Poutine is the greatest thing ever done with fries. 
We don't have Wendys but this method works just fine elsewhere!

This is on my list of things to eat some day. We have one place here who makes it but it the fake stuff with just grated cheese on gravy. I want the real curds.
And speaking of gravy fries and gravy is good, you can get that at fish and chips shops.

The same. I've yet to try poutine, but I am curious. I have eaten cottage cheese with Cool Ranch Doritos, and I liked it.
The curds look thicker than that though? I have now tried poutine twice here, there was one pub that told me it was curds but it absolutely was not. Besides I think you have to be freezing your ass off in canada to really get the most out of it.

The curd is probably a lot thicker than just regular cottage cheese, although now I may try to make my own poutine and give it a try.
Speak for yourself, I love mayo on fries. And before it blew up, the best fries place in NYC had about 40 mayos to choose from!
Yeah if you google it and read the wiki on poutine it's pretty interesting.

Well then you're one of my American friends who loves it!
I do like it, though I had to come around to it. For a while I only had ketchup with fries, but I've since branched out. I rather like thousand island dressing with fries, too.
I think of ketchup as the flavour killer. It blankets rather than enhances.
I actually loathe ketchup. I am craving the Pommes Frites mango chutney mayo now. But it's all exploded. 
We are two halves of the same soul.
I've squirted some into my spag bol when I needed an acidic note and there was no wine. That's pretty much all I use it for.

I love ketchup, but it can't just be any ketchup. It has to have a real zest to it, and it can't be overly sweet. I've had ketchups that taste more sugary than tart, and it's just nasty.
Blegh. Ketchup on crackers was kind of the staple meal of poor kids in the '70s and '80s (is it still?). I think just had my fill by age 11.
I like ketchup on cheeseburgers, but on a hotdog I much prefer SKYLINE CHILI .

We couldn't afford crackers. We had the cheapest of cheap breads money could buy (you could use it as bread, or as a scouring sponge), and we would put ketchup on that and eat it.
My mom's best trick was somehow making three different meals in a day out of instant biscuit mix.

Moms really are something, aren't they? I mean, as a kid I never really knew I was poor. Well, until I started going to middle school, then I figured it out really quickly.
I got an inkling around age six when I helped my dad steal cable TV: he needed my little arms to reach into the space between the roofs of the duplexes and reach the wires.
I've come to think of myself as a special kind of cultured.
