I guess I'm a native......I like all three.
I can't believe anyone wouldn't like fry sauce or funeral potatoes. 😁

We do our potatoes in a cast iron pan. Makes it crunchy instead of mushy. It's outstanding.

I remember getting fry sauce at the Artic Circle drive in on 2nd South and 7th East when I was a kid in the early 60's. Dad worked at the gas station on the other corner at nights for a second job.
I hadn't thought about that in years.

I don't either.

1.My ancestors on one side date to pioneer times and one ancestor founded a small town in the SW desert. (Garrison) The other side were Utahns 2 generations before I was born.
2. I was born in Idaho but my folks moved back to Utah when I was 2.
3. I grew up and went to school here and graduated from the U.
4. I then, as an adult, lived in Colorado for 4 years and Nevada for 10.
5. We then moved back and I have been a Utah resident for the last 19 years with no plans of leaving.
6. I dislike fry sauce and funeral pototoes make me gag, but am cool with green jello.

Interpretation? 🤷‍♂️

1. I don't feel qualified to comment on the design of the Idaho state flag.
2. I am apparently not eligible to vote for a new design of Utahs flag but may have enough "gravitas" to render an opinion that the Sego lily flag does NOT look like an anus.
3. Everybody on here despises me because I've been a hated Coloradan and Nevadan.
4. I still like the old flag, but if the powers that be are intent on changing it, then hope that something decent is picked and hope you true blue Utahns pick a good version that includes the Bonneville cutthroat trout. .

Look at the outsider using fancy language like gravitas.

Excellent memory!
My Grandpa and Grandma lived in Murray and when we visited they would go get us Arctic Circles ‘Burgers in a bag’.
There were 10 burgers in that bag and the bag cost one dollar.
I believe AC was on State Street a block or two south of the A&W on 45th or so.
Fry Sauce….yum!

The origin of fry sauce was just a couple blocks from my home in Provo. I remember back in the 60's being able to go over to that location and buying a bag of fries for 75 cents and it was a huge grocery sack full of fries.

I bet the story behind the origin of fry sauce has more versions than the "Strawberry wobbler" does.

No its very clear. It was invented by Don Edwards who started the Artic Circle food chain in the 1940s

I have always heard that it came from the Arctic Circle on 900 East and around 450 North in Provo. That location was just a couple of blocks away from my grandads homestead and where we lived.

Yeah, you may be right. The first place I remember getting fry sauce when I was a kid was at Arctic Circle.

We’ve uncovered the indisputable origin of fry sauce

The story of Utah’s favorite dipping sauce, straight from the mouths of those who invented it.

Well you guys are in luck, since this was just published this summer.

Fry sauce is great. If you don't like fry sauce, you definitely don't get to vote on the flag. I would say you have to leave the state, but we have to have some diversity here. It absolutely disqualifies you from voting on the flag, however. And maybe should trigger some sort of red flag law, or something. (not that kind of red flag law...this isn't a gun thread!)

 

[bowgy]

I think it's a stupid idea to change it. But I am older and don't like most things that change.

I also think that it is a waste of time and money to replace all the state flags.

It has already been established that I don't get to vote on the flag, but the rest seems a bit harsh. Don't I get due process on the red fry sauce law? I actually will eat it sometimes, it just isn't my favorite. Can't say the same about funeral potaotes, I don't like the cheese.

"Funeral potatoes" is a broad term these days. People do all sorts of weird crap to them, making me want to banish them from the state too. But, you know...diversity? Gotta allow some diversity. I'll allow you to not like funeral potatoes, but for anyone in this state that does not like fry sauce, you're going on a watch list.

I mean, I grew up in a different state and we just made our own as kids. "Inventing" fry sauce always made me laugh especially given it's basically Russian Dressing everywhere else and has been around for over a hundred years.

I like the stuff but find the story telling funny. It's like the invention of "dirty soda" and the wars around it a few years ago. We use to go to a soda counter in the Midwest in the 80s as kids that had already been doing it for decades. Not to mention the NY tradition of Egg Creams that have been around for almost 150 years.

I used to order Vanilla Cokes at Gallaxy Diner long before Coke was making Vanilla Coke. That was in the 80s.

But if you try and defame the inventors of fry sauce, so help me I will turn this car around RIGHT NOW!

I’ve been trying to figure out why the sego lilly flag bothered me, and I think I may have discovered the source:

I can see why PBH likes it. He has always been in favor of turning the rest of Utah to be just like Salt Lake City.

 

[PBH]

I'm surprised that the SLC flag doesn't have more colors in it. You know, more rainbows.

There is still hope, PBH. There are no BCT in the design, and more importantly, I don't think the SLC flag has a sego lily. I believe it is a marijuana bud.

SLC flag looks like a butthole.
