What I’m about to argue in this article is controversial. It may cause friendships to splinter; it may make me look extreme, or ill-informed. It might even make you, dear reader, question my sanity. However, I still feel that it is deeply important to share my argument, as it reveals incredibly important information to the world. What, you may ask, is this hush-hush knowledge? Prepare yourself. Are you ready?

Mayonnaise on fries is absolutely delicious.

As someone who doesn’t eat fries with ketchup or any of the other usual condiments (I’m a potato purist, so sue me), I wasn’t expecting to enjoy mayonnaise on fries. It’s a super popular trend outside of the United States—I tried it for the first time while studying abroad in Ecuador, but I’ve had it in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile as well. I also know that a number of European countries will put mayo on fries—tres chic.

If you’ve never tried may on fries, I suggest you go to your nearest fast food favorite and order some of your favorite free conceptions, then add mayo to whatever you get. Here’s what to expect: the saltiness of the fry, the tang of mayo, the soft goodness of the potato within. The first bite might be a little alarming—it is a new experience, after all—but I promise you, soon you’ll be craving fries not just with a hearty dose of ketchup but also with a nice helping of may as well.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
