I'll take mine drenched in vinegar & sprinkled modestly w/ strong blue cheese plz

& plz make sure the salt shaker is FULL

hey i just went and checked the cupboard cos we've got this hot sauce from the Indian store which I assumed was from that neck of the woods but apparently it's from Louisana! It's called Crystal and it must be for export cos there's lots of Urdu-looking text on the label.

Good waffle fries are great.

Right? They have to be good ones though.

Man, I never realized I had so many opinions about fried potatoes.

see the sad thing is I realized I have

I've had Crystal. This one, right?

fried potatoes are a complex & important subject

hahaha

Yes well, it is pretty serious business.

I forgot about Waffle fries!!! I think the only place I ever have waffle fries is Chick-Fil-A.

then you have not had waffle fries, son

x-post We don't have those here but you don't really see waffle fries that often.

My dad had them in his restaurant for a while and they were so good because he used to season them perfectly.

Yeah Michael that's the one, the label on mine is a little different but obv the same product. It's alright, not a lot different to regular Tabasco tbh.

Encona, from Jamaica I think, is fantastic and fierce.

Point in the the right direction, anywhere in the south at least?

actually last time we went to Beverley there was a market stall selling home made pepper sauces and I meant to get some and forgot. will rectify.

i think if every chip i've eaten in my life was gathered together in a pile it would form a giant chips mountain.

pubs & divey/greasy burger joints are your best bet for seeking out good waffle fries. dunno about the south, but this place in Ann Arbor, MI specializes in them (and does a very good job of it): http://www.ashleys.com/pubbites.html

xp to JS

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.

Heinz spaghetti

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."

Also, spaghetti hoops...

...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!

are u 4 yrs old

@ 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

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.
