Recent example: I ate (and enjoyed greatly, and had again) a nutella-and-roasted-pepper sandwich. The roasted peppers were all garlicky and balsamic-vinegary… mm… Congratulations. You’ve managed to make me gag. :eek: :mad: Thats just… ughh… Thats like mixing cheese, ketchup and chocolate into a blender… 😛 ---

I have never ever ever dipped my fries in my chocolate shake…however, I’ve often been tempted to. I may do it next time I have some, now that I know that it’s not a product solely from my own warped mind. 😃 ---

I’ve never heard of dipping fries in a shake. Is it a regional thing? Sounds like it’s worth a try, though. My ex-wife got me hooked on dipping fries in mayo. ---

Eeewwww. I’m from New York/New Jersey, and I’ve never even _heard_ of dipping fries in any sort of dairy product. Are you _sure_ it’s not a regional thing? ---

I like dipping my fries in my chocolate shake, but for whatever reason, I only like to dip a couple. It seems too rich for me to eat more than a few that way. I think the appeal is the sweet/salt combo thing, sort of like how chocolate covered pretzels are so good. ---

Fries + Shake/Malt/Frosty = Yum. It doesn’t matter what flavor. I’m all over it. (But ranch dressing, flavored mayos, tartar sauce and cocktail sauce work too.) ---

Try sausage pizza dipped in ranch dressing. The cheaper and nastier the pizza, the better. \*That’s \* a California thing, taught to this Midwestern girl when working at a concession stand. Yum! ---

> [@SlickRoenick](#): > > No way mate! I dip all sorts of stuff with fries, but never something dairy. Then you’re in luck! A Wendy’s Frosty doesn’t contain anything close to milk! I don’t know what it is, but salty fries and chocolate Frosty just rocks! Kinda like the same sensation from a chocolate covered pretzel. I also use a ketchup/mayo combo for fry dipping. ---

You’ve never heard of cheese fries?!? I absolutely do. The best is with a chocolate malt (preferably from a Winstead’s in Kansas City). People underestimate the power of any salty-sweet combo (chocoate-covered pretzels, candy corn mixed with salted peanuts, fries with shake/malt, etc.). ---

I’m a sweet-savory fan but I have never done this. I feel deprived. ☹ But there is a Wendy’s on my way to work… ---

Ideally, the shake is strawberry! Also, fries dipped in applesauce are good. . . ---

> [@JavaMaven1](#): > > I also like vanilla ice cream with pretzels. > > Don’t look at me like that. I’m pregnant. I can get away with it. 😃 I’ve never had a wee one, but I’ve eaten icecream (choco in my case) with pretzels since I _was_ a wee one. I have only ever eaten chips (fries) with mayo; I also like to dip crisps in mayo. ---

Ordinary shake, no. Frosty, yes. Mmmmm. Not only does it taste good, the warm fries soften the Frosty enough to get it through the straw. ---

Nope, not regional, AFAIK. Lived in NYC my whole life and I have TONS of friends that do that. Personally, I like dipping them in a nice chunky Blue Cheese dressing, myself…Yum! 😃 ---

The wife of a good friend also dips French Fries in mayonnaise. She also weighs in excess of 300 lbs. I sense a causation effect. ---
