A LONG while back we were discussing what people put on their fries, or chips.
Kibby was talking some kids in her class about that, but could not remember what the different things were. Especially the one called "The Works." She wanted to know if anyone could remind her what all was on it. A picture would be good.

I have no idea. When I went to school in England I developed a taste for vinegar on my chips (french fries).

Ketchup
Mustard Mayonnaise Cheese - any variety you want Chili Chopped onion - works well with cheese, chili, or both Garlic powder - just a touch, especially with cheese, chili, or both Chunky salsa Ground beef, your choice of seasoning, to go in cheese of your choice. This is all I could think of on short notice. Any combination of the above that sounds good. Personally, I like the little skinny fries like Steak 'n Shake has. For those who don't know about Steak 'n Shake, it's your loss, "and that's all I have to say about that."

Red wine vinegar, though; not white. At least that's what we used in fish & chip shops. Darn, now I want fish & chips!

The works is what we call "Fries at war", that comprises fries with warm peanutbutter sauce (satay sauce), mayonnaise and finely chopped raw onions.
Then ther is "fries special" in which the peanutbutter suace is swapped for ketchup, there is a newer variation in which the kwtchup is swapped for curry sauce. For a picture go here and scroll down http://thealexanderharmsen.com/2013/...issing-out-on/

What gets me is that most often, there's no soy in soy sauce. Some brands yes, but most brands use wheat, not soy. Why is that?

Maybe because it has become a generic name for any kind of sauce that is dark, asian (or at least has an asian label) and tastes after soy somewhat?

I put mayo on mine, sometimes. I live in the US, and I think this is considered a little strange to most other people in the area.
Someday, I want to go to Canada and try poutine.

Strange? Oh no!
I remember taking some American students, who were visiting London, out to an "Old Kentucky Pancake Kitchen". They all ordered mayo sandwiches! Claimed it was "home cooking!"

I have a lot of friends that put their Maccas fries on their burgers... I don't like fast food burgers but they claim it tastes great.
