[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's weird because a lot of places under-salt their fries. Also a lot of restaurants use the wrong salt for fries -- you need a finer salt for french fries because it sticks to the fries better when they come out of the frier and therefore you can use less. If a restaurant is using a coarser salt it all winds up on the bottom. Anyway what I usually do is wait until I have tasted the fries and then if they are undersalted, I'll ask for a salt shaker if one isn't already on the table. But I wouldn't be bothered by someone preemptively ordering fries with extra salt because fries need salt. I feel similarly about the fresh tortilla chips in Mexican restaurants -- they don't need as much salt as french fries but they should taste salted. The corn flavor is too bland on its own and the salt will also complement the salsa and bring out its flavor generally (unless it's already salty).[/quote]
