Lines: 24 --> -->In W. Germany, mayonnaise is the preferred condiment for pomme frits (french -->fries). It's probably because their ketchup tastes horrible (too sweet and -->gummy). --> -->D. V. Wilkerson -->AT&T Bell Labs -->{allegra,inhp[134]}!hopd3!dvw --> --> This is true in Holland too.I was working in the Hague and staying at a hotel in nearby Scheveningen when I went for a walk down towards the docks when I stopped at a foodstall and pointed out some french fries.The lady serving me said something (in Dutch I presume) to me and I ,not wishing to look foolish(but probably did) nodded my head. Upon this she slapped a dollop of creamy coloured stuff on the fries. I tendered my money ,received my change and wandered off wondering what on earth she'd slapped on my fries.I gingerly tried and have been hooked ever since.I might add if you are going to try this use a quality mayonnaise not cheap stuff.
