Talk:Fry sauce

message: I talked with the manager of the Arctic Circle in Preston Idaho a few years ago, and they claimed that fry sauce originated there in Preston, back in the 40s, not in Utah.  One of their regular customers would mix the white sauce with ketchup for dipping fries in. The manager at that time asked the customer if it would be OK to premix it so others could enjoy it. He gave his permission, and soon Fry Sauce was available at all Arctic Circle drive ins.  Many Utah and Idaho drive in joints followed suit. 
That original Arctic Circle is gone now but one of the old menu boards still remains. It is on display on the East facing wall up high, in the play area of the current Arctic Circle.  It is fun to see the low prices of the day. 
I had always thought Fry Sauce was an American original, but someone from Columbia told me about Golf Sauce, which is the same thing as Fry Sauce, ketchup mixed with mayo. It predates Fry Sauce by several years. (1920's vs 1948)

message: I dispute the characterization of Hires Big H as a "fast food restaurant" on par with Burger King - i.e. diners are waited on at tables, rather than purchasing food at a counter. At any rate, I've just created an article for Hires if anyone wants to argue about it over there. :-)  Ribonucleic 23:59, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Hires not fast

message: I removed the "citation needed" tag from that statement because while I didn't find a reliable source to cite this with I did find a number of non-reliable sources that basically all stated the same thing: Icelanders eat Kokkteilsósa on their fries and it is the same thing as fry sauce.  I don't think that statement is particularly out there so I'm not sure why it needs to be cited, but if someone wants to dispute it then go ahead and add the tag back.  I did add a tag to the statement that Icelanders claim they created the condiment in the 50's because I would like to see that sourced if at all possible.--Isotope23 17:01, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

message: It is my understanding that using shelf stable mayo, fry sauce can easily last a day or more unrefrigerated and when stored in refrigerated conditions it will keep far longer.  Does the comment about spoilage add anything to the article? (it seems exaggerated or possibly inaccurate; Earlier in the article is mentioned fry sauce available via mail order.)

message: I would like a colleague to provide a cite backing up the claim that it is "commonly available in supermarkets", like a brand. I live in London, and never seen it. Irondome (talk) 23:07, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm removing the UK section entirely. I have never heard of this being described as "pink sauce", "burger sauce" is more like a mild salsa than a ketchup/mayo mix and in 40 years I have never seen this available in a British supermarket. — OwenBlacker (Talk) 16:41, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
