Now that’s just not right.
Fries should be eaten with mayonnaise - try getting that in a fast food place. If I insist I can sometimes get a single packet of mayonnaise or maybe even two. As far as I can tell there is no way to stop a burger joint from throwing 4-5 packets of catsup into every order of fries. Saying “no ketchup please” actually causes some burger employees brains to short out momentarily which just holds up the whole line.
If we all throw our ketchup packets into the drive through lane to be run over and spurted everywhere, then maybe someone will notice.
Mayo on fries makes baby Jesus/Buddha/Mohammad/Shiva/Richard Dawkins cry.
Why do they put ketchup in such small packets, anyway? I would think the tiny savings from the few people who only need one small packet would be offset by the high packaging cost. Even if I’m just eating a sandwich, I’ll often use more than one.
Tell them to stand back then, I don’t need the extra salt on my fries with mayo.
I eat mayo on my Chic-Fil-A waffle fries. 
No, no, no. Mayo goes on the sandwich. The waffle fries need to be dipped in the Chick-Fil-A sauce that comes in the little tubs. Were you raised by wolves?
Wuh-huh? Chic-Fil-A waffle fries are awful. Use your allotted calorie intake[sup]*[/sup] on one of their shakes instead.
I can tell my work in this thread is never going to be done.
[sup]*[/sup]Okay, nobody has enough allotted calories for a Chic-Fil-A milkshake. But still, nummy.
The waffle fries aren’t bad, IMO. They’d be better with the red relish that Fuddrucker’s had many moons ago, but we have to work with what we’ve got.
But I agree on your evaluation of the inherent yumminess of their shakes.
Well, in the spirit of trying to meet in the middle here, Chic-Fil-A fries are probably okay if you can catch them in that brief window between too-hot-to-eat and too-cold-to-enjoy. All fries have such a window, but this is an especially acute problem with C-F-A’s waffle fries for some reason. And of course you are correct about keeping them away from mayonaisse; in that way lies madness.
Mwahaahahhaaahahhaaaa! I have some on the way right now! And also some nuggets. Which will likewise get a mayo bath before ingestion.
Heretic! Nothing, nothing may sully the divine perfection of the Chic-Fil-A sandwich. Who are you to allow some condiment to compete for space with the holy pickle trinity in its place of honor atop the most sacred chicken? I’ll see you at the auto de fe.
What I hate is the tendency to put extra condiments on to “compensate” for your asking for one to be left off.
My wife doesn’t like dill pickle. In certain places “no pickle” needs to be accompanied by “normal everything else” if you don’t want a burger thoroughly drowned in ketchup, mayo, and mustard.
Whatabirger has little cups of ketchup. I think it’s Heinz, too - the only brand I buy.
I don’t like pickles. Well, I don’t like pickle slices on my cheeseburgers, that is. So when I go through a drive-thru, I ask for a “double cheeseburger, ketchup only”.
After many, many years of research, I’m convinced that somewhere in the Burger King manual, the official definition of “ketchup only” is “The only thing the customer wants to taste is ketchup”. It took me awhile, but I’ve finally stopped special ordering. I’m going to have to open the burger and make adjustments to it anyway, and picking off a couple of pickles is less messy than trying to wipe off a eight ounces of ketchup.
Why when you order a burger and fries telling them no pickles lettuce or tomato, why do they always stick a pickle on top of the bun or a large dill spear on the plate to make a puddle that soaks your fries and hamburger? I said no pickle but you put it on the plate and ruin half my fries by soaking them in pickle juice. the last place that did this has been going down hill and I don’t like it anymore. The last time they gave me my burger in soggy Texas toast. So no ketchup anymore, fries swimming in pickle juice, and a burger in soggy Texas toast. I haven’t had input for choosing where the dinner will be, but it’s hit the point where I’ll just ask to be left at some store while they eat.
Bah! I’m definitely not Orthodox when it comes to chicken sandwiches. I like mine with mayo and a drizzling of Texas Pete hot sauce (which the local CFA has stopped carrying for some reason.)
On a slight side note: exactly what is Chick-Fil-A putting in their “BBQ Sauce?” Whatever it is, it’s vile.
You’re correct. However, when I go drive-through I eat right away in the car and can’t handle the extra machinations of dipping. Real burger place fries with mayo? Heaven.
When I was 12, one of my friends turned me on to a 1 part ketchup/1 part mayo mix which I use on anything fried to this day.
mmmmmmmmm
It looks like a pile of bloody pus, however :eek:
:: raises hand ::
I have a question.
When you look at the little ketchup packets, invariably they always say “Extra Fancy” on the label.
I mean, I’m all for decent style and shit, and just having “fancy” ketchup seems to be just a step above the “normal” ketchup–I consider it a treat. A nice touch, like a mint on a pillow, if you will. But then there’s “extra fancy” ketchup. Like, just what makes it “extra” anyway? Do they add some more lycopene to the mix? Is it some extra dab of salt? Do they infuse the blood of the nonbelievers into the thing?
Normal ketchup is good enough for me. What’s with the “Extra Fancy” shit?

Besides, I prefer BBQ sauce on my fries with a little salt and pepper.
