I think mayonnaise is one of those things that's not great by itself, an
it needs to be in (or with) another food to be good.

My wife dips her fries in mayo, and gets extra mayo on burgers. Needles to say, I can't watch her do it. lol

I do think mayo can be good on some things. Sometimes I like to get a Whopp from Burger King, and I think the combination of mayo and ketchup on it (alo with the condiments) gives it a good flavor.

I've heard mayo with fries is particularly popular in some other countries, it's not really my thing.

I once dipped my fries in mayonnaise in the college cafeteria. A friend of mine with a dismayed look on his face said "You know, that will be your undoing..."

It relieves me to know I can pinpoint the exact date and time everything went south.

Fries that are made fresh at the restraunt or fast food chain, like In and Out, you can literally watch them make the fries at In and Out.

... Do not look into laser with remaining eyeball.

Interesting, I'd just call those fresh French fries.. I can't say I've heard the term "housefries".

Neither have I. Seems like a strange thing to call them, since *ALL*
fast food places make the fries on the premises. <BOGGLE>




... As a matter of fact, it IS a banana in my pocket.

House fries, House Beer, House burgers, any thing made as a specialty in house.
Here in Utah we have restraunts that brew their own special Beer recipes.
Also other restraunts that serve their own specialty Hamburgers.
Not sure where you and Nightfox are from, But yes House fries are also a thing.




... 24 hours in a day and 24 beers in a case. Hmmmm...

Example: McDonald's fries are frozen /before/ they are shipped to the restaurants. I imagine quite a few other fast food chains, as well as probably a good percentage of actual restaurants do the same.

I think what the OP was referring to was actually cutting, blanching, and cooking the fries (without freezing) in-house, hence why they call them 'house fries'. For the record, I have also heard of this, but it's not nearly as often as it used to be. More fancier restaurants, like steak houses, will still use the term, though.

Nick
