I don't like french fries anymore

[hedges]

Just about the only french fries I can stand are diner fries that are covered in brown gravy.
Burger King fries are nasty, McDondalds fries ain't what they used to be, Arbys, Wendys, just aren't that good. Instead of getting a combo meal, now I just get the burger, go home and drink water with it. I don't know if my tastes changed or what.

I'm with ya, Hedges. Unless I'm at a steakhouse getting those thick fries that actually taste like potato, I can't stand 'em. And I'll take sweet potato fries over regular any day. They're waaaay more flavorful.

Maybe it is just a case of our tastebuds maturing, but greasy fries taste like Crisco and salt. I don't see the attraction at all.

[topless_mike]

make them yourself.
they are soooooo much better made at home.
besided... you can fry them in olive oil, as opposed to canola or sunflower or whatever else those shit holes are using.

wash potato. slice potato. deep-6 that motha and cook till golden brown.

salt, pepper, enjoy.

mmmmmmm

[topless_mike]

ps.... you dont have to "fry" them.... you can bake them as well... yummy...

[CruelCircus]

Hedges, if you have a Nathan's near you, try their fries.

They blow the doors off all the other fast food fries.

[Judge Smails]

Five Guys fries made in peanut oil - FTW!!. Plus they dump a shitload of "extra" fries in the bag.

[Aggie]

What is wrong with you people? I wcould live on french fries if it wouldn't kill me.

I can handle steakfries. And as far as sweet potato fries go, I've only had the chips, and they were awesome. I almost burned down my apartment trying to make them once. Just a little fire in the container.:tongue:

5 Guys fries now make me want to die just thinking about them.

At any other point in my life i would enjoy the 10 servings of extra fries they give. After spending 4 hours attempting to polish off a "small" order i can now concede that they are vomitous.

I can't tell if this is an endorsement or not.

[grlNIN]

Nein.

[boosterp]

You commie! Fries are a corner stone of certain meals.

Bake them and not fry them.

French bakes?

White Castle or Windmill in Jersey...mighty fine.

[torker]

I could go for some Soundboard Fez fries right about now.

[hedges]

White Castle or Windmill in Jersey...mighty fine.

What's Windmill?

[grlNIN]

It's a hot dog place.

[Drunky McBetidont]

it never tastes as good as it looks. the micowave trays it comes with make it soggy and the taoster oven makes it too crispy.

she sucks balls.

sounds like you just hate bad fries.

[Farmer Dave]

They aren't health food, quit trying to cook them in 'healthy' oil you fast food pricks. If some vegan complains about the beef juice in the oil tell them they can go fuck themselves.

Why's that?

yea. they can get carrot sticks

[Drunky McBetidont]

anybody that chooses the baby carrots or the apple slices at a drive threw should be shot on premises. should be a weening question for social darwinism.


club the whales.

I think you're right, but what is odd is I liked these bad fries not too long ago.

[Liverspot]

Local bar/restaurant near me has a potato press that cuts the fries thick. Fries are all made to order.

Fresh spuds are much better than the frozen processed ones used by most fast food places.:thumbup:

gotta double dip the fresh ones. drop em for about 3 min and then pull and let sit for a couple and re-drop for 3 min for crispy.

i am a fan of fresh cut sweet potato fies with a honey dipping sauce. i am a barfly.

--edit-- frozen fries are blanched in oil. ergo the double dip effect for fresh.

I can live with this. This is how fries are meant to be made. If I remember right there was a fry shop on M street in Georgetown that did it this way. That all they sold, french fries, freshly made.

[SatCam]

I like a good french fry, but in moderation. Plus when purchased when eating out they have a huge margin so I always try to avoid them (along with soda). So if I am getting fast food Id rather head over to the supermarket and get a better deal on something like a bag of chips. If I am at a restaurant and Im ordering something that comes with fries, I either try to get them off the bill or sub with something else that doesnt give me a headache afterwards

Yum, I love them fresh and crispy!

This is indeed how they were meant to be made, from an actual potato in hand! Specialty fry shop, that is great!

Tater tots
Love em

[hedges]

Sonic serves tater tots covered in cheese, chili too I think, can't remember. Good stuff.

[grlNIN]

I just ate some with my BLT.

Yum.

[NickyL0885]

Checkers makes the best fries.

[hedges]

tater tots or fries?

[WampusCrandle]

Fries make you fat.

that is just a damn lie

[boosterp]

Why's that?

buy or better yet, cut your own fries.

Season with your favorite seasoning(s)

Heat oven to 400-425

Take a baking pan and pour on some canola (or your choice) oil, smeer it around with a napkin to cover the pan evenly

put the fries on the pan and bake for 18-25 minutes flipping them half way.

This is the best and healthiest way to eat fries. They taste great, have a crisp, and your heart will not hate you.

Was up in Toronto a few months ago and had french fries covered with regular brown gravy. Pretty good considering I bought them from a Street Meat stand, but I've never seen them served that way here in the States.

When I eat at certain places that is the only way I'll eat them, with gravy. A diner I used to frequent in Worcester Mass. had it on the menu like that. In the movie Diner they order their fries with gravy. I have never seen it outside of the east coast as something common.

You've never had disco fries?

I agree with Ninny that Five Guys' fries are awful. Overdone, yuck.

I like a good steak fry once in a while.

Wendy's probaby has the best "fast food" fries. I like my fries with a little bite to them.

You can't beat cheese fries with cheddar, bacon, and scallions.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

diner fries with either Mozzarella Cheese, Gravy or both

FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've heard of them but we would rather deep fry candy bars here in the Midwest when attempting suicide.

You are such a responsible, young man.
