fries...it's rather good....as long as you don't overdo it. :sweat:

Not that you have to like it of course....I'm sure the Europeans may scoff at some of the gross, greasy f*ckin' shiet that Americans often put on their fries....in comparison mayo can seem "light" :beaten:

when fries are so smothered in ish that they become the healthiest part of the dish.....it can be lethal ^_^

Still no DSL: Moron service guy shows up today without notice... I wasn't home. :grumble: :grumble:

Starting to lose my patience. :shakehead:

You guys* on the other side of the big pond have really strange taste =T. Actually I rarely put mayo on fries, but I use a lot on sandwiches and burgers, also with cabbage and carrots as salad.

* - excluding Canadians.

Hmmm, maybe I didn't express myself right in english, sorry :sweat:.

No you're right, boris....Americans sometimes use slang to refer to the Altantic Ocean as the "Pond" which was derived from the British use of the word "pond" to describe the Altantic Ocean.

I forgot to add a few dozen " :hehe: " to my post.

actually Europeans do the same....if you've ever eaten the traditional Belgium dish of steamed mussels and fries they usually serve the fries with a side of mayo.

My European coworkers say it's not the same as the mayo found in the US, but is a different consistency and is usually flavored in some way.

Well, yes. I had it at Belgian restaurants in New York City...so the mayo in addition to other sauces was imported...in fact the fries are cooked differently...they were fried twice...once at a certain temperature, and then again at a another temp...which imports this especially wonderful texture so the fries are crunchy and not at all greasy.

must be some belgian magic......

I was hoping the discussion would've righted itself, but apparently the ship's captain is the ringleader. :P
