fries of doom
Another great product of France…
idk, I suddenly have a strong craving for burgers and fries.
You must be a great big fat American!
:troll troll troll:
First created in Belgium, not France.
wow, that’s great…
Fries aren’t a french product, you silly american! Fries were originally developed in the great country of Belgium. You know, the one that has no government. The best ones are still served here as well.
OOh! I love your great waffles!
Don’t worry, chips are different from fries.
BRITISH PEOPLE GET YOUR ADS OFF MY DEADLY FRIES PAGE!!! YOU ARE THE REASON WE ARE SO FAT!!!
SURREY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA.
I live the town over from it and get that ad ALL THE TIME.
Woo Guildford?
YES! Guildford!
Looks more like a WIN to me~
I agree, fish and chips taste awesome.
Actually I think it is a brilliant add placement. They talk about good food as being a reason to die, and here is an add for the best fish and chips in Surrey, Advertising 90% off.
Guess it depends on what view point you look at it from.
Can we put all of these into the same category? Something like “OP doesn’t understand how keyword ad placement works FAIL”?
This looks like a retarded blog to me. No fail here, so please remove this from failblog.
commentary fail!! mcdonalds fries are the best ever!!
Nothing normal about you. Go try some real food!
I concur. The blogger is a pretentious snob. There is nothing wrong with the fries from Mcdonald’s, you just don’t need to eat tons of it like a pig.
everything seems to kill you nowadays.
Either that or give you cancer.
theres a big difference between english chips and american frence frys, french frys soak up more oil when there cooked
A fried sliced potato is a fried sliced potato. It hardly matters what one calls it. Correctly fried french fries [note the correct rendering of the plural] don’t soak up more oil.
No, french fries [yeah yeah i spelled it worng last time] are much thinner that chips from a british chippy and therefore soak up more oil. (don’t bother arguing back, im a chef. I know this.)
So, you say a thinner (less volume) slice of potato soaks up more oil than a thicker (more volume) one. Astounding logic.
Please, tell me where you are a chef so I can avoid to eat at that place.
He’s correct.
This is from New Zealand but science is science. http://www.chipgroup.co.nz/industry-standards/chip-size.aspx
Oh and its surface area of the chips that is the issue, not the volume.
But still. French fries have a larger surface area than English chips.
No they don’t.
That’s like saying a pencil has a larger surface area than a house brick.
What? When you would cut them out of the same potato then the French fry would have a smaller surface than the chip because the chip is thicker. Get it now?

Maybe I am confusing something here. French fries are thinner than English chips, or am I wrong?
Oh, I made a mistake in my last comment, it should say “French fries have a smaller surface area than English chips.”
I linked to a site above but the comment is awaiting moderation. Here is the main point copied and pasted.
The fat content of hot chips depends on both the thickness and the cut of the chips.
Thick-cut chips (>12mm) absorb less fat than thin-cut chips.
The Ministry of Health recommends adults eat about 60g fat each day.
I get it now…I was being stupid, I thought about it like a beer can can hold less than a keg, but that’s not the reason why thicker chips are absorbing less fat than thinner fries. Regardless, I am looking forward to that link.
And, gurtol, I am taking back what I said. I guess, you’re good chef. ; )
No problem! Hurrah all are happy.
Just to clear it up completely, here is what Wikipedia says on the subject:
Cooking fat penetrates a relatively shallow depth into the potato during cooking, thus the surface area reflects the fat content proportionally. Chips have a smaller surface area per unit weight than French fries and thus absorb less oil per weight of potato. Chips also require a somewhat longer cooking time than fries.
So one chip has a larger surface area than one fry.
But 100g of chips has a smaller surface area than 100g of fries. Therefore gram to gram the chips have a smaller area to absorb te fat.
Oh, thanks for that. I guess, I could have looked it up for myself…
And wow, an argument on teh Internetz without RAEG…ok, a little bit of RAEG in my fіrst comment.
Excellent Jim Hawk.
Please note that frenched sliced vegetables are also known as julienne slices.
I eat a lot of fried potatoes. I fry them at home like my Mother and Grandmother did. There are many different ways to fry potatoes. We never called them french fries, either.
Because of the difficulty of buying rendered beef tallow or pure lard (not hydrogenated) I now fry in olive oil.
My fried potatoes are not greasy or oily, either.
I can’t eat the fast food french fries. They are horrible. Besides studies have shown that the vegetable oils used break down into carcinogens after one heating . Lard or beef tallow doesn’t break down as rapidly and can be safely re-used.
No, I’m not fat. I’m 72 years old and work on a Texas ranch. It was 109 yesterday and I was outside, in the sun all day, doing trailer maintenance.
72 & a Texan? i call bullshiz. no way you’d be using the internets if you were either of those descriptions, let alone both.
on another note- they misspelled the artist’s name in the article. “Gret” should’ve been “Greg”… fail.
Fast food can beharmful? Who knew?
Chips and frnech fries are not the same thing. Chips are 100% potato. Fries are 0.1% potato.
*french
The days when Americans were told by right wing conservatives to rename French Fries Freedom Fries just because the French did not support the idea of the US going into war with Iraq. The same war that bankrupted us and had nothing to do with 9/11.

This image speaks to me more as a symbol of american imperialism than heart disease. show me a 400 pound person wheeling around walmart with cart full of junk food, then yeah, i can see heart disease.
mcd’s french fries are one of the best in the business.
Dunno. That ad just makes me want to go shooting…
