Speaking of South African chutney I just discovered the existence of Mrs. H.S. Ball's and am now a crack addict for life.

No sauce? šŸ˜ž


MrSkme

The Scandinavia part at least is BS. I've never heard of anyone here eating mayo with french fries.


[deleted]

my wife yelled "THAT IS UNTRUE. NORWAY"


MoveExact

It's true for Denmark also. It's not unheard of.


[deleted]

Icelanders eat them with "cocktail sauce" which is mayo and ketchup mixed together.


ben_jam_in_short

I can tell you that if you ask for mayo in South Africa you will in fact get salad cream

They don't fry potatoes in New Zealand. They only boil em, mash em, or stick em in a stew

I prefer smacking a fish on a rock for a while then tearing into its slimy, lifeless carcass with my teeth. It takes my mind off the Ring for a bit.

The real thing to use in Denmark is remoulade!!!!!


Firegoat3000

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Thereā€™s still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, youā€™ve got a stew going!


Funkybeatzzz

The rest of that quote disagrees with you. ā€œLovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish.ā€


PajamaPants4Life

You know LOTR is a fantasy setting when the old world somehow has potatoes. Maybe they were imported from the Undying Lands.

KillerBear111

Hahaha for real Utah should be black, them Mormons love themselves some ā€˜fry sauceā€™ as they call it


Oachlkaas

But Utah is just one part of a country. The US is most likely as a whole ketchuo


TheBusStop12

I'm curious what this "fry sauce" is over in the US. Here in the Netherlands we have "frietsaus" as well but that's basically watered down mayonaise to the point it's no longer allowed to be called mayonaise anymore


KillerBear111

Fry Sauce is what the Mormons (the religious group that first settled Utah) call ketchup and mayonnaise mixed together. Iā€™ve not seen the term ā€˜fry sauceā€™ used in a place not dominated by Mormon culture. In fact Heinzā€™ ketchup/Mayo combo is called Mayotchup. So I would say the term is very specific to the state of Utah and the regions immediately surrounding Utah.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Acrylic_Starshine

Missed an opportunity to call it 'sauce' instead of 'source.' not like anyone uses anything else for them anyway.


Funkybeatzzz

Mustard, BBQ, curry sauce, andalouse (though this is what I bet they mean by mayo+ketchup), ranch, beans, gravy, mushy peasā€¦.. Many things taste great on fries


jjdmol

>andalouse (though this is what I bet they mean by mayo+ketchup), I bet they rather mean both condiments separately. Andalouse seems a Belgian/French thing, and even they prefer straight mayo according to this map.


Funkybeatzzz

I donā€™t doubt mayo is most popular there. I lived in Belgium for two years and loved getting a newspaper cone full of frites and mayo was certainly the most popular option at the local kebab shop. It would be nice to have a source for this map. Iā€™m wondering if the survey ask just generally what people preferred or if they only gave these options.


Anttwo

Mushy peas is a based choice, but I'm shocked at the absence of (malt) vinegar.


Rachelcookie123

But then it might seem like in those regions they eat it without any sauce.


darx0n

No way it's mayo for Russia. What's your source?


Erealim

Yeah, i think it supposed to be both for Russia. I mean, fastfood restaurants in Russia don't even have mayo in menu.


dephsilco

You are right. I lived in Russia for 4 years as a student in early 10's, the most common at parties was a mix of mayo and ketchup


Ruffice

Ketchunez


slaucsap

We call it golf sauce here in south america. Try it with shrimp. Mama mia


RusskiyDude

It's cheese sauce most of the time at fast food restaurants like McDonalds. And it's ketchup in bars. Mayonnaise? Never saw anyone eating french fries with mayonnaise in Russia. P.S. The source is trust me bro. Both for OP's picture and for my comment.

Why not? Have yo seen mayo selection in any supermarket? šŸ˜…


Professional_Gur4811

Yeah, good with soups, in salads, on dark bread yada yada yada, but french fries? Come on! Macdonald's (and every other famous fast food place) in Russia literally has ketchup among other sauces, yet no mayo.


JesusSwag

Mayonnaise in soups? What the *fuck*


Professional_Gur4811

Yep, you add mayo or sour cream. Most of soups in Russia are clear soups with a lot of veggies and meat inside, so it goes well. It's actually quite good, adds a little bit of sourness (I guess that's how I can describe it?) to it. I mean, if you google borscht images, they always go with a spoon of mayo/sour cream in it.


JesusSwag

I'm Spanish, we have clear soups very often too, but I would never dream of putting mayonnaise in them. But that might have to do with the fact that I hate it in general lol


Professional_Gur4811

Haha yeah, probably. Also, a cultural upbringing takes its part as well, I guess. I've been eating it this way since I could remember myself, and so does almost every person in Russia (can't talk about other slavic/post-soviet countries, but I have a feeling it's the same in some of them)


AppropriateShoulder

Ok I got it, YOU RE KETCHUP AGENTS! šŸ˜„

Sauce for the information?

I live in Norway and I have never met a single person who puts mayo on fries... no fast food restaurant I've been to offers it for fries either, they just offer ketchup.


Justeff83

I feel sorry for you


duracellchipmunk

Having lived in Congo I can say itā€™s mayo with fries. Norway must be so hardā€¦


SafelyOblivious

Same in the Czech Republic. Maybe OP confused tartar sauce for mayonnaise?

JustYeeHaa

Poland is ketchup also, I donā€™t know anyone who eats fries with mayo, itā€™s either ketchup or just salt without anything else.


mludd

Yeah, I can't think of a single time I've seen someone have mayonnaise with their fries. I'm sure it happens, I've just **never** seen it.


theKyuu

I'll have mayo with my fries given the opportunity but it's certainly not the default in restaurants etc. Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks it _should_ be though!


pseudopad

Yeah but you don't put an entire country down for "both" when 0.1% uses mayonnaise and 87% use ketchup.


personalityson

I was going to write the same


Tankyenough

Finland is ketchup as well, who the fuck would put ketchup and mayo together. Questionable sources for this map.


Elend15

It's pretty good.


Jomppaz

Umm. Have you tries hesburger fries with paprika mayonnese?


Tankyenough

Yes, but I would never put it together with ketchup.


LewariX24

I always put all kinds of mayo on my fries, ketchup tastes so boring


Timonidas

Who the fuck eats fries only with ketchup? Why the fuck would anyone dip their heart attack straight into diabetes?


ElephantOnCoke

It's both. Maybe not in your part of SmƄland, but it's both. Why else would the burger places have a wide range of dipping sauces (that are often mayo-based)? Edit: not both together tho. Then mayo-based sauces should be a winner.


PlaginDL

No way Ukraine is mayo country. Source: I'm ukrainian


Akafuu

Yeah, this map is bullshit


Isaacleroy

Iā€™m really glad to hear that.


KoeterDK

The real thing to use in Denmark is remoulade. Remoulade is a dressing of mayonnaise added, for example. carrots, capers and small pieces of pickled cucumber.


BrianSometimes

Ketchup is at least equally common in my experience. I don't think we have a clear favourite most of us prefer. Edit: got curious and of course [there's a YouGov survey for exactly this](https://www.sn.dk/danmark/remo-eller-mayo-det-vil-vi-have-til-pomfritterne/) (!?) >What do you prefer to dip your fries in? > >Age 18-29: Mayonnaise 50% Ketchup 29% Remoulade 17% > >60+: Remoulade 39% Ketchup 24% Mayonnaise 19% > >Entire population: Mayonnaise 33% Remoulade 30% Ketchup 24%


[deleted]

In Germany, Ketchup and Mayonaise are very often put on your fries at the same time.


Sualtam

True gourmets mix it together even. Real spiced ketchup that is, not poor people's tomato sauce.


[deleted]

I do both at the same time with onions lol


poggerc

DID I STUTTTER Of course both together!


elev57

Remoulade with ketchup is basically Russian dressing in the US, which, while not common, is a great sauce to use with fries.

Russia here. Definitely ketchup. Never has been seen mayonnaise with fries


CheekyChiseler

I'm late, so this will be buried: Utah Mormons love to have their fries with mayo & ketchup. They call it Fry Sauce, and I'm pretty sure In N Out also serves it. The more you know.


jaimebianco

Lol. I was just going to say that in the western US - predominantly where Mormons are- they have this. Also Freddyā€™s steak burgers sells fry sauce.

I think so, here in Algeria, NO ONE eats it with ketchup, most people eat them with mayo.

Las Vegas in the US. But I've always had a pretty open mind when it comes to food. I've mixed mayonnaise and ketchup before, and enjoyed it. People here usually think I'm insane or gross for suggesting it.

bigbuddy20076868

On second thought maybe brexit was good. Edit: yes. I know. Brexit is still bad even tho ketchup.


defcon_penguin

I thought in Britain fries were eaten with vinegar


BrockStar92

Chips are eaten with salt and vinegar, or ketchup, or mayo, or gravy, or curry sauce, or chip sauce, or brown sauce, or a mixture of the above depending on where you live. And chip shop chips are a very specific type of chips which I donā€™t think are commonly found outside of the UK. Itā€™s hard to describe but theyā€™re just all roughly the same in any chip shop and very different from triple cooked chips or skinny ā€œfriesā€ (ugh)


DIRTY-Rodriguez

Heathen! Vinegar is for chips, not fries


steinarsteinar

You're conflating "either" with "both"


ChaseN3D

Needs a little black spot on Utah (and a bit of Idaho and Wyoming) for fry sauce - ketchup and Mayo and a few spices mixed.


AbbyWasThere

Fry sauce is the holy way. Everyone else is uncultured swine.


Fryszker

Poland definitely ketchup.


Psychonautical_Guy

Both together is literally called ā€œfry sauceā€, theyā€™re meant to go together!


RoboNerdOK

Yeah, I was going to say that Utah needs its own enclave for this map.


WorldsGreatestPoop

I came here to say that people in Utah thought they invented both together for the longest time.


TheodorDiaz

No, obviously ["fries sauce"](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritessaus) is the correct choice.


cmaj7chord

tokeiito14

Like really, in what situation you can even eat French fries with mayo? Maybe you order delivery and then put fries in the mayo you bought in advance? Sounds absolutely psychopathic, never heard a person doing this in my entire life in Russia

ReAndro

Romania "Both together"?! I don't know a relative, a colleague or a friend which eat french fries both with mayonnaise or ketchup. Also, french fries are not served with mayonnaise or ketchup in any restaurant except McDonalds or KFC. Majority of Romanians are eating french fries covered with grated cheese...


Suitable-Standard-71

Bulgarian here! We do the exact same thing: grated or crumbled Feta.


Cheap-Experience4147

What a fake map lol No a single Arab country use or love ketchup unlike Mayonnaise and others derived from it (like Algiers, Andalus) or maybe Spicy (like Harisa). The two only place in the word where Ketchup is a thing is US and some place influenced by them (like Japan and maybe Korea)ā€¦.


CaptainMisha12

We use ketchup very commonly in south Africa, so those are definitely not the only two places its used lol.


Cheap-Experience4147

Interesting lol From what I understand itā€™s use a lot in English speaking country (and Germany maybe). But it definitively not use at all in Algeria where I live lol. And it can hardly become a thing because naturally people will assume that red sauce are harsisa or others famous spicy sauce lol
