tomato sauce or ketchup? a matter of national pride

[dangolf18]

Your chips are like potato wedges...we have "real" fries. Even the french/belgians call them "frites" (best translates to "fries"). 

[LGC]

Call it whatever you want. Eat or not. In the US, tomato sauce is based on tomato purée with various spices, herbs, and/or vegetables. Ketchup has a thicker, tomato paste base with a lot of vinegar and sugar (a condiment, not a sauce). This is why kids love it.

Is this a good time to ask which sauce goes best with beer battered fries? 

Or wedges, chips etc

And the American version I and millions of others grew up with. There is no substitute.

Add some cheese curds to that and now we're cooking with gas. Poutine FTW!! (And I'm not even Canadian).

A major Canadian contribution to civilisation! Hooray for our North-North-American cousins!

My wife grabbed these today. She said she loved them when she did a 3 month internship in kairns many years ago. Figured this would be a good place to post. Biscuits vs cookies! Battle commence.

Since you are in fact German, any Bavarian beer recommendations?  Me like Kulmbacher Swarzbier, Weihenstephan, Spaten

They are great! And available at Wal Mart here in the states.

She spelled it right, I typed it wrong. I'll be trying them shortly to determine the quality.

Big fan of Andechser here. And any of the Bavarian or Swabian Hefeweizen.

Can't stand anything IPA.

Didn't most of them die from unnatural causes, though? Like a helicopter crash?
