My neighborhood's particular ethnic balance provides a market for all  
manner of cra-- I mean, stuff on fries. I don't recall ever feeling  
any particular imperative to try any of them, although my wife  
sometimes has the cheese fries, which differ from poutine, I gather,  
in that instead of a homogeneous "cheddar" cheese sauce, poutine  
calls for fresh cheese curds.

Around here chili fries come from Wendy's... 'nuff said.

But here I also see on menus cheese fries, curry fries (I believe  
that's the same curry-flavored white sauce used for "curried chicken"  
-- not even remotely an attempt at Indian or other South Asian  
cookery -- favored in the Eiro-centric diners around here), fries  
with gravy, and fries with curry-flavored baked beans...

"...and a fried egg on top and Spam!"
