way to go for growing your own spuds! frites all around!

The way hamuburgers rot doesn’t mean anything specific.

And the way MacDo French fries do not rot can only tell that they where cook hot enough to kill many germs (as far as I know). How is taht bad?

No two potatoes are created alike. The truth is there’s no potato like the Idaho when it comes to making fries. The secret is that Idaho potatoes have very little water content. This is the key. If your soil resembles Idaho soil, you’re on the right track. If you really want to enjoy eating potatoes in France, try the new spring potatoes, lightly sauteed or boiled with butter an parsley. (Healthier than fries!)

The best fries I’ve ever had were in Belgium…but, that may simply be because I lack the space to grow spuds here in Paris & also lack the energy to grow my own potatoes – but am now curious to try out some “homegrown fries”.

oh yes my parents always said it was the potatoes. Les patates nouvelles ne marchent pas, they would even add. I love homegrown potatoes. See me grow very jealous and envious here!

real food is supposed to break down, you know, biodegrade/decompose like the other fries (the real ones) in the experiment. that’s how nature works.

we have two kinds of potatoes, parisgirl, but i honestly don’t even know what they are i love idaho and yukon gold potatoes!

i need to go back to belgium to try the fries!

bea, i’d send you some if i could. we have tons!

I never make French fries, and seldom buy fast food, so, needless to say that I don’t eat fries very often. Yet, it’s something I really love. Heck, how can you be a Ch’ti and not love fries? I miss the fries my mother would make when I was a kid (she now buys frozen fries, which is anathema to me.)

Hey, maybe I’ll try making fries very soon – I have a deep fryer somewhere in this house.

Vive les moules frites de ch’nord!

Take a bottle of milk, the kind you’d buy in a supermarket, pasterized and all. Keep it in the bottle for three months, without opening it. Now see what it looks like (I don’t say smell or taste, just see). It’s still liquid, still white, you couldn’t distinguish it from fresh milk. Does it mean milk in bottle is as dangerous as MacDonalds French fries? There are a lot of reason to say These fries are bad, for health, anything. But the fact it doesn’t biodegrade as fast as bread and meat isn’t a proof of anything bad.

ewj, i’m just going to have to say i don’t agree with you.

Ewj, you took a wrong example, you need to open the bottle of milk, warm it up and then put it back in a bottle. I can guarantee the bottle will explode in your fridge after 15 days and you’ll get some sort of yoghurt all over your fridge. ( happened to me once, hehehe )

Basically your milk equivalent example says, take frozen fries and keep them frozen.

Never said to keep the milk in the freezer. Never said to warm it too. If you haven’t oppened it, and it’s pasteurized, you don’t need to freeze it, do you? Maybe I’m wrong, I’m far from being an expert, but I assume germs don’t survive a 30 second bath in boiling oil, then too few of them had time to settle on the fries between the time they were selled and the time they were put under the cover… We just need to try a single experiment. Take the same fries, put them in you garden for a week, prevent animal (and you neighbor’s son) from eating them too much, and see if the result is the same. I don’t know what will happen. But I think they’ll biodegrade, simply. It’s worth trying. A shame I don’t have a garden^^

I admit I can be totally wrong, but then I just want to understand why, if it’s because germs don’t like McDo french fries too, of if even when they rot, fries look great. Make the test, and tell us :p

Well it seems to me that McDonalds is inventing a new generation of Space-Age Food Items. I mean, think about it. Food that never spoils…

Maybe in the future the military will realize the potential of McDonald fries on the battlefield.
