    I can't believe mayonnaise as condiment never entered the fray... I suppose you can take the boy out of Europe but not Europe out of the boy... Next you'll tell me you'd rather have Pepsi than Kvas....


    So from the ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League) kind of an old standby:

    Hams can talk about anything, but there are some topics we try to avoid. Discussions of politics and religion tend to attract controversy and start arguments on the air. If it looks like your rag chew is heading in those directions, use good judgment. Does the other operator agree with your views? If not, will you be offended? Will he (or others) be offended? If you have doubts, it is best to change the subject. Conduct yourself as though anyone in the world might be listening at any time.

    I assume that's where fsx drew the policy from.

    Mayonnaise is very common in the US, to use as a spread on sandwiches and in some salads (such as tuna salad, egg salad, etc.). I don't think mayonnaise is a European thing..

    I'm not familiar with Kvas though, but I actually do prefer Pepsi over Coke.

    This reminds me when I was a teenager (back in the 90s), we had a constant stream of new missionaries for my church coming in from the US.

    We were out for lunch with the new missionaries at a burger place and they were surprised to see we only had ketchup and vinegar packets available for the fries. They both asked for mayo packets and the person behind the counter said that they don't have mayo in packets, but was happy to give them some in a small cup.

    I'd never really seem someone dip their fries in mayo before that day and one of the missionaries was kind of repulsed that I was putting vinegar on my fries. He was the same one who thought we were playing a prank on him when he saw that our milk comes in bags.

    Interesting.. These were missionaries from the US? From what I've heard, I always thought mayonnaise on french fries was more common in Europe. I personally haven't known anyone in the US who likes mayonnaise on their fries. In the US, ketchup is usually what people like on fries, and sometimes other sauces (Thousand Island dressing, sometimes barbecue sauce, or what some places call "fry sauce", which seems like Thousand Island dressing to me). I've also known some people to mix ketchup and mayonnaise for fries; just not mayonnaise by itself.

    My wife and daughter love to dip their fries in mayo. I personally gag just by the thought of it, but I'm not a fan of mayo by itself on anything. Subs/sandwiches I'd rather have olive oil and vinegar. Burgers, ketchup and mustard, or I can deal with versions of thousand island dressing (which may or may not have mayo, heck sometimes it's just a mixture of ketchup and mayo - which I don't mind).

    We've also had a fairly popular gas station chain around here called Kwik Trip that, up until recently always sold milk in bags.

    Then again, I'm in Wisconsin, so fairly close to Canada. I'm sure that some popular traits make their way across the border at some time or another. :)

    I tend to like oilive oil & vinegar on subs as well. One of my favorite subs is the "Original Italian" from Jersey Mike's - They tend to put generous amounts of olive oil & vinegar on it, and I think it adds a lot to the flavor of the sandwich.

    I like ketchup & mustard on burgers, though I think mayonnaise and ketchup can be a good combination on a burger too. Burger King's Whopper has that, and I think it goes well with the other toppings on the Whopper.

    I think Thousand Island and similar on a burger is good too. A&W's Papa Burger is like that, and it's one of my favorite fast food burgers.

    While Jersey Mikes is by far my favorite sub shop, sometimes they can go a little overboard with the oil and vinegar. Not so much that it ruins any flavor, but moreso that it ends up all over your hands and face. :)

    Agreed. I just can't stand mayo by itself, or really any time you can actually taste it.

    Chik-fil-a sauce is pretty awesome on fries and burgers, too. It could be argued that sauce is also similar to a thousand island dressing, though.

    I don't really mind, as I think the oil & vinegar helps with the flavor, especially since that's the only thing keeping the sandwich from being dry.

    There's a local Greek restaurant in my area that has a really big sandwich, similar to an Italian sub. Their location closest to me closed for a few years, but I used to get one of those sandwiches sometimes, and it also has oil & vinegar on it. Recently, that location opened back up and I've gotten one of those sandwiches from there a couple times and it seems quite a bit more dry than it used to be.. So I appreciate a place like Jersey Mike's that puts a generous amount of that on there. :)

    Chik-fil-a sauce is pretty awesome on fries and burgers, too. It could be argued that sauce is also similar to a thousand island dressing, though.

    I don't really like Chik-Fil-A sauce much, but I might have to try it on a burger. Overall I don't really get the hype around Chick-Fil-A..

    I didn't realize coleslaw had mayo.. It always seemed to me that coleslaw has a dressing that is more runny and isn't as thick as mayo. I looked up a coleslaw dressing recipe, and indeed it mentions mayo.

    I've put together coleslaw at home sometimes, and often I've bought pre-made coleslaw dressing such as this:
    https://www.vons.com/shop/product-details.106040046.html
    Looking at the ingredients for that, it doesn't specifically say it has mayo, I imagine several of the ingredients are pretty much what's in mayo.

    And I grew up with my dad, for whom fries were ketchup-delivery vehicles. He was also a fan of ketchup on eggs.

    I agree there, just sometimes the bread is sopping wet with it. There's a nice happy medium that you only get once in awhile, but I guess I'd rather have too much, than not enough.

    Nope, but essentially there's been heated back and forth between some past posters when views are shared regarding political and/or religious subjects.

    I took the view that to negate discord and help foster the goals and values of fsxNet it was best to ask folks to take such posts to othernets... as some have mentioned already there's plenty of other spaces / places on the internet and BBS land that those conversations can take place in.

    The feedback since that change was made has been overwhelmingly supportive.

    I'll do salsa on eggs, which is probably closely related.

    Gravy is the way to go, apparantly! I not so long ago had poutine for the first time in my life. It had pork belly and a brown gravy that was amazing! Not sure I can eat fries and ketchup ever again.

    Same here in Wisconsin. But then again, there's not much you can do with fries/chips, besides finding anything incredible to put on them. :)

    Here cod is the norm, but they usually have some locally popular fish like blue gill, perch, or walleye as other options as well.

    Agreed, but I don't think I've ever seen Salmon advertised as any kind of fish fry around here. Probably a good thing, I guess.

    The only condiment required for fries, chips here in the civilised world ;) is Chicken Salt!

    Chicken salt + gravy on mashed potatoes is in fact a superior codiment for fried.

    KFC used to serve their fries with chicken salt & also had a decent mashed potato & gravy - both combined were the best..

    ... Don't ask me! I was hired for my good looks!

    In the 1970's when I ordered a Hamburger at Burger Chef I learned they put Mustard and Ketchup in their sandwiches, so I'd have to specify "Mustard Only!" when ordering a 15 Cent burger there

    A brother was Manager at another Burger Chef said to me "Oh you want 'no k plus o' " to me, so I began ordering what I wanted that way.

    That reminds me. I just learned recently that Burger King does orders in a wierd way like that also. Never knew about it for all these years.

    If you order a Whopper with "heavy all" they give you 1.5 times the ingredients (besides the actual burger patty).

    Wonder if your KFC is any different to ours... Ours serve indigestible
    grease laden schnitezengruben that could probably power a 3rd world country
    for a week.

    There chips are good, will give you that much even here... but I'm not sure what it really is they're putting in the spud n gravy... cotton wool and axle grease maybe?

    The missus used to be a manager at Hungry Jacks (read Burger King for the
    rest of the world), when I met her. I'd trundle in and hang out towards the
    end of her shifts. Not ever having had Jacks before that she'd get me
    something while I was waiting and reading the newspaper.

    I'd get some really weird stuff out of that kitchen. A nominal double
    cheesey would have 4 patties in it, or wall to all pickles, or 5kg of cheese, always something weird with it.

    The important bit here is "used to", those days are long gone unfortunately.

    Unfortunately not, KFC here in New Zealand has a well deserved reputation for being as bad as you describe.

    Ahhh so PlasticMan is to blame. There goes the axle grease theory..

    Quoting Poindexter Fortran to Tiny <=-

    started renting when the neighborhood was sketchy, but it's become
    quite hip now. They still paid $780 for it. It looked the worse for

    So when we moved here the Downtown core was sketchy so our rent started
    at $999 a month when the average was $1100. The neighbourhood went hip,
    then covid, nwo it's a drug infected poop hole again. However they are building expensive apartments so it's coming up again. hahah

    what landlords try to pull - since most people aren't aware of the
    law, it makes sense for them. A fraction of the poeple will object,
    like you did, and most will go along with it.

    That's what my daughter told me. She went around the building and told
    anyone who would listen not to sign.

    The "the lease is invalid because the building sold" gets used a lot.

    They try that, but it doesn't work for us. :)

    Nolo Press has some great self-help books on tenant's rights. I don't
    know if they're California-only or have books for all states, but
    they've been a godsend here. They also have forms for most
    tenant-landlord communication for free download.
