One of my all time favorite BAD foods is Cajun Sweet Potatoe Fries dipped in Spicy Mayo. Fries dipped in mayo is a southern thing. I once learned this back in grade school, a fellow ballerina in my class was from the Carolina's and had told me down south, mayo is the ish. Not sure if its true but I can say this, I was hooked form the first fatty dip!
