It is awesome....but no, I usually alternate between the two.

Nothing. I eat fries plain. But I admit to being a picky picky eater food wise, and use no dips or sauces for anything.

What! no gravy, curry, marinara?

Unnecessary embellishments on the glorious spud, chipped, fried, lightly salted and sprinkled with malted vinegar.

Ooh, this

Malt vinegar is a yes, try adding a good biting mustard as well.
Further seasoned with salt, pepper and a little ketchup.
And as said in post #1 washed down with a good ale.

The ale is surely a given.

Salt and vinegar 100% of the time for sure, supplemented by tomato ketchup ( red sauce) 95% of the time. Just about the only time the red sauce won't appear is if they are being consumed out of a paper tray at the seaside, which is a shame, because then they will also be covered in scraps, and we all know that scraps and ketchup are a match made in heaven.....!

Just got back from dinner in Hiroshima......the kids were fascinated by a Japanese chap a couple of tables away whose dinner seemed to consist of a plate of home made, English style chips, which he proceeded to eat very delicately with chopsticks. He had a precise, rather bizarre routine which consisted of firstly dipping his chopsticks in his beer (Asahi Superdry), then picking up a chip and dipping it in his beer, and then in a saucer of ketchup before eating it. After swallowing, he took a sip of beer, then the whole routine started again. He was so precise and consistent, it was like watching a programmed robot, and he timed it perfectly so the last chip was followed by the last drop of beer. I gotta say, I love this country......it has to have the best "people watching" in the world

Use white vinegar, if it is available (usually not) or ketchup or sometimes just plain if they are really crispy.

Heston B's triple cooked chunky chips with homemade aioli and chilli jam and a glass of wine

Ketchup. If they're sweet potato fries ketchup occasionally mixed with a little peri peri sauce.

Why white vinegar? It has no flavour, it's just diluted acetic acid.

I caught on to my friends idea of ranch and ketchup.

Here is a very american (maybe this is a michigan) thing, which people tell me dont know until you try it, dipping fries in to frosty's or milk shake *gag* there are somethings I really do draw the line at!

Now I have a weird craving for chips with chip shop curry... thanks

I know people who put ranch dressing into mashed potato's. It tastes alright but I prefer gravy.
