What are /ck/'s thoughts on them?
I could eat nothing fries all day every day.
But i limit myself to once a week.
>>7410927
They're tasty and versatile. I approve.
>>7410927
Mainly I wonder: Do Trump supporters refuse to call them freedom fries, since Trump opposes the Iraq war just as much as France?
I pan fry them in creamery butter with a little garlic, then add a dash of crushed black peppercorns.
at least post real fries and not toothpicks
I prefer chips.
>>7410957

No more please. Deep fry them until they are almost brown.

Try some salt on your fries, it works amazingly well.
>>7410927
They're the king of the casual sides. People are missing out by just adding salt and ketchup though. Salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic salt at minimum. Garlic parm is GOAT, or load those bitches up with chili, cheddar, bacon, & jalapenos, or gravy and cheese curds. Fuck yeah.

Waffle Fries Master Race
Fast food fries?
Condiment delivery system.
Generally not worth the price, in calories or cash, compared to getting something else from the menu as a side. Penn station comes to mind for really decent fresh fries, but they are an outlier.
Restaurant fries?
Filler for the kids menu usually. Occasionally you will run into someplace that has really awesome fries, either through seasoning, prep, or toppings, and they can be okay.
Homemade fries:
Depends on you, like everything else homemade.
That was a really long non-answer.
sweet potato fries are fucking awesome
i never had waffle fries or curly fries in my life tho. my mouth is watering right now. god i hate living here.

Did anyone ever try double/triple cooked fries? Wondering if it's worth the hassle to try and make them at home.
>>7413464
Absolutely. It's really not much of a hassle and it makes far better fries than single-frying them.
I'd suck cock for some french fries
>>7413464
I always double fry, it's not a hassle. Fry the first time on 325 until they float, fry the 2nd time on 400 until they are golden, ponyboy

After not eating them for months, they taste like boring empty carbohydrates. I can't enjoy them any more.
>>7413586
It's no biggy and I'm no gramps, the point being that we could have taken khadaffi out in the 1980's but France prevented it.
History is what it is. It only takes looking it up.
>>7413610
Hey, there ya go champ. You got to display that wonderful little nugget you were so eager to share. Way to go! :^)

I don't understand. What exact nugget would that be? French trechery? Keeping Khafaffi alive for 20+ years then claiming they did him? HA HA HA
That's a nugget for the french, like a fuckin milk bone.

Okay partner, no need to worry Qaddafi is dead and the french wont bother you any more... Maybe have some soup and take the helpful pills that will make the voices stop.

Because and isn't a word in french, frites is. Potato is pomme de terre in french and we don't translate that literally
>>7413644
If they wanted to call the dish steak and fries, it would be steak et frites. It's not. It's steak frites, or steak fries.
>>7413644

Fuck I love french fries
>>7410927
Someone at my uni wrote a paper about it, i just happened to walk by when he was presenting the poster. Since i like the science behind cooking i just had to stop and listen.
Stuff i learned: Europeans and Americans like a different look and feel to their fries.
America: yellow fries with white interior, like a really crunchy outer layer. Most used potato variety for fries is the Russet. There is no real preference for fine or larger fries but on average they are finer then European fries.
Europe: golden fries with yellow interior, slightly browned tips. The inside is a lot softer. Most used potato variety for fries is the Bintje. Fat content is a little higher then american fries but they also contain less starch and more moisture inside. This results in about the same caloric density. When looking at the dry weight american fries are heavier.
>>7413681
Undercooked trash.
>>7414054
It's like I'm really eating solidified oil.
This is what you cocksmokers want. A proper fucking chip, greasy, melt in your mouth, covered in salt and vinegar.
I really do pity Americans. Fries are nice, but they'll never even come CLOSE to a chip. In terms of fast food, the chippy is the absolute king, no other place can even compete with the amount of food you get for the money. There's a reason you'll find a couple in every fucking town with a population over 5.
>>7414628
>This is what you cocksmokers want.
No, it's not. I love the salt and malt vinegar but the soggy texture is just plain offputting.
I do like chippies as far as fast food go though. Not because of the volume--who gives a shit about that. We eat too much as it is. But the fact that the food is cooked to order instead of reheating some factory-made slop is a good thing.
>>7414628
Battered sausage and curry sauce is better than fish n chips tbg
I only make fries when I visit my mom because she has a really cool cooking machine that makes awesome fries with a very low amount of oil. Pretty great
>>7414655
Curry sauce is a matter of taste, but taking a fucking shitty sausage over a nice slab of fish makes you insane.
>>7414628
As a fellow Brit, those are shit. They look soggy and bland. I'm not keen on skinny French fries either but you can still take a proper chip and cook it well. They should be thick, with a crisp coating and a soft mushy inside. Heston's method for triple cooking yields perfect results.
You might have grown attached to those but they're just crap.
>>7414670
>nice slab of fish
Never had such a thing from a chip shop, familiar
>>7414695
>They look...bland
They sound delicious though!
>>7414695
A crisp coating and a soft inside just don't go together, though. Chips should be flexible and pliable. If you want crispy, get some fries. You get way more crisp for the weight.
All the double and triple cooked bullshit chips I've tried are just sodden with oil, you constantly get chips with oil filled pockets that just taste like shit.
>>7414670
>Gloucester sausage shitty
lmao no its fucking god tier sausage
>>7414715
>A crisp coating and a soft inside just don't go together,
Sure they do. That's the whole point--the texture contrast between the two. If I want something that's soft I'll eat mashed potatoes, mushy peas, etc.
>>Chips should be flexible and pliable. If you want crispy, get some fries
Chips = fries. Just different terms used in different countries.
>>get chips with oil filled pockets that just taste like shit.
that's shitty indeed. There's no excuse for pockets of oil. that's just plain bad cooking.
>>7414732
>Chips = fries. Just different terms used in different countries.
Chips & fries are different famagusta
>>7414715
>A crisp coating and a soft inside just don't go together, though.
How the fuck do you have your roast potatoes then? It's a perfect combination of textures used in loads of food. You're an old faggot who's stuck in the 70s unwilling to broaden your horizons, at the expense of genuine enjoyment.
>>7414743
I much prefer them fairly uncrispy. It's not like they suddenly become mash if you don't crisp the fuck out of the outside.
>>7414732
>>7414715
i cook triple cooked chips regularly, for my catering business and everyone always says the same thing "these are the best chips iv ever had"
>>7414760

I agree, but only when it comes to Chik fil A's waffle fries. Haven't had any that were particularly amazing outside of those.
>>7414765
They go excellently dipped in gravy. There's a chippy by me that prepares them just like that and does really good gravy. Only downside is you have to wait 10 minutes or so since everything is cooked to order.
>>7414765
They look oily as fuck.
Would eat/10
>>7414760
I'm not implying they turn into a mush, I'm saying medium-cooked chips and roast potatoes, soft but with a bite, have a horrible grainy texture and taste like shit. It seems unanimous that chips and roast potatoes are best served crispy outside and soft inside, and thin crispy french fries aren't remotely the same so don't pull that shit.
>>7415151
They're oily because you boil them til they're scruffy outside and very nearly falling apart. The ruffles and scuffs catch the oil, which gives them their crispiness.
>>7414788
That combination of the soggy chip malt vinegar dip and triple cooked chips is genius.
>>7410951
>freedom fries
Seriously? Did that actually catch on with people? I haven't heard that shit in over a decade
>>7414655
what kind of sausage? I feel like curry wouldn't go all that well with most kinds I can think of, although to be fair I dont know what britbong curry tastes like
>>7415190
It was never even used by people immediately after 9/11. Fucking nobody called them "freedom fries." The only place you ever heard that name was on the news. And the news rarely tells you about reality. It's mostly sensationalism, propaganda and agitprop.
>>7415244
its a VERY mild corn currie ...just google chip shop curry recipes it is delicious.. the sausage has to be gloucester sausage.
>>7415178
i do my roast potatoes the same way but i use vivaldi potatoes ...they are extremely low carb and have amazing flavor and slightly sweet
>>7415144
i always have them with ketchup or chip shop curry sauce

Not OP but I have lived in the UK for a year now and I cannot stand their way of speaking, especially here in bristol. They seriously call donuts "iced rings"
>>7416141
That must be a Bristol thing, every English person I know calls a doughnut a doughnut.
>>7414628
This is EXACTLY what the chips look like at the shop next door to my work. They are the worst, I am pretty sure he makes them at 2pm and keeps them heated til 8pm. I only go there when im too busy to go on a half hour break. Instant regret after eating 3 or 4.

I like French fries, but I like different styles cooked differently.
Shoe string - crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, lots of salt
Curly fries - again, crisp on the outside, but a bit less fluffy, and a bit more baked potato
Steak fries - in the trash
Wedge/jojos - heavly fried, baked potato texture
Crinkle cut - crunchy, almost non-existent interior if possible

British "chip shop curry" is an extremely mild fruit-based curry: apple, onion, garlic puree, curry powder, vegetable stock, flour and you're done. It's not absolutely uniform everywhere - in particular, some chip shops owned by those of Chinese background tend to make their own which is closer to the Chinese takeaway curries and often well worth trying - but 99% of chip shops buy from the same supplier, and that is their recipe.
Being fair, although it's good, the German currywurst invented it first and is infinitely superior: as are the German sausages.
Thin sweet potato fries are amazingly good. Served with baconnaise they are fantastic, although baconnaise is an absolute bastard to make.
>>7420531
iv had many german sausages and iv never found one that beats the Gloucester sausage
Poutine is the best
Fries are an important part of that trinity
>>7420464
They weren't told to man up. They were told to keep out of sight and maybe just die out.

slackware?
In Australia we call potato crisps, chips.
Deep fried or baked thick cuts of potato are called hot chips or just chips. We also beer batter them sometimes and call them beer battered chips.
The real thin cut ones like McDonald's does are called fries, French fries or shoestring fries.
I used to love them as a kid, like beg my mom or anyone who could buy them for me but I hate them noways. I bought myself some fries from mcdonalds and they were fucking disappointing, couldn't even finish it. Even fries from a non fast food restaurant tastes like ass. Just salty as fuck and dry and greasy.
They are an objectively bad food. Would not recommend.
So if the thin ones are fries and the fat ones are chips, what are these round ones called?
>>7423202
Too me those look to fat to even be "crisps" as those europees ca them.
Look almost like medallions.

>>7410927
