[Brian in Mesa]

Yea, I’m sure everyone would take back everything they did in hindsight if the result ended up bad. Riveting stuff here.

Not everyone...

Question. I was wondering the other day what do you guys call fries that are chunky?

Here we have chips and fries. Chips being good old fashioned fat "fries" not Chips which are what we call Crisps. You seem to only have fries. Are you missing out on a good old fashioned British chip?

We just call every shape and size "fries".

Quick taxonomy of American french fry names:
Steak Fries are maybe what you call "chunky" which are basically potato wedges that are baked or deep fried. This is sneakily the best kind of fry.
Waffle Fries are essentially potato rounds that are turned into a waffle pattern by some kind of witchcraft. This is the second- or third-best kind of fry.
Crinkle-cut fries are kind of rippley and gross.
Curly fries are the only real competitor to waffle fries as the best. They're like spun edges of fries and highly seasoned. This is the only reason to go to Arby's, tbh.
Fries are essentially potato sticks that are anywhere less than 1/2" (1 cm) on the short edge.
Shoestring fries are extremely narrow (< 5 mm on the short edge) fries that are gross and unneeded.

Don’t but what happened. And if that actually happened, then cut him for being so damn stupid.

You don't know what happened, but cut him if you don't know what happened?

Weird take.

Did Brown miss any time because of the speeding ticket? No. Still immature.

The reason to go to Arby's wasn't the curly fries, it was the potato cakes that they discontinued for some stupid reason.
Carl's Jr has the same type of fries as Arbys.

Right but they are all "fries".

Waffle fries are near the best. Fresh cut curly fries are the best IMO. Tom's BBQ in Tempe used to serve those and they are unbeatable.

I see your Tom's BBQ fries, and raise you ATL fries from ATL Wings.

Not only the best fries, but the best hot wings on the planet... and I have had wings from at least 100 different places, including the two in Buffalo that fight over creating them.

Which Tom’s BBQ? The one on Mill and Baseline? I think there’s still one by the Cards facility on Elliot and Hardy.

I think Tom’s fries are gross — my MiL loves going there tho.

Are all ATL wings the same? There’s two convenient to me. I’ve gotten at both places and they’re good but not transcendent. I probably got the wrong ones tho!

You have to get either the ATL rub, or the Spicy ATL.

We call them 'wedges' up here.

When I was traveling a lot, I had a personal chef. She cooked and put it all in the freezer for me.

@kerouac9 you forgot chili fries.

Nothing to see here.. carry on

Those are toppings and don't count. It's opening a whole can of worms.

The can is labled "Poutine."

My mom was British. Bangers are awesome, I can occasionally get good ones here. Also grew up eating Welsh rarebit and yorkshire pudding. first time I made yorkshire pudding my GF said that's not pudding I thought it was dessert so I explained to her how during the War British people used it to soak up anything they could find to add flavor and it became popular sort of like how Hawaiians and Filipinos love Spam which was made as a meat substitute during the war.

Steak Fries... I think that is the only fry we have in Texas when it is not being offered from a fast food chain

I love me some spam & eggs.

In #birdcity we only eat crinkle cut fries. We know they’re awful but we’ll keep putting them in front of you until you decide it’s not worth fighting over.

Crinkle fries are still fries. As long as they are hot and immediately seasoned... a bad fry is still good eats.

Short fries Steve Keim's undersized draft picks - usually 5'10" or shorter - regardless of position

My dad told me all they had aboard ship in WWII was Spam, Navy beans and sos. If you opened a can of Spam within 20' of him his gag reflex kicked in. btw, I ate tons of fried Spam as a kid. We couldn't afford bacon.

Monty Python sends regards....

That's just confusing! How do you communicate your fries size preference?

If you see "with fries" on a menu do you have to ask "Excuse me. Are they skinny fries or fat fries?"

No wonder China is winning...
