[rrneck]

big crunchy French fries with big chunks of garlic stuck all over them.

I will now bask in your envy.

Mayonayse is an evil curse from Hellman!

Well played sir, well played indeed.

7. I just dropped in to work things out with my girlfriend

so hold the clam chowder.

8. that kind of fry

calls for an aioli, a freshly-made flavored mayo. It does not come in jars. Well it can, but it shouldn't.

[rrneck]

11. Just about the only thing I'll eat with Mayonayse in it

is coleslaw. Would it work for that?

[BainsBane]

12. no, but you could have coleslaw on the side

I bet if you tried a really nice aioli you'd like it. It's really just an egg and oil emulsion.

I LOVE garlic. Those sound like some great fries!

[rrneck]

14. I'll be on the lookout for it.

If it weren't for garlic, tabasco, and good tequila I just couldn't go on.

[BainsBane]

18. I so agree

All excellent choices.

3. No cayenne?

You must be just a tourist.

[MiddleFingerMom]

6. Cayenne was my first thought. Is this a NOLA dish?

[pinboy3niner]

15. I grew up in SoCal, discovered cayenne late in life

But my catharsis may have come from a Paul Prudhomme recipe. Discovered in a gourmet cooking class I took from a Cajun shrimper who was, at the time, operating a seafood market in McLean, VA and co-teaching the class with a CIA analyst/gourmand.

Check out Prudhomme's recipe for Barbecued Shrimp sometime. Actually sauteed, not barbecued, in an herbed and spiced butter sauce that is sublime!

I now use cayenne in gravies, soups, all kinds of things, including a great Maryland Blue Crab/Shrimp Spice (which itself is great just for dipping chips in the dry spice).

But I'm not putting down garlic at all. My love affair with garlic is another story...

9. Point well taken.

I'm trying that next time if I have to bring my own.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. No envy from me. I hate garlic.

[rrneck]

10. I'll have to think of something else with which to taunt you.

But it won't be fish. If it ever swam I won't eat it.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. so then, your girlfriend does not swim?

[rrneck]

20. Busted again!

I need lounge thread practice!

13. On Facebook, this info comes with pictures.

[rrneck]

16. That's true.

I plead phone posting. And being too busy stuffing French fries down my neck to take a picture.

17. DUzy!

Nice font!
