World Wide Fries: How People Around the Globe Get Their Fry Fix

When it comes to universally loved foods worldwide, fries are a safe bet. Whether you prefer them homemade or from a fast-food bag, chances are you can’t eat just one. While some Americans adorn their fries with wild topping combinations, most stick to the classic combination of fry, salt, and ketchup.

However, on the subject of fry toppings, that’s where nations across the globe tend to disagree. Though you’re probably familiar Canadian poutine with gravy and cheese curds, how about Vietnamese “khoai tai chien” with butter and sugar? That’s right — butter and sugar.

In this video, get a glimpse into the wide range of regional fry favorites, from Kenyan “masala chips” to Dutch “patatje oorlog” with mayo, onions, and peanut sauce. Of course, American chili-cheese fries also get a shoutout, but with so many different unique combinations to try, even those are starting to look pretty plain.
