Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

i was suprised to learn recentlyish that most people prefer crispy french fries over soggy ones. the ideal fry is somewhere in the middle but between the two extremes i'll take the sog every day of the week
They're good soggy when they're soaked in something flavorful, like gravy. But like just overly oily, no thank you.
Fuuuuuck I used to make these fries with a buttermilk gorgonzola dressing and chili oil and chili flakes as garnishes. I haven't had them in years
There's a restaurant I go to once in a while (it's out of my way) that consistently makes excellent fries that are a magical. They thick, are long-cut fries with a bit of skin and a hint of edge crispiness. But overall they are kind of limp and soft. The occasional smaller "runt" fries are very crispy, but the longer thicker fries are wonderfully limp and they taste like actual potatoes.
They are not greasy.
Too many fast-food French fries don't taste like actual potatoes to me. They taste like some kind of synthetic starch compound, almost like a Pringles or some shit.
Depends. This might be weird but I like a few soggy McDonald's fries in the bunch of crispy ones. I suppose I can extend that to shoe string fries. But whatever unhealthy capitalist magic McDonald's do to their fries I just dig it.
