Surely the answer is indisputable?

Would you rather eat soggy pork fat or pork scratchings?

Why couldn't we just have ham?

Would a swan/lion slumgullion not be preferred by diners of distinction? Perhaps with crispy fried chameleon on the side?

Served with thrice cooked chips (chunky fries for the State-siders)?

DNSB · 03-09-2024, 12:59 PM

Anyone here patient enough to make thrice-cooked chips? If so, how many hours total do your chips spend in the freezer? Have you tried making them with sweet potato or yam?

Solitaire1 · 03-09-2024, 02:40 PM

Why isn't enough to cook the chips once?

Have you never had the crispy yet fluffy delight that is the triple-cooked chip?

Is this like comparing the UK baked jacket potato with the North American baked potato?

neil_swann80 · 03-09-2024, 11:42 PM

Are they as different?

DNSB · 03-09-2024, 11:58 PM

Have you taken a look at the recipes for a baked jacket potato vs. a baked potato? Did you notice the difference in cooking time and temperature (2 hours at 205° vs. 45-60 minutes at 220°)? Why do I have this sudden urge to watch a Food Network program as soon as the Canucks vs. Jets game is over?

Since I've had so many disappointments with undercooked french fries that I no longer want them and have gone with a bag of potato chips, would a triple-cooked chip be one that is completely cooked so I avoid the taste of raw potato?

neil_swann80 · 03-10-2024, 12:51 AM

I meant... are triple-cooked chips as different to their jacketed counterparts as regards variation in (national) preparation? Why wouldn't I be aware of the superior difference in the preparation for the British jacket spud?

Is it that the cooking process used for a triple cooked chip is less likely to have the uncooked center that is the bane of many a person looking to enjoy a chip/french fry? Is it not true that many places which are producing masses of chips/fries lack the temperature control and time to allow the cooking oil to reach it's proper temperature to allow cooking a chip/french fry so the outside is crispy and the inside is floury?

Did you know the cooking time for a .7x.7cm (length doesn't count) double-fried french fry is about 5-6 minutes at 150°, drain for 5 minutes and then ~5 minutes at 205° so 15-16 minutes compared to the multiple hours required for a triple-cooked chip?

Can we agree that fries are skinny whilst chips are chunkier?
