I grew up in Utah, where "fry sauce" is the norm: ketchup mixed with mayonnaise. Fortunately I never really liked it (I prefer my fries unsauced, except as part of poutine or doused in malt vinegar for fish&chips), but it's always amusing to hear friends and family complain about the lack of it when they visit other states.
- batbomb 12y agoI grew up in New Mexico, moved to Utah in high school, and have a Dutch grandfather. Fry sauce exists outside of Utah, but mostly in places with either high Dutch populations (western Michigan) or high Mormon populations. I encountered it first when I was in elementary school. The abundance of it in commercial establishments, however, is a definitely a Utah thing. Unfortunately, the Utah product is rarely homemade and usually a mix of Best Foods and a Heinz product, and isn't anything nearly as creamy as you'd get in the Netherlands. That said, nothing beats Heinz Ketchup. If more places in Utah took just a bit more pride in the fry sauce it could be a much better product on its own.
