MIA

Also when you take out the leet-speak it's more clearly another album with the real name of an artist with a stage name, like Todd Smith or Reg Strikes Back.

I think my favorite part of the article was how the meaning of 'paper planes' became a running joke throughout the article

mia needs to get off our lawn with that funny typography shit am I right

read my first hipster runoff post ever thanks to this thread and some of the posting styles on ILX just make a whole lot more sense now.

dyao with the brutal burnsauce there

truffles served with brutal burnsauce.

lol no disrespect in ten did. just didn't know that all this stuff had genesis you know

hahaha

well, no, but it's not really the thread for this

to be fair it's not really the thread for maya arulpragasam either, FORKS

shrug

the main thing this has all done is make me wish there was a place in town where i could get truffle fries.

i mean, just look at those.

i should not read m.i.a. controversy threads before lunch.

boo. down with truffle oil. fight the real enemy.

truffle oil spills are the most delicious kind of oil spills.

I had honestly never heard of truffle fries before this thread. Still there appear to be all of three places you can get them in London so yay.

^^^ srsly, i had never heard of these but now WANT

I think I've had them before but it was the $5 variety and they were okay. what I really want are some fries double or triple fried in duck fat.

ya go for real good fries that actually taste like fries imo

not ones that taste like a parody of what truffles smell like

seriously, once you sour on truffle oil you can't even smell it w/o being vaguely grossed out

duck fat fries can eat a dick and not just 'cause I'm veggo, either. the idea of making great fries is not to infuse the highest fat content imaginable into them, the idea is to his this rich/light combo perfectly & then put some flavor on 'em that costs at least $1000 a grain. try my peruvian flake fries sometime, they are the bomb

hit this rich/light combo I mean

there's a place in Denver that has Thai Ginger fries and "mac and cheese" fries ... i haven't been there. they've also got truffle fries. $7. Better be good, MIA!

duck fat shouldn't INFUSE fries with fat

anyway, why would you take perfectly good fries and cover them in that shit is my point

sounds like a way to compensate for bad frymaking technique

wait are you saying people eat truffle fries for a reason other than for its taste?

xps

I eat truffle fries because my captors say they'll kill me if I don't

you know, I was reading about weird cooking oils and people kept on mentioning rice bran oil as a great oil for deep frying as it imparts a 'lightness' to the final product. apparently japanese chefs love to fry up some tempura with it.

also, avocado oil is supposed to be good and has the highest smoke point of any oil ever. man some fries fried in avocado oil would be pretty good I bet.

I made some homemade fries using peanut oil. did the whole parboil first/high heat fry afterwards. they were good but I dunno if it was worth the effort. I deep fried a big mac afterwards using the oil. : |

i was on a culinary tour last month and at the japanese place we went to, the chef was talking up rice bran oil. never heard of it before.

I use coconut oil.

where? LET'S GO

rice bran oil thing intriguing

weird that it didn't come up in the MIA piece

it'll be in the unedited version

Goose fat >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all other substances for frying chips in.

Just behind Tate Modern, for like £3.95. These are the fake truffle fries, right?

i will <3 maya so much if she changes the album name to truffle fries.

she should change her name to 'mayo' for maximum effect too

ha

what can you get for 10 dollar?
ALL THE TRUFFLE FRIES

WHY HAS EVERYONE GOT TRUFFLE ON THEIR MIND?

aaaand let's wrap it up there.

hey while we're here am I the only guy who ends up singing "my posse's on broadway" when I hear "paper planes"

I've been hearing NEWS IS AN OPINION to the tune of "Language is a Virus" by Laurie Anderson

Probably wise.

This place looks worth a go as well. Agatha Christie!

Signature dish: Wagyu burger served in a brioche bun with truffle fries.

I don't actually have the slightest clue what this involves.

losing touch with what made you human iirc

this is everything wrong about restaurants these days

wagyu = kobe beef

I propose a Truffle Fries FAP, where all of us wear gold jewelry that comes with a bodyguard

it's like the two most cliche things put in dishes to make them seem fancy and justify charging a shit ton of money, all done up in the whole "expensive comfort food" fashion
