A lot of Americans think they love french fries, and they haven’t even tasted great ones during their life.

Like the rosemary touch; wonder how it would work with garlic or chives.

“French” fries are, of course, Belgian.

Jack in the Box has spread to a lot of new locations in recent years.

Until recently, the French didn’t even know what “French Fries” were. They call them fried potatoes instead. It’s the same for “French kissing”.

They look like potato sticks, not fries.

"Jack in the Box has spread to a lot of new locations in recent years."

I just did a search for locations in New York State and came up empty.

‘The Dutch way’ is very tart mayonnaise, chopped onions and a little ketchup. They’re best anywhere.

That sounds awful. Ketchup is all you need. It sounds like they’re trying to cover up bad potatoes. The best come from Idaho.

I soak them in salted water for about an hour before double frying. Let them cool before the second fry. And fried in duck fat for special occasions.

My fave is a soupcon of sea salt + aonori ( dried green seaweed flakes ) . Give it a try someday . NO ketchup necessary .

All salt is sea salt.

Some of the most delicious Chinese food I’ve ever eaten was in a restaurant in Amsterdam.
