I've posted some weird stuff under "Falcon Foods", but this tastes really good. I'm not even joking. If you dip potato chips in ketchup, it tastes like french fries.

I've never seen them anywhere else, but in Canada they have ketchup flavored chips. They're delicious. I can only eat one or two at a time because the flavor is so strong though.

That's interesting lad because one is a fried piece of potato and the other is ...... well, a fried piece of potato.

Salt and vinegar for me, please. I remember my astonishment one day when, on a roadtrip to Buffalo from BG we stopped not far from Erie, Pa for some gas and found salt and vinegar potato chips in stock! Salt and vinegar potato chips in the early 1980's - in the USA!

Speaking of chips, I like to soak my french fries in vinegar. We're not talking a dribble of vinegar. I mean a thorough soaking with malt vinegar. I don't mind a bit of ketchup to augment the flavour either.

I like chip "butties", too. It's a Liverpool thing. 2 slices of cheap medium sliced white bread, buttered, and neatly filled with french fries, doused in salt and vinegar. Mmm. Probably a good idea to use a crust for the bottom piece - takes longer for the vinegar to work its way through the butter and dissolve the bread. Here's a cross section of a chip butty I have just made with ketchup to give you an idea what its all about, Freakling1:



Not bad, huh!

Cheese and onion potato chips are very popular around here, but as keen as I am on a nice chunk of granary bread, extra mature cheddar, and some sharp pickled onions, I just can't see how cheese and onion potato chips work.

Don't ever let anyone ever put you off what you like to eat most, Freakling1. You only live once, and when it comes to food, its never for long enough!

One of my friends brought them down every weekend as he went to Canada to teach drum corps. They are amazing...if you like ketchup like me!

Shhhhh! Anybody hear that? What is it? Oh, yeah, the sound of Zom's veins closing down.

Hey little Freakling, this is not weird at all, not this time! I've dipped chips in ketchup many times...good stuff.

Hey guys I think I've seen the ketchup potato chips in gas stations around here before, but it was only the small bags in gas stations, never seen them in stores. You may also want to look up the Burger King brand chips. They have ketchup powder on them too (they're supposed to taste like BK french fries & ketchup).

Oddly, h20ville, chip butties taste best after a day in the mountains. What you do is pop down from the Llanberis pass into Llanberis itself, call in at the famous chippie that the region's mountaineer's and sundry outdoorsmen wax lyrical about, and get your order in.

To deal with the unfortunate long term health consequences you so sensibly point out, you pop back over the Llanberis pass (by car) and call in at the lodge for a couple of pints of bitter which takes care of furred arteries just fine. That's how it pans out, anyhow. If it was my decision, I'd head straight for the lodge. Democracy is not always a great thing.

Good fries + apple cider vinegar = awesome

Good call, Zom!

Cider Vinegar? Hmmm...I've always used malt vinegar for fries.

Either way probably works well...

I saw that in a vending mechine in a hotel in Huron when we stayed there for my Great Uncle Kenny's 50th birthday.

I am a strong advocate for nothing on chips but salt...unless they're wavy, then you can use a chip dip. I don't know how many of you are from Lorain County but if you are you know that Thomasson's Potato Chips are where it's at. As for fries, when I was in Ireland I was introduced to putting mayo on fries and that was pretty good. I hate vinegar...all of it...I like ketchup, ranch or a little mayo and that is all...unless we're talking chili cheese fries, duh...and I like Fresh Cut, none of the frozen crap you get at Micky D's or BK!

When it comes to french fries I have but one glorious word: POUTINE

I've never tried poutine, but always been intrigued by it. I absolutely love cheese curds, and think they'd be a very welcome addition to french fries. Problem is that I don't like that cheap powdered brown gravy mix, which is what I'm guessing gets put on top at most places.

The dish has potential if you have good gravy, though.
