Actually Frank I may have misled you. We do not put mayo on fries, we actually dip the fries in the mayo. The mayo is served in a small container on the side, so we can double dip the container is not shared.
You are right about it being newish, it happened in the early 90's. Started
with a chain of restaurants specialised in fries, i.e. different dips with
the fries. It then caught on mainstream. The specialty frie restos, the
chain that started it all, may have gone out of business. I haven't seen
them around or they may have downsized.
They downsized alright! Everybody died of plugged arteries!

And you are right about the hot dogs and mayo, tried it once, did nothing for me. I actually prefer New York dogs with lots of mustard.

Really? I didn't know that. I haven't lived in Montreal for going on 20 years, but I don't recall mayo on frites. I'd have remembered that! <vbg>
It's either a newish thing, or a local/regional thing, I guess.
Now, some of my Quebecois acquaintances put mayo on hot dogs, which I
always thought a bit odd, but who am I to comment? On fries, eh? Maybe Quebec's a Distinct Society after all...
