    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    It's a stock photo, so it was probably AI generated by Google because of course. You're probably not even looking at a real photo, let alone real food. But my search term was "homestyle fried potatoes," and didn't use the word "roasted" at all. I don't know if that's helpful or not. EDIT...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    My nephew spilled glue all over my deck of Vox Machina poker cards, the one I got for backing their famous Kickstarter. I'll be honest: I'm having a hard time dealing with it.

    Ozzy has passed. Pour one out for the Prince of Darkness.

    One of my favorite covers of "Crazy Train" was performed by a bunch of middle school kids in Louisville. Rumor has it that Ozzy loved the tribute so much that he donated $10k to their school's music program. EDIT: Rumor confirmed. Sort of. [1] [2] (The donation was to a different charity.)

    The freezing also helps make them fluffy...the ice crystals break down the plant cells a bit, and the exterior gets crispy before the inside starts to cook.

    My method for making french fries at home is rather long and complicated, with a ton of steps, but I promise it's well worth it. I urge you not to skip any steps. My technique for making fries at home: Take a spud, scrub it clean and rinse it (do not peel). Chop it lengthwise into 1/4"...

    I've heard them described as the most carefully-engineered food in history. Everything about them has been designed specifically to make them as irresistible as possible, from the size and temperature, to the texture and aroma.

    Critical Role Announces Video Game Development Plans

    Hm. Well, if they put the same effort and quality into it as they do their live show, and their publishing company, and their Dark Horse comics, and their anime series on Amazon, and their new Daggerheart RPG... ...it's going to be awesome.

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    In America at least, all fries except for "Homestyle" are cooked from frozen. If all those "How It's Made" videos are to be believed, all fries--regardless of their shape--are cut, cooked with steam, air-chilled, possibly breaded, sprayed with oil, flash frozen, and then shipped to the grocery...

    Sorry you're under the weather. If it helps, potatoes are a good source of Vitamin C... (Source: USDA) I'm not a doctor, but I am a potato enthusiast.

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    I've been told (in this thread) that American "steak fries" are pretty close to the chips served at many of the UK's "fish & chips" shops. So maybe it's cultural influence.

    I can't believe there isn't a single vote for waffle fries. My niece and nephews would be appalled.

    I guess that's true, these are baked...whereas tots are shredded, then steamed, then pressed and formed, then frozen, then fried. Also not fries:
