You just never know with those Mexican steaks. Usually those ungraded
steaks wouldn't even qualify for USDA Select. I only went to that store
for the 79 cent eggs because it's not worth the drive just to find
marginal steaks. This was the exception. I could tell when I saw the marbling that they were a bargain, but I didn't expect them to be this
good. I made the first one yesterday (not pictured). The tenderloin
portions that I gave to my wife hardly needed a butter knife. https://photos.app.goo.gl/nGQtKk2m8a7naeZZ8

So you like to eat things you find repulsive. I wonder if there's a

Deep frying fish and chips in beef fat is the tradition in UK fish and
chip shops, and many of them still do as you can see here.

The fries had a beefy, smokey, taste to them. I liked the flavor of them. OTOH, I
try to avoid fries.
Breakfast this morning was a hamburger and some potatoes cooked in a waffle iron.
It's a pretty easy way to cook in the morning. The shredded potatoes were mixed
with dehydrated onions and an egg.

McDonald's fries, any time before 1990. Cooked in a mixture of
vegetable oil and beef tallow.
I have to say that I say that I have not been to McD very often, Over
the last 50 years it might be a total of less than two dozen times. I
don't remember them ever using beef tallow. I remember reading years
ago that they had been using it in the UK and then the crap hit the fan
that either vegetarians or Hindus or some other look at me group
complained so they stopped.
Deep frying fish and chips in beef fat is the tradition in UK fish and chip shops, and many of them still do as you can see here.

The fries had a beefy, smokey, taste to them. I liked the flavor of
them. OTOH, I try to avoid fries.
Breakfast this morning was a hamburger and some potatoes cooked in a
waffle iron. It's a pretty easy way to cook in the morning. The
shredded potatoes were mixed with dehydrated onions and an egg.

our room with a burger and fries order and handed it to me. I guess she wasn't

Why should I use Google Lens for this when I can easily google
for "gravy on french fries"? I've take a great deal of trouble
to develop literacy skills, and it's worked out quite well for me.
Here's what Google's all-powerful AI tells me:
"French fries with gravy is a classic comfort food, most famously served
as Canadian poutine (with cheese curds) or New Jersey disco fries (with mozzarella)." I also get hits for Montana and Pennsylvania.
Millions of people do not live in New Jersey, Montana, or Pennsylvania. Millions of people have never tasted gravy on french fries. It makes
me happier than I can say that you have enjoyed this taste treat.
For my part, french fries don't require the addition of grease,
whether it's gravy, cheese, chili, or mayonnaise. All they need
is salt.

When I was a kid is was quite common to have French fries and gravy.-a I loved it, but having been doomed to suffer from gall stone issues it was something I learned not to eat that a lot of fatty foods.

There are so many things you say you don't talk about or don't allow
yourself to talk about, one wonders how you're still able to post
anything. Maybe you're slowly developing into a Non-Posting, Enigmatic Hawaiian?
Here's my opinion, by the way: the main reason for the existence of
fries is that they give me an excuse to consume large quantities of
mayo.

For my part, french fries don't require the addition of grease,
whether it's gravy, cheese, chili, or mayonnaise. All they need
is salt.
Mostly, it's vanity and arrogance on your part. You never saw such a dish and that's supposed to mean something universal. Mostly, it means that you never saw such a dish.

Americans because I'm an American. Are you American? Haven't you seen
fries with gravy? My statement was simple - Americans like to eat
fries with gravy. What's the big deal? Do I have to spell everything
out for you? It sure looks like it.

The Poutine fries?
Presumably. Or it's a typo, which is my guess at this point.
I think we all know gravy on fries is a thing in Canada.

Nah. Most will know about Canada's use of gravy on fries as a
popular option. Do all know? Maybe not. But jmquown does point out the comment is a thought and not a statement of fact.
Add cheese curds and you've got
poutine. It appears he's now changing his statement about the

Yes, diners across 'Murica now feature "wet fries" because they are
most certainly popular:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/35571284073/posts/10162013611944074/
Poutine is becoming more popular in the United States. I don't
know if this is the case in Mexico (the third country that makes up
North America).

I've never eaten poutine. It's never crossed my mind. Having said

I avoid it because it is made of three things I should be

The thought of squeaky cheese curds puts me off even trying it.
How can you not even try the national dish?

Nope. Neither of those pictures looks like any fries

Me, neither.
The first picture looks like someone ground up a an old

The second one looks like diarrhea dumped on those equally

The good folks of Montana would disagree with you. That's
some perfectly normal Montana fries with a Montana burger.
"Yes, fries are served with gravy in Montana! While it isn't
the standard default everywhere, you will easily find them at
many pubs, diners, and ski resort towns."
You found one of the places that serves gravy on fries and
ASSume it's universal in Montana.
My guess is that you've never been to Montana. Those people put
gravy on everything. I gotta say that it's kind of a weak gravy.

Classic cold country fare.
It's like the Canajuns and their sublime poutine:

One of the things people in Montana like to do is dig holes and
pull out all manner of things from mother earth. As such, there is
a tradition of eating pasties. I was surprised that they like to
serve it with gravy because how does one get gravy deep in the
bowels of the earth? I'm probably one of the few persons on this
rock that makes pasties. They're great for a quick lunch but I
never thought of putting some gravy on it. I have eaten them with
ketchup though. That's about as far as I'm willing to go.

In the Upper Peninsula, where pasties roam freely in herds,;-)
there's a controversy between gravy and ketchup on pasties.

I am starting to re-think ketchup. I loved it when I was a kid. Ketchup
was rich and flavourful. Over the years the tomato part disappeared and
it became weird combination of vinegar and sugar. I used it in meat loaf
and would have a little extra on the side. I also had it with macaroni
and cheese and with an fried egg sandwich or a western, neither of which
I ate very often. Then I discovered a gourmet ketchup. I paid the
extra bucks in the search of a ketchup of my youth. Holy cow. What a difference. It costs 4-5 times as much as the commercial slop but it is good.

I've seen those; they seem expensive.
Do you remember any particular brand names?
If I buy one I do not like, I know I will
feel obligated not to completely waste it.
And while our trains of thought are such
sidings, did *anyone* ever try the little
jar of "Keen's Prepared" that usually sits
near the boxes of Keen's mustard powder.
BTW, this is apparently the *only* brand
of prepared mustard (other than 'Dijon'
or 'coarse' styles) that is still sold
in glass jars instead of opaque yellow
plastic bottles with holes too narrow
for final dredging with a soup spoon.

I just stopped liking it. I don't see why I should re-develop a
taste for it.
There are plenty of other sauces, and fries only
need salt.
A fried egg sandwich gets mayo spread on the bread. Meat loaf
needs gravy. A western has green pepper in it, doesn't it? That's
a hard no for me. A minute fragment (a sliver 1/4" across) of
green pepper made its way onto a pizza I ordered. Ruined the
entire slice.
When I was a kid I ate ketchup on scrambled eggs. I stopped that
when I went to college, so the rich kids wouldn't think I was a
rube.

Ketchup and mustard are mostly commodity items for me that I use for cooking. I get the cheapest I can find. I use the ketchup as a sweetener and the mustard
to balance out flavors. Mustard is my secret flavor weapon.

i rarely use it on much else, once a month a few frenchIncrease the tomato paste and cut the sugar and vinegar.
fries and last week we were eating a lot of cheesy potatoes
so once in a while i'd put a little ketchup on those for
variety.
they could cut the sugar in it by half.

Two different flavor combinations. Just because both are 'white'

Based on the comments from south of the border about gravy on fries it

In these parts a lot of kids seem to like ketchup on gravy but older
folks tend to go for vinegar and some insisting on malt vinegar. There
are a lot of Dutch in our town, first and second generation. Thanks to
them mayonnaise has become popular.

David just loves to dig the whole deeper. I think we all know
gravy on fries is a thing in Canada. Add cheese curds and you've

opposed to some diners in Montana.
Sorry, I'm not talking about Canada or Mexico. I'm talking about
Americans because I'm an American. Are you American? Haven't you
seen fries with gravy? My statement was simple - Americans like to
eat fries with gravy. What's the big deal? Do I have to spell
everything out for you? It sure looks like it.
I'm in the South and fries and gravy are definitely not a thing
here and you've got to stop making statements that Americans like
to eat fries with gravy. Frankly, it sounds stomach churning.
Hank, is fries with gravy a big thing in Alabama?? If Squirtz was
still posting here he could chime in and give his observation of
what's trending in south Texas as far as fries and gravy. Leo, is
fries and gravy the only way they eat them in Nevada?? Bryan, how
about your area?
We need to hear from Ed and while he's vacationing on the Atlantic
coast, he needs to ask his hostesses if fries and gravy are a must
have combination there.

I don't understand why we're beating this dead horse.
David/dsi1 makes sweeping statements about what is popular on "the
mainland" all the time but he really doesn't have a clue.
His wife is from Montana.
Maybe it's popular in some diners in Montana.
That does not mean fries topped with brown gravy are popular all over the US.
The End.

You found one of the places that serves gravy on fries and
ASSume it's universal in Montana.
My guess is that you've never been to Montana. Those people put
gravy on everything. I gotta say that it's kind of a weak gravy.

One of the things people in Montana like to do is dig holes and pull
out all manner of things from mother earth. As such, there is a
tradition of eating pasties. I was surprised that they like to serve
it with gravy because how does one get gravy deep in the bowels of
the earth? I'm probably one of the few persons on this rock that
makes pasties. They're great for a quick lunch but I never thought of putting some gravy on it. I have eaten them with ketchup though.
That's about as far as I'm willing to go.

Do you use this method:
"For the pasty crust, I use a hot water crust. IrCOve always used a more traditional pie crust in the past, but after watching the Great British Baking Show, I wanted to try a hot water crust. I was not disappointed!
The crust is delicate, yet smooth and sturdy enough contain all the
filling without flaking apart. ItrCOs terribly easy to make, and while it chills, you can do all of the prepping of the meat and vegetables."
Or just default to frozen dough?

Today werCOre making homemade empanada dough that can be used to make pastelillos, empanadas, and so much more! ItrCOs made with just 5
ingredients (flour, butter, salt, egg, and water) and comes together in

we use so much ketchup that i'd not want to pay that kind

I can appreciate that. Because the commercial stuff is so bad I had
pretty well got out of the habit of using it. That little 12 oz bottle costs $8 compare for $5-6 for a 32 oz bottle. It lasted about 8 months.
It doesn't break the bank for me. It might be different if I used a lot more. But.... if I did use a lot more ketchup I would consider making
it. For me it's like mayonnaise in that, as good as home made it, I will never use enough to make it worthwhile.
most of the time we're using it as the starting base of a

Meat pies are awesome. I make the dough by dumping some flour, salt,
and shortening, in a bowl. I use my fingertips to incorporate the
fat. It feels so good and it's fast. Add some water until it just
almost holds together. The dough should be quite dry. Then let it set
for a while. I don't bother to measure out anything. I need to be a
free bird.

I agree, Pierre, but only in small amounts. They are powerful and
sometimes people use too much and it turns them against anchovies.
I avoid it because it is made of three things I should be avoiding, so forget about having them all together. Most other people love it.
Apparently it is very important that they use cheese curds..... fresh
cheese curds. Some of the cheap imitations use other types of cheese.

Not surprising Cindy. Your body has always craved enormous amounts
of salt to keep your electrolytes balanced.
Fortunately, salt is cheap and easy to get. Most farmer's COOPs sell
it in 50 pound bags, but switch to an iodized salt occasionally for
your thyroid. It doesn't take much, a tiny bit of iodine is all you
need.

I'm not a fan of ketchup on fries either, it just seems to overwhelm the
taste of the potato no matter how little is used. But will admit if chili >> sauce is available it will get a dab on the plate. It's flavorful and spicy >> without being hot or taking over the dish; pretty darn good on onion rings >> as well. But it's not in restaurants as a regular condiment for fries.
For a while, I was doing cocktail sauce on onion rings. Now I'm
much more selective about where I order them, and -- like fries --
all they need is salt.

Anchovies can turn a mundane pizza into a good one, IMO. Bring it on.
Don't forget, American pizzas are dialed up to 11. Your pizza
would arrive covered in anchovies.
I wouldn't mind a rather basic pizza with a lot of anchovies. But
maybe there are no basic pizzas in the US.

Two different flavor combinations. Just because both are 'white'
inside doesn't mean they are a great duo.

That's a semantic discontinuity right there.
The "inside color" is a non sequitur.
Btw, gravy over egg noodles is awesome:

Sorry, I'm not talking about Canada or Mexico. I'm talking about Americans because
I'm an American. Are you American? Haven't you seen fries with gravy? My statement
was simple - Americans like to eat fries with gravy. What's the big deal? Do I
have to spell everything out for you? It sure looks like it.
I'm in the South and fries and gravy are definitely not a thing here and you've
got to stop making statements that Americans like to eat fries with gravy. Frankly, it sounds stomach churning. Hank, is fries with gravy a big thing in Alabama?? If Squirtz was still posting here he could chime in and give his
observation of what's trending in south Texas as far as fries and gravy. Leo,
is fries and gravy the only way they eat them in Nevada?? Bryan, how about your area?
We need to hear from Ed and while he's vacationing on the Atlantic coast, he needs to ask his hostesses if fries and gravy are a must have combination there.
Stating that Americans smother gravy on fries, in general, is utterNo one said "in general" - merely that regionally across the nation it
nonsense.

that before you posted your picture, which you called "fries

The Poutine fries?
Presumably. Or it's a typo, which is my guess at this point.

Please read for context.
Poor choice, it's a puddle of negativty ftmp.
So, your life as expressed here? Got it.
I think we all know gravy on fries is a thing in Canada.
That being the royal "we' of course...
Nah. Most will know about Canada's use of gravy on fries as a
popular option. Do all know? Maybe not. But jmquown does point out
the comment is a thought and not a statement of fact.
It's widely available knowledge, period.
So you claim it's a fact that *everyone* knows? That's how it
appears.
If this is the claim you're making, please present your best
evidence.
I'd guess not - that's empanada country:Add cheese curds and you've got
poutine. It appears he's now changing his statement about the

Yes, diners across 'Murica now feature "wet fries" because they
are most certainly popular:

Poutine is becoming more popular in the United States. I don't
know if this is the case in Mexico (the third country that makes up
North America).

Making the claim of "...the entire North American continent..." erroneous, at best.

You are the one relying on the research of others, and the others aren't even human.

I avoid it because it is made of three things I should be avoiding, so forget about having them all together. Most other people love it. Apparently it is very important that they use cheese curds..... fresh cheese curds. Some of the cheap imitations use other types of cheese.
A bunch of our family emigrated to Wisconsin. I went there once for my
oldest granddaughter's graduation and developed a deep craving for
cheese curds. I'd never laid eyes on them before.
Then I came home. I haven't seen any since, except once. My SIL sent me
a package of them for Christmas. Wait! Some chicken joint serves them
breaded and deep fried, and I had some. Ain't the same. ry|N+A
