Mayonnaise. :: shudder ::
Whatever happened to vinegar, as the gods of the snow intended?
Dude. You just failed at being Canadian. You need to go think about what you’ve done.
When come back, bring poutine!
(Though, I admit, a strong malt vinegar on fries can be damned tasty).
Miss Einighausen, have you ever been to the US or Canada? If not, we’d be happy to answer your questions about North America with bald-faced lies and misinformation. As another poster mentioned, we’re dedicated to truth and knowledge here - but only in Great Debates and General Questions, our fact-oriented forums. This is MPSIMS, which means our relationship with truth is a lot more fluid. Also, we post lots of cat photos.
I know a few people big enough to have a south.
You know those sexy French Canadians you like and who you want to teach you French? (I presume you like the sexy ones…). They eat fries with mayo. Get used to it 
Vinegar is acceptable in the absence of mayo (Miracle Whip is not even an option), as long as the fries are those thick, dark dirty ones you get in a paper bag.
Now I want fries…and thanks to visitors I’ve already had poutine twice this week (yesterday’s with pepperoni, onion and bacon La Banquise’s Poutine Dan-Dan… so good, but so bad!)
Oh, I eat fries with just salt. No mayo, cheese curds, gravy, vinegar, ketchup, or strawberry jam. Just salt. But I grew up with many people putting vinegar on their fries, and until recently it was one of the standard condiments at burger places and fish places.
The first time I was in Germany, I saw a woman eating french fries with a big glop of white stuff on it and assumed it was whipped creme. Imagine my surprise at trying to wrap my head around that!
However, once I realized what it was and tried mayo with french fries, that was the only way to go!
(I don’t really like french fries that much, but when I do eat them it is only with mayo!)
For those who find it odd to have mayo and potatoes together - how do you make potato salad?
I am sure Miss Einighausen is thrilled to know her welcome thread is becoming a discourse on condiments.
Are you sure you are from The Netherlands? From Maastricht to Schiermonnikoog is less than 250 miles.
In any event, welcome to the boards, Miss Einighausen. With you joining our ranks (ik kom uit Den Haag :D), I think the Dutch contingent is fast becoming the largest non-anglophone group on this board.
Dibs on The Dutch Contingent as a band name!
Also - Hi Miss E!
Also - mayo is the work of the devil. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
Travelling abroad, I found that if someone spoke English with a perfect American accent but wasn’t Canadian, then they must inevitably be Dutch. You guys must all go to spy school or something.
Canadians don’t speak American.
North American accent, if you prefer. Almost totally indistinguishable at any rate.
She may also be happy to know that after reading this thread, when I went out to lunch I tried mayo with my fries, in her honor. It was good.
Perhaps. I, for one, would like to commend the His Diabolitude for doing some fine work. All hail Satan!
Hello ** Miss Einighausen**. Be welcome. Enjoy your stay.
Carl(( French fried taters and mustard mmhhmm))
A little Slingblade
mmmm fries with mustard
Sadly, you’re a bit too exotically far. 
Yes we do! Delicious!
Ketchup, Dammit! 
Welcome Miss Einighausen. 
Not to North American’s, ay.
To be pedantic, North America does consist of more than just Canada and the USA.
That said, if we’re talking about US versus Canadian accents I think most people in both countries can often tell the difference.
Bolding mine.
Must be from the southern part of Netherlands. 
Welcome to the SDMB.
