I ate French Fries with a fork today

[NBachers]

I was at In 'N' Out Burger in San Francisco, and had an order of fries with my Double Double Burger. When the fries got short, I put ketchup on 'em and then used a fork to eat 'em up without getting ketchup all over my fingers.

Is this permitted?

[world wide wally]

1. No fries for you!

[elleng]

2. Recall this?

Let them eat (CAKE!)

[Kalidurga]

3. no don't be silly

[NBachers]

4. Actually, it works out pretty well that way. Better ketchup load factor.

[Kalidurga]

5. I'm not a big fan of ketchup.

A little goes a long way.

[csziggy]

15. In my house, fries are just the tool to get ketchup (catsup) into your mouth! nt

[NBachers]

16. I hate those foil packets. But, the poor restauranteurs who put ketchup in the bottle lose half the

bottle at least when I come in for a hamburger and french fries.

but Don't Put It On Eggs!

[TMontoya]

6. Blasphemy!!

Say 10 McDonalds and 5 Bks!

7. My late Uncle used to refer to

"Eating with hands and feet."

I would balk at using a plastic fork.

[NBachers]

11. OK, next time, I'll specify the In 'N' Out staff to supply me with a metal fork.

[tblue37]

22. I use the phrase "shoveling it in with two hands and a foot." It's a more vivid image. nt

8. Animal style fries need a fork

But putting ketchup directly on fries in the first place is absolutely wrong.

[NBachers]

12. It's really the only way I can get ketchup on the small crispy fries after I've dipped the big ones.

Is that a qualifying excuse?

9. You went to In-N-Out and didn't order Animal Style?

Infidel!

The In-N-Out Animal Style Fries are one of the most popular items on In-N-Out Burger's "secret menu." And if you've ever had them, you know why. Layered on top of hot french fries, ordering "Animal Style Fries" adds cheese, In-N-Out's secret spread, and grilled onions right on top. Pure goodness.

10. There's a story behind that: My default order is Animal Style, both on burger and fries.

But my girlfriend had to be back at work soon, and there was a long wait to get served. It usually takes longer to prepare Animal Style, so we decided to order regular non-Animal Style in the interest of saving time. It was still a satisfying Burger 'N' Fries experience.

13. I'll let it go... this time

[Recursion]

14. 3-by-3 animal style, fries animal style, and a vanilla shake

That was my order every day in Oceanside. I hear they closed the In & Out on the pier; I have no idea where I'd eat in Oceanside now.

27. Onions AND secret spread?

I'd probably have In n out digestive issues. No thanks.

18. At least you didn't put mayo on the fries.

[NBachers]

19. I have experimented with putting ranch on curly fries. It actually works out quite well.

[NightWatcher]

20. There's nothing more 'Murican than ranch on everything

Curly fries make me wanna yak.

[NBachers]

21. Last time I had that reaction was when I bought some fried dough (elephant ear) at the

amusement park in Santa Cruz. Serious stomach issues.

23. Go to fork jail.

Go directly to fork jail.

Do NOT pass go.

Do NOT collect $200.

Forks are only allowable for green chili cheese fries.

[LiberalElite]

25. No one cares because you're not a politician nt

[MrWendel]

26. Eh...

I'll allow it.

[LiberalArkie]

28. Should have more catsup to qualify for the fork, but it is close.

[NBachers]

33. I was beset with serious time constraints: I had to do a 40 minute drive in 25 minutes with traffic

jams in the way. Off the freeway and slamming down city streets. My 5-speed abilities at stake with my girlfriend. Alas, I got her there two minutes late.

Are you sure it's not "ketchup?"

[SoLeftIAmRight]

29. yes

...

[lunatica]

30. Don't you know it's compulsory to get ketchup on your fingers?!

That way you can finish up by licking your fingers, the way it's supposed to be done. Geez!

32. Now you're making me feel like the

34. Don't you mean Freedom Fries?

[NBachers]

35. To The Ramparts!

36. I eat French fries with a fork all the time

I was raised from childhood that French fries are to be eaten with a fork, not your fingers, at the dinner table. This holds true especially when I doused my fries with ketchup.

I always thought eating fries with your fingers was bad table manners and the only time eating them with your fingers was acceptable was at fast food outlets.

37. I prefer a spork

so I can ladle the ketchup onto the fries, then eat, without changing utensils.

The spork is also great for chili-dogs, ladling on the ketchup, cutting up the dog, bringing the bite-sized morsels to the mouth. Delicious.
