Do you guys put white gravy on Fries?

1. In CA, we don’t really eat gravy of any kind. It looks like it tastes nice though

2. White gravy? Like chicken gravy? I would but typically we just use ketchup or mayo or mayoketchup or nothing.

3. I do not get it ladled over the fries like you would poutine, but if I am getting chicken tenders or eating a chicken fried steak and have fries as a side I will dip them in the white gravy served for the meat.

   White gravy is basically just a modified bechamel sauce. It is commonly served on mashed potatoes, with fried chicken tenders, with fried chicken gizzards/livers, with chicken fried steak, and with biscuits (our American biscuits which are like savory scones, and you typically add crumbled breakfast sausage to the gravy).

4. Why do Canadians use brown gravy? We use both btw but id say white is more common especially down south. And gravy and fries isn’t really a combo but Chicken fried chicken with gravy and a side of fries is. Why not use the gravy for fries.

5. Chicken fried steak, or sausage gravy and biscuits.

6. White gravy goes on turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes, anything else is likely a complete travesty! Biscuits are just guilty by association since they’re used to mop up the delicious gloopy mess.

7. I’d use brown gravy for fries purely because of poutine, otherwise I wouldn’t really think of doing that. Mashed potatoes and turkey would be brown gravy, and since I only ever have stuffing at Thanksgiving I’d say brown gravy for that as well, although I prefer it without.

   I’ve mostly had white gravy for fried meats, like chicken fried steak. Or for biscuits and gravy.

8. By white gravy do you mean sawmill gravy?

   It goes pretty great on a lot of stuff. Fried chicken and mashed potatoes comes to mind. It’s pretty famous on biscuits as well!

9. Absolutely not, but some ranch to dip them in is nice.

10. White gravy is typically on potatoes, but it’s common to have it on a chicken fried steak or with fried chicken. Then I’ll eat my fries with the white gravy.

    Biscuits and gravy is a kind of white gravy with sausage in it, and that’s amazing

11. Brown gravy or even red on fries.

    White gravy on chicken, or biscuits (with or w/o sausage)

12. Cream gravy.

    Not like…poutine style but if I’m at a fried chicken joint or something and wind up with fries I’ll absolutely dunk some in there. The closest poutine parallel is probably chili-cheese fries rather than anything with an actual gravy. Well, for the states where poutine isn’t already popular itself, anyway.

    White gravy is mostly used for southern-fried stuff and mashed potatoes. Also biscuits and gravy of course, but sausage gravy hits different even if the process is quite similar.

13. Gravy on fries isn’t really a thing here, but I love poutine anyway.

14. White gravy goes on biscuits (for me)

    I think it would be good with fries as a dunk but I’ve personally never come across that combo

15. I can’t speak for anyone else but I’ve never seen anyone put any sorta of gravy on fries here. Mostly only ketchup.

    We mostly put gravy on mashed potatoes.

16. Where I’m from, white gravy is primarily for fried chicken (e.g., chicken tenders), but it’s absolutely not weird on fries if you already have some on hand for the chicken. You can get it at DQ.

    Similar to ice cream. I’m not going out of my way to get ice cream to dip my fries in. But slightly melted soft-serve vanilla ice cream is a shockingly delicious condiment for fries.

17. Ketchup goes on fries.

18. Hash browns

19. White gravy is good for chicken fried steak, for the base of sausage gravy for biscuits and gravy, for chicken fried chicken, for fried chicken and mashed potatoes, and dunking chicken tenders in.

    I’m not feeling it for fries.

20. A chicken finger meal at Dairy Queen used to come with a little cup of white gravy and I’d dip it in the fries.

    In general white or as I’d say, sawmill gravy, is for biscuits and gravy, country fried steak, chicken fried chicken, etc. It’s not really associated with fries, alright I’d be down for a sawmill gravy poutine.

21. Not a thing here. We use ranch dessing, ketchup, chili.

22. I wish we did more poutine… seems like a no brainer for Americans but we’ve barely adopted it.

    White gravy with sausage is for biscuits and gravy and maybe chicken fried steak.

23. I never have

24. White gravy on fries not really.

    But you put that on a good omelet or a breakfest bowl and it’s amazing. Or with just toast

25. This is weird. I was at DQ the other day and one of my favorite things to do is to dip my fries in country gravy.
