Yup...And I still don't get it.
That means you are one of the 90%, Mike.

Raw cloves of garlic with Polish smoked sausage.

Diet Seven-Up with light beer (1:3).

Tom those last two just don't sound right at all...how did you ever get to diet 7-up and beer?? Was it that you had an ice cold can of diet 7-up and the beer was warm so you had to do it? I've never heard of it, but I guess you only live once so now I'll have to try it myself sometime. FYI- cheap port gets reduced in a sauce pan at my house...it makes an awesome glaze or desert topping!

Actually it's an Irish/English drink called a Shandy. The Irish make it with "red lemonade" which is a carbonated soda that tastes similar to 7-Up. I use diet 7-Up and light beer just to reduce the carbs. Try it - it's surprisingly good as a light summer drink.
My cellar has only Portuguese and Australian ports with vintages back to 1963, but my local watering hole only stocks cheap port. A splash of orange juice fixes it right up, but I would never ruin a real port.

I suppose you mean "... chips to most of the rest of the English speaking world."
The suggestion of mixing ketchup and honey makes me nauseous. I'd rather dip my fries in mayo.

Last year I was at a fast food joint in Montana and saw two dispensers, one "ketchup" and one "frysauce". I remember thinking, isn't ketchup fry sauce?

In the US, fry sauce refers to a mix of ketchup and mayo.
If I translate "fry sauce" literally into German (Bratensoße), it means a sauce made from fond.

Yeah, I saw other patrons with little cups of mysterious pale orange goop and figured that's what it was. Tried some myself, wasn't bad. When in Rome...

I like them that way.
Most any hot sauce works good too.
I just tried a KFC grilled chicken meal. Not bad for fast food. I had them hold the gravy on the mashed potatoes and I used their hot sauce instead. Much better than the runny brown library paste KFC calls gravy.

I mix vanilla ice cream (not only...) with Marsala or rum.

Interesting... I never liked that combo personally, but when I go to Arby's, I do mix the "horsey" sauce (horseradish mayo) with the "Arby's" sauce (barbecue sauce), to get my own delicious "frysauce".

Since living in Germany years ago, I've taken to the mix of ketchup and mayo on my fries.
I try not to have fries too often, but when I do, I make them as unhealthy as possible
I also acquired a taste for Spezi

Vanilla wafers, spread with Peanut butter(make mine crunchy!), topped with a chocolate chip or three.

You aren't supposed to mix the ketchup with the mayo. You should alternate between the two.
Spezi? Do adults drink that now?

Sure they do, only they mix it themselves and use Diet Coke and a lot less Fanta Orange.
