More often than not, Tomato Sauce
Which I think is Tomato Ketchup for you folks? It's also common (and delicious!) to have chips with brown vinegar.
Me, I smother them with mayonnaise. That's my Dutch genes showing through :)

Not Dutch
Québecois. When you order fries in Quebec (as opposed to Poutine) you get a side dollop of mayo to put on them.
Boxley's crack about gravy refers to poutine... which is supposed to come with gravy, and cheese curds too (note - NOT mozzarella as is the case at a lot of places a bit further removed from the origins of the dish).

They do that in Germany too.
I have an aversion to mayo and was suprised by it on fries at a rest stop on an autobahn.

No. No. No. No.
Which I think is Tomato Ketchup for you folks? NO! There is only ONE. Tomato Ketchup == Heinz Ketchup. Not catsup, tomato sauce. Sure, it has tomatoes in it, but also has vinegar, HFCS[1], CS, salt, spice, onion powder and "Natural Flavoring" (Must be the Sewage Rand mentioned) Me, I smother them with mayonnaise. That's my Dutch genes showing through :) Exactly what kind of Mayonnaise would that be? Hellman's here. Of course Miracle Whip works too.. [1] Don't bother me on this point. I was hooked long before *I* knew what HFCS was.

Tomato Sauce and Mayonnaise
(which, incidentally, are a handy base for prawn cocktail :)
OK I've dragged the Rosella brand Tomato Sauce out of the cupboard and this is what it says:
Tomato Puree (78%), Sugar, Salt, Food Acid (Acetic), Spice Extracts, Garlic Extract.
No HFCS in sight - it's pretty uncommon in any food here, unless it's imported from the US :)
As for Mayonnaise, it's usually Kraft if nothing else in the fridge, or a delicious whole-egg that I remember little about except (a)I know what it looks like (b) I find it in the health food section of the supermarket (c) it's gluten free and (d) I've run out :(
Will report back the next time I feel compelled to have some chips :)

Eye No That.
Just commenting that for a reason, nobody seemed to pickup.
But, still it is pretty dern good on fries too. Especially the ones that have been in the fry bin under the lamps fer a while. But then Mayo is still better.

WTF is "Miracle Whip"?
Some kind of divine bondage device?

Utter shite is what it is.
[link|http://www.kraftfoods.com/miraclewhip/|Read all about it].
It's a white substance with mostly the consistency of mayo, but extra added tang, and it just tastes horrid. I can't eat the stuff, and if it's put in anything, I can tell that it's not made with Mayo.
