A Canadian person posted it on the internet. | It looks like the enemy of those wanting to achieve the bikini body. :D But I certainly wouldnt knock it. Looks delicious! The Dutch version of it(my boyfriend is Dutch) would be french fries with mayonaise, curry sauce and raw onions. In Ireland(where I come from), a favourite is french fries with hot curry sauce.  The Travel Camel Shane Dallas Post Count: 1028 Msg: #3 149 days ago, July 1st 2009 | I think french fries are the best comfort food out there. It doesn't matter what country you are in, there is always a good version of the meal somewhere. Also, I find the blandness of the meal is great if my stomach is starting to perform a few tricks. | There are some interesting variations, for example in Taiwan, they use sweet potatoes instead of what we'd normally have in Australia (amongst others) - and it has a very different taste. Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #4 148 days ago, July 2nd 2009 | Does anyone reading this like mustard on their French Fries? A peruvian girl told me they put mustard on their French Fries in Peru. | There is a place in Munich train station where I often buy French Fries. As well as Mayonaise, Ketchup and curry sauce there is also mustard available. I never put the mustard on, because I am not so sure about how good that would taste.

But poutine is an amazing comfort food coz its all sloppy and its got cheese and lets face it the best meals have got cheese hahaha | Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #7 145 days ago, July 5th 2009 | When I lived in Toronto, Canada I used to go to a place that served hand made French Fries. I loved the melted cheese sauce they served to dip them in. I used to order the biggest size which was probably intended for a family, and eat it all myself. :) The place was called New York Fries. Do you know that place Rachel? I highly recommend it, if you havent tried it yet. | [Edited: 08:49 - Mell ] rlmuk RACHAEL MULLENGER Post Count: 10 Msg: #8 145 days ago, July 5th 2009 | No i dont think i have tried that one ... where abouts in Canada is it or is it a national chain?? | While i was there i stayed in Toronto ... Waterloo/Kitchener ... Montreal mainly. Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #9 145 days ago, July 5th 2009 | The one I went to was in the Eaton Shopping Center in Down Town Toronto. But, they are probably in a lot of places. I think it is a franchise store. | rlmuk RACHAEL MULLENGER Post Count: 10 Msg: #10 145 days ago, July 5th 2009 | yeah i know where you mean now ... i went to the eaton shopping centre a few times while i was there ... the food courts were just vast compared to anything in england!!! | The Travel Camel Shane Dallas Post Count: 1028 Msg: #11 144 days ago, July 6th 2009 | In Aleppo in Syria, they served a french fries shwarma - just think of a normal chicken or lamb one, and replace it with french fries! The best thing was that it only cost me about 50 cents! It was one of the best value meals I've ever had on my travels. | The photo on the right is the place I'm referring to - they served other shwarmas as well - but that french fries version will always live in my memory. [Edited: 11:14 - The Travel Camel ] Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #12 144 days ago, July 6th 2009 | In Ireland many of us like to put salt and vinegar on our French Fries. | The best places to get hand made chips(French Fries) with salt an vinegar on them, in Dublin Ireland are. 1. Leo Burdock's 2. Beshoffs I go to both of them, at least once every time I visit Dublin.

I have to be biased though! | In Ireland we put a lot of different things on Curry & Cheese Curry & Coleslaw Garlic & Cheese Cheese & Coleslaw Curry Cheese Garlic Coleslaw Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #14 22 days ago, November 5th 2009 | I havent yet visited McDonaghs in Galway. In fact it has been around 15 years since I was in Galway at all. Since you recommend it, I will try McDonaghs next time I am in Galway. :) | The Travel Camel Shane Dallas Post Count: 1028 Msg: #15 22 days ago, November 5th 2009 | Wow, Curry and Coleslaw - now that sounds like an interesting combination! Would love to try it one day! |  Vinovat Sudarynya Jonathan Campion Post Count: 694 Msg: #16 22 days ago, November 5th 2009 | Curry and coleslaw sounds delicious! No such luck for me in Ukraine: the standard is ketchup or mayonnaise, and occasonally dill. | J. Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #17 22 days ago, November 5th 2009 | Curry or Coleslaw, to be more accurate. Not so sure they would taste so good, with both on them. |  Stuart Stuart Morgan Hurlbut Post Count: 116 Msg: #18 22 days ago, November 5th 2009 | Where I'm from they are chips not French Fries and you can't beat Mushy Peas with your Fish, Chips and scraps! |  liliram liliram Post Count: 387 Msg: #19 22 days ago, November 5th 2009 | Back here, french fries are served with either ketchup/tomato or banana sauce, or a combination of ketchup and mayonnaise. With some salt too. |  ElAustraliano Paul Morrison Post Count: 188 Msg: #20 22 days ago, November 5th 2009 | Yes in Peru they use mustard but they will have 10 or 15 different sauces that they pile on by the spoonful. | In Australia we eat chips with gravy.Delicious 36 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | Number of Users: 13 | Number of Posts: 36 36 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
