REEAAALLY late to leave a comment but was looking through the archives at poutine articles.

‘Irish curry’ is, I assume, the same sort of curry sauce that is usually put on fries in Ireland and to a lesser extent the UK. It’s usually called ‘curry chips’ and is usually made from McDonald’s curry sauce (made by an Irish McDonald’s family, nothing to do with Ronald and co.), an instant mild curry.

Another classic here is the ‘three in one’ which is chips (fries), curry sauce and fried rice. We’re not known as an unhealthly nation for nothing

[...] late-night East Village standby gets plenty of props for their double-fried Belgian fries and wide array of dipping sauces, but they also deserve credit [...]

@ Maids: I’m pretty sure that the brown sauce above is the Irish Curry. I’m not certain what the base of the sauce was (slightly sweet, I guess) but it had plenty of curry powder. I don’t think it was HP sauce or anything like that. It was similar to the sauce they served with the currywurst that I had in Hamburg, but I’m guessing that doesn’t get you any closer to a solution, does it?

@Yvo: You confirmed my suspicion…they are pre-blanched. And always ask for the especial, even if you’re getting another sauce!

I love all of their sauces, war sauce, peanut sauce, pesto mayo, roasted garlic mayo, rosemary garlic mayo, mmm some other stuff too whatever. I think you have to ask for especial sauce though cuz I never get that lol. Mmm pommes frites. Damn you tvff. I wasn’t even up to ES on my feed but I saw this on Gansie’s FB and I was all, hello my pretty…

PS The fries are fried once partially then set aside for finish-frying when they’re ordered

wow, what a list of sauces. I think they need a touch more of the east – I see the teriyaki sauce, but I bet some mongolian dragon sauce and some other soy saucey mixture would be good too. Also harrissa is damned good on fries. mmmm hmmmm.
On to other topics: irish curry? please to explain!!!!
