We're a strange breed! Proper chips are the best. | Scraps make the fish and chips ten times better.  Mell Mell Post Count: 15468 Msg: #22 9 weeks ago, November 5th 2009 | Here is how to make the Hot Curry Sauce that is often served with chips, bought at Fish and Chip Shops in Ireland, so Shane and Jon can make it, instead of being deprived. :) | Stir some flour into water and put in a cooking pot. Add some onions, a vegetable stock cube and curry powder. Then heat, while stirring to prevent lumps of flour forming. Then pour over the chips. Here in Germany the curry sauce to go with the French Fries comes in a bottle or packet and is squeeqed onto the French Fries cold. Curry ketchup is also available in the supermarkets for the French Fries.  The Travel Camel Shane Dallas Post Count: 1070 Msg: #23 9 weeks ago, November 5th 2009 | Okay, Mel - thanks for the recipe - I just need to buy some coleslaw (it is one thing I do not make) and I'll have my curry & coleslaw fries experience. It won't be as good as the real thing in Ireland, but it will have to suffice for now. | Mell Mell Post Count: 15468 Msg: #24 8 weeks ago, November 6th 2009 | I feel like making the same thing, but my deep frier gave up a few weeks ago, so I will need to buy a new one, before I make more French fries. :( |  Nomadic Dreams Laure and David ( ld! ) Post Count: 20 Msg: #25 8 weeks ago, November 6th 2009 | In Texas, french fries come with barbeque sauce (and ketchup too), YUMMY!!! :o) | [Edited: 13:35 - Nomadic Dreams ] Mell Mell Post Count: 15468 Msg: #26 8 weeks ago, November 6th 2009 | In Estonia, I saw they were most often served with what looked like creamy tomato salad dressing. I didnt try them. |  Two Canadians Eh Trevor and Kristena vs. The World Post Count: 49 Msg: #27 8 weeks ago, November 7th 2009 | Mmm sweet potato fries! We make them all them time at home in our oven (because they're just as yummy as regular fries and better for you). Just buy a yam from the supermarket, cut it up, drizzle with olive oil, add a little seasoning and enjoy! :D | Poutine ... ha ha, SO Canadian; I love it! So bad for you, but super delicious! And New York Fries is a franchise, it can be found in almost any shopping mall food court across the country. Definitely the best "fast food" fries out there! :D Mell Mell Post Count: 15468 Msg: #28 8 weeks ago, November 7th 2009 |  Mmm sweet potato fries!

So bad for you, but super delicious! French fries are never good for you, so might as well do it right and put all kinds of bad stuff on them. Cheese, fatty cholosteral loaded sauces, plenty of salt..... ;) The Travel Camel Shane Dallas Post Count: 1070 Msg: #29 8 weeks ago, November 8th 2009 | Here is my humble first effort of French Fries with Coleslaw and a Curry Sauce. | Whilst the French Fries were in the oven (I prefer it to frying), I prepared the sauce as per Mel's recipe suggestion in message 22. It was the first time I've ever tried a warm curry sauce with French Fries, and it will not be the last! It is great that such a simple meal can be so tasty :-) Mell Mell Post Count: 15468 Msg: #30 8 weeks ago, November 8th 2009 | Look great Shane! :) The only cirtisism I would have for it, is that the the portions are too small. ;) | The Travel Camel Shane Dallas Post Count: 1070 Msg: #31 8 weeks ago, November 8th 2009 | I thought so too when I finished the meal - there should have been more! | Mell Mell Post Count: 15468 Msg: #32 8 weeks ago, November 8th 2009 | Well, your waistline will thank you at least. :) | Mell Mell Post Count: 15468 Msg: #33 8 weeks ago, November 9th 2009 | A handful of grated cheese would also be good on that coleslaw. We often to that in Ireland, with meals such as the one you photographed in msg 29, Shane. :) | [Edited: 07:23 - Mell ]  Rat on the Road Kris and Kate Post Count: 449 Msg: #34 8 weeks ago, November 10th 2009 | Here in Vietnam they serve chips (the chunky kind the Shane made, often crinkle cut too) with dark soy sauce. It's surprisingly delicious. | There is always sweet chilli sauce on the side too.  elisedeneubourg Elise de Neubourg Post Count: 1 Msg: #35 8 weeks ago, November 11th 2009 | Did you all know that French fries are actually from Belgium? Why are they called French fries? | Mell Mell Post Count: 15468 Msg: #36 8 weeks ago, November 11th 2009 | Probably something to do with history and politics. Was there a time when France dominated everything that went on in Belgium and claimed it as their own? | But, are you sure French Fries are actually just Belgian? Frying potatoes seems like something everybody in the world is likely to do, even without inspiration from France or Belgium. But, that takes us back to the question of why they are called French Fries, rather than World Fries, or even Belgian Fries. :D dexternicholson Dexter Nicholson Post Count: 56 Msg: #37 23 days ago, December 16th 2009 | Normally it will just be catsup from where I am at right now... there are no chillies or some variation... its ok but everytime I would get myself some fries, I would get some smoothies and dip it in for some sweetness. |  Barramundi Byron Ash Post Count: 18 Msg: #38 17 days ago, December 22nd 2009 | If french fries were a sin, I'd be eternally in hell. @_@ | The curry and coleslaw combo is something new to me, but I'd certainly try it out since curry is another sin of mine. xD Here we only have it plain, crispy, soggy, with salt, with salt and pepper, with pepper only, with ketchup/catsup, with mushroom/chicken/beef gravy or mixed with onion and sweet potato fries. @_@ Personally, I dip it in my sundae or in spaghetti sauce. It's just versatile! 38 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | Number of Users: 15 | Number of Posts: 38 38 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
