CHIPS vs FRIES

waffle fries and curly fries often have some kind of weird breaded seasoning on them that makes them taste kind of yuk. imo.

Curly fries in texas are also called cajun fries and have spices on them. There are gas stations with grills in the corner that serve them and they are grease heaven.

i'm convinced that waffle fries do not retain their heat long enough to enjoy them which is my main beef

They feel too "novelty" for me to give them any serious consideration

This is interesting. I was completely under the impression that "chips" was just the term for "fries" in the UK.

fries=cookies in the uk

fries = crumpets in Australia

I want a hamburger and some Frenchmens' Testicles.

NickB is very right, i voted chips for chip butty reasons.

otm - the chip butty is the highest expression of cuisine, all other food is ass compared to the mighty chip butty

once again aerosmith stands on the side of right.

i don't want to sound critical of posters i love and admire and enjoy but it's a venal sin in my book to describe the components or entireties of chip butties as 'carbs' or 'starch' or 'carbs on carbs' or 'starch on starch'. i also don't describe my loved ones as 'protein' or 'cells on cells'.

truth bomb

Nicely said!

SOGGY FRIES* FOREVER. Crispy ones are OK-ish, but soggy = perfection.

*not distinguishing between chips and fries or any other form of fried potato.

I usually refer to them as "floppy" rather than "soggy."

...which are best eaten threaded onto the tines of a fork.

^^^ can be cooked in the toaster </studentcookerytip>

The packaging says not to but I always do

(not sure why - because the frost around one might melt and short the toaster? this seems kind of improbable so maybe there is a better explanation)

Heinz whatever.

Franco American all the way!

@ the spaghetti-o's post

It's entirely practical. They tend to fall off the fork otherwise.

Have you never heard of a spoon?

red hot faggot balls

I love the idea that there are definable levels of sophistication re. ways of eating spaghetti hoops.

As long as one never, never eats them with a knife.

can't really see any convincing argument as to why baked beans are OK for adults to eat and spaghetti hoops aren't, tbh

why baked beans are OK for adults to eat and spaghetti hoops aren't

Both too sweet, actually

Shit, now I really want to go to a pet store and ask if they have fabulous fat balls.

Baked beans are fine, but spaghetti hoops are way too sweet. Also tinned ravioli, bleurgh.

I still haven't had that chip butty yet. Lunchtime tomorrow, definitely.

Mystery's secret revealed!

thing is, beans are beans. tinned spaghetti is a horrible version of real pasta tho. tinned ravioli used to be a guilty pleasure if I was giving the kids some tho.

i really wish there was a jpeg of the original "Fat Balls for Wild Birds" that Mrs V and Joel found in a pet shop.

How am I going to eat spaghetti hoops on toast with a knife and spoon?

I'll eat cannelini from a can but baked beans, eugh. I don't know but I do suspect that the sauce on your canned ravioli is probably too sweet like it always is here in the States. Overly sweet tomato sauce covered in gross Kraft parmesan always made me want to hurl as a child.

But UK baked beans are different from US baked beans. They're in a tomato sauce for starters and aren't sweet like ours.

this whole conversation is making me want to hurl
adults eat spaghettios?

Oh man snoball you have no idea how ridiculous this sounds to someone unfamiliar with the practice. The first time I saw RS do this I was like "REally? You're going to put Spaghetti Os on toast and eat it with cutlery? But . . . but . . .WAHT?!

How am I going to eat spaghetti hoops on toast with a knife and spoon?

I don't see how it would be any harder than with a fork. Though, if it has to be a fork, I'd just cut up my toast into bite-sized morsels rather than trying to thread spaghetti-os onto the tines of my fork.

what sauce are US baked beans in then? iirc haricot beans were orig served in some kind of sweet treacly sauce by Victorian Britishes

I love spaghettios but eat them like twice a year. That said, they were my go to in college even more so than ramen. Also, I like them cold.

It's not like I'm eating alphabetti-spaghetti.

Or cut my toast into lovely toast points and dip them in the spaghetti-os. I'm sure that's how Emily Post did it.

I mean, credit me with some class, people...

In the United States, Boston baked beans use a sauce made from pork and molasses, and are so popular the city has been nicknamed "Beantown."

do not hate on alphagetti ;_;
