In the southeastern U.S. vinegar is likely to be available for putting 
on french fries, at least in "down home" type resteraunts and barbecue 
joints.  Or maybe this is just an Eastern NC thing-since the BBQ sauce 
is basically vinegar and red pepper flakes and there's always more sauce 
for topping the BBQ.  I like vinegar better than ketchup. (My daughters, 
just to annoy me, insist on dipping their fries in mustard.  Or maybe 
that's just so I won't snitch their fries.) 

I've never seen butter put out for dabbing on hush puppies except for 
here in central NC. The idea of putting more fat on a fried food boggles 
the mind. 

Bonne (southern, but not from these parts)
