Halftime Hope Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 7 hours ago, wathe said: Total tangent on the salty-with-chocolate theme: The scouts in my group have developed a taste for hotdog-water hot-chocolate. A recipe born from efficiency on the trail: boil hotdogs (because they can cook lots at once this way), then use the water to make hot-chocolate (from powder mix), so as not to waste water, and also not have to wait to boil fresh water. Sounds absolutely disgusting, right? But it's actually pretty good. The salt and oil from the hotdogs adds a certain umami and mouth feel to the hot chocolate that's really good! And it doesn't tast like hotdogs at all. Oh. My. Gosh. This sounds like something I have to start as a grandma thing. Holy, moly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halftime Hope Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Mayo is the condiment of choice in parts of Spain, too, or it was when we were there in 2008. I can't say it's something I'd rush out to try, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lulalu Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 In many countries I have lived or visited mayo and ketchup are given and people use both. They either mix them or take alternating bites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Several people have mentioned mixing ketchup and mayo. When I was growing up, when we ate fish (i.e., fried fish), we would make a sauce of mayo, ketchup, and a dash of both lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. I still do that, and it is good on fries or sliced and baked potatoes as well. Or as a salad dressing as an easy-to-make 1000 Island substitute. But to me, it has a very different taste than mayo with fries. It is interesting that OP asked this, because in the 40+ years since my college friend taught me about the mayo/fries combo, I have never seen or heard of anyone eating them that way--until a few months ago, we were camping with some friends, and they were talking about it and how they like it that way. The hubby is from somewhere in Northern Europe and the wife grew up overseas (from the US), so maybe they were brought up with that custom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popmom Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I don't do plain mayo on fries, but mayo based sauces like Zaxby's or Guthrie's sauce (chicken fingers) is amazing on fries. And I make a burger sauce that is a mix of mayo, sour cream, a little garlic...that's good on fries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 If your son would like to try other flavors of mayo, there is sriracha mayo https://www.amazon.com/Kikkoman-Sriracha-Mayo-Ounce-Pack/dp/B00VVOHSEU/ and horseradish mayo https://www.amazon.com/Kraft-Horseradish-Sauce-Squeeze-Bottle/dp/B003SI8X50/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaelAldrich Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) How about mayo on pizza y'all? In Japan and Israel it's a thing. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mayonnaise-pizza-dominos_n_2495421 Edited June 6, 2023 by YaelAldrich 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nearest Wendy's to me now is 2+ hours away but once in a blue moon, I get fries and frosty when traveling. I have spent WAY too much time thinking about this, but I have a theory as to why this is a thing. That mini-frosty that came with the kid meal melted FAST and if your parents were anything like mine, I was required to eat the "actual food" before eating the frosty. Setting aside the very real debate of which is more "actual food," the frosty, the fries, or the burger, that frosty sat melting while we tried to cram the burger and fries down. Soon melted frosty was oozing down the side of the cup, which is a TRAGEDY. So, we'd frantically (and stealthily) scoop up the melting frosty top with our fries to save it from the puddly fate growing around the base of the cup. Then developed a nostalgic taste for the combo. I feel like this is a dissertation-worthy question that someone, somewhere, should resolve!

Lawyer&Mom Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I love when fancy places serve fries with aioli. Which is just fancy mayonnaise. Just straight mayo? Not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsmith Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I chose yes, but I actually use mayo and ketchup. I don't blend them together though, which is why I don't just buy mayochup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
