fries vs. chips

no votes
? by doubtful

which do you prefer? Personally i am more a fan of the chip, you know chunky and in my opinion nicer....possibly better for you too...though i may have made that bit up

chips

chunky, can absorb more vinegar, and generally nicer. plus, you can cut them into any shape you want. Mickey Mouse shape, Smartie shape, Amphibious landing craft shape, poke in the eye shape.

chips

although i'm sure they're not, they feel less unhealthy to me.

chips

they are real and not reconstructed

well - it depends really

and is determined by many factors. Chips are good as mentioned by shucks becasue they can absorb more vineagar and sauce but then, fries are also good when you want something a bit crispy so as you can see, I am hopelessly divided on this issue.

Chips are larger and are thus healthier.

I love all forms of potato product.

exactly

they have more potato.
potato is a vegetable.
vegetables are good for you.
blah blah blah.

NO.

Something to do with frying and surface areas.
Apparently potatoes don't count in your five-a-day list :(

I heard that too.

And decided to pass it off as pure gossip and LIES.

GOD I'M HUNGRY.

Last night I had McDonalds fries with these new things...mozzarella fried in breadcrumbs. So good.

I'm hungry as well

despite the steak and chips. Could go for a pizza actually....

the sound of the 'new thing'

makes my ventricles hurt.
but they sound GOOD at the same time.

Cheese and grease! What more could you want?

chips are so much better

You can get a suitable amount of HP sauce on them, unlike fries. Also, they are bigger and taste better. Seriously, there is no contest.

nice big chunky chips with the skins on and loads of mayonnaise = the best.

but sometimes you just feel like eating loads of shitty mcdonalds chips.

I only eat McD's

when I'm unhappy.

It's proper comfort food.

Ceraaa | 8 Oct '06, 12:02 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Chips if im at the seaside.

Fries if I'm at home. Only ever eat fast food when I'm in a rush and can't sit down, find the time for a meal.

I find McDonalds great hangover food though.
