All of this sounds like an awful lot of trouble just to eat a damn french fry. Here is an easy recipe......lightly salt, lightly pepper, dip into ketchup. Try it.

Vinegar on fries is a British tradition ,particularly England and Scotland, with fish and chips. Most southern settlers were Scots-Irish… so I guess technically in America it's southern by way of Britain.

Not really. In the US, it's mostly a mid-Atlantic thing, except for a few fast food chains. Captain D's, 5 Guys....places like that have malt vinegar for the fries (and fish).

Captain D's was my immediate thought. Their vinegar on the hush puppies is worth killing for. I blame them for me being such a fat shite growing up.

I think it's a regional thing...I'm in Fort Collins CO and the 5 Guys here does not have any form of vinegar. Can get regular fries or Cajun fries. Only condiments are mustard and ketchup.

I get weird looks requesting catsup with fries in Canada. They like gravy on them.

best fish and chips i ever had was standing by the docks in Portsmouth England, looking at the HMS Victory as i ate. Pretty much ruined me on other fish and chips, although there is a scottish guy who runs a food cart in Portland that does pretty good job.

Meth>>>>>any food to come out of England. Truly the most bland and uninspired food in the world, and I'm not even sure there's a close second

I only do ranch with my fries. Baumhower's Wings' gooey fries with ranch is a gift from God. Curley fries with bacon, melted cheese, with ranch.
