More french fries. Then 1 lb of ground pork sausage, a layer of melted cheddar cheese, a half pound of hash browns, a dozen scrambled eggs, a layer of melted swiss, a pound of bacon, some more french friends, a layer of melted mozzarella, and top it with a tiny American flag. ---

If you put a side of Ranch I think I’d die (not from the heart attack). If I weren’t at work right now, I’d rush out and buy all that stuff and proceed to kill myself, and end my diet…😃 ---

[Cheese curds and gravy](http://www.yrth.net/insects/poutine.php). Much tastier than it sounds ! Or salt, vinegar and ketchup. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Broodha \* > **Salt, Pepper, Cheese, Ketchup, Mayo, Mustard, Salsa, Grape Jelly…** That, my friend, is one hell of a combination. Ranch dressing and pepper, thank you. If no ranch dressing is available, salt and pepper. ---

salt, vinegar, ketsup, brown sauce, BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, honey mustard, Mac sauce, vanilla ice cream (as a dip), chili, curry sauce, mushy peas, baked beans _NOT_ necessarily at the same time, mind 😃 **cowgirl** I, too, enjoy cheese curds (not available in the UK though sadly), but only by themselves. I call it _squeeky teeth cheese_. My dog used to love them too, but with the squidgy texture she didn’t know whether to play with them or eat them. ---

I just like good plain ol’ ketchup on my fries. I also like to put seasoning salt on them, and I wish more restaurants would make it available. I’ve actually thought about bringing with me a container of my own seasoning salt when going out. Ranch sauce is also good, but I don’t go out of my way to get it for my fries and will only use it if I get it with something else, such as chicken strips. ---

Well … I do like yummy cheesefries with bacon and sour cream but they tend to be a lot of work and lots of calories… When I make fries at home I usually dip them in applesauce 🙂 ---

Depending on if it is available or not I will mix chinese hot mustard and ketchup to dip my fries in. That is quite heavenly. Practically anything that you can top a baked potato with also goes well with fries: bacon (the only place I will eat pork), all types of cheese, sour cream, chives, and ranch dressing are to die for too. ---

Salt and mustard. I don’t put mustard _on_ french fries, though, I dip them in it. ---

Honey. The fries must be salted first, then drizzled in honey. Pure heaven!! ---

I suppose it depends on what I’m eating them with: Burgers - ketchup Fish’n’chips - malt vinegar & sea salt Steak - Peppercorn sauce alone - brown gravy and cheese curds (_otherwise known as “poutine”…mmmmmmm!_) ---
