One of those things is the fact some foods simply aren’t great candidates for delivery. Here are three that you should avoid ordering to be delivered.

Nachos

Nachos are one of my favorite treats at Mexican restaurants, as the delicious combination of tortilla chips covered with salsa, beans, cheese, veggies, and sometimes meat is irresistible. However, by the time this dish is delivered to your home, the chips will be soggy thanks to all of those toppings, and it just won’t taste the same.

Ice Cream

It might be tempting to order an ice cream dessert from a restaurant or to simply place an order from your local gelato shop, but unfortunately this food simply doesn’t hold up well for delivery. Meltiness and losses of flavor and texture tend to be the norm when ice cream is delivered.

French Fries

Ordering french fries is a delivery classic, but more often than not you’ll end up disappointed after your fries arrive soggy and cold. Reheated french fries just aren’t the same, and unless the delivery is super quick, they won’t be hot upon arrival. It’s better not to risk it with this side dish.

What do you like dipping your fries into? Have you ever tried any of these three french fry sauces, which are popular in different parts of the world?

Curry Ketchup

Curry ketchup is a popular fry sauce in several countries throughout Europe, such as Germany and Austria. Mixing curry powder into a regular batch of ketchup makes for a fragrant and spiced dip that many people absolutely love.

Mayonnaise

That’s right: in some parts of the world, people dip their french fries in mayonnaise! In the Netherlands, for example, fries are commonly topped with a huge dollop of mayonnaise, which is just a little bit leaner and less fatty than the traditional condiment while retaining all of its ingredients.

Brava Sauce

Spain’s most popular french fry sauce is known as salsa brava. This spicy tomato-based sauce combines olive oil, chicken broth, and hot, smoked paprika to make a sauce that will have you begging for more.

Nachos

No game day is complete without a plate stacked mile-high with warm, cheesy nachos.

Wings

Whether you’re going for a smokey barbecue flavor or a spicy-sweet combo, wings are the classic showstopper for Super Bowl food.

French Fries

Crispy french fries can be especially comforting during an intense game. Try some waffle fries or skin-on fries to keep things interesting!

Pizza

Pizza is probably the safest meal option for watching the game–who doesn’t love pizza? Pepperoni is a fan favorite, but you can also go with veggie toppings for your vegetarian guests. 

Veggie Platter

Because not everything can be cheese and carbs. Perhaps the easiest yet most crowd-pleasing appetizer is sliced vegetables served with some ranch dressing.

Popcorn

It isn’t just movies and TV shows that go great with crunchy popcorn. Your friends and family will go through bowls and bowls of buttery popcorn while discussing the score.

If you try to reheat the fries in the oven, you won’t achieve much. They will pretty much taste like cardboard. Refrying them means that you dip them in oil once again, and you don’t need those extra calories, especially when you won’t really get a satisfying result. One tool that can help you here is a waffle maker.

Don’t expect the waffle fries to taste exactly like fresh fries, but it’s the best you can get. Simply heat the waffle maker to the highest setting and place some cold fries in the center, then close the lid. Once you notice the fries becoming golden brown, they’re done. Transfer to a plate and enjoy them while they’re warm.

Forget about the microwave, that is the worst way to do it. You will first need to preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Get a metal tray that you usually use for the oven that also fits all of the fries. Once you do, you have to get some tin foil and cover the bottom of the pan with it. This is very helpful in preventing the French fries to stick on the pan.

Put the fries over the foil, making sure they don’t overlap. By doing this you will make sure that all of the pieces are equally reheated and none of them fuse together. Feel free to add all the extra spices you love. Once the oven has reached the needed heat, simply put the pan inside. Two or three minutes should be enough. Next time you have leftovers at home try this simple, efficient way to reheat fries.
