I Have Random Thoughts

I don't like chips (fries). I don't like the taste, the feel of them in my mouth when eating them (so many times, they turn mushy, which makes me retch, but worse of all,,,the SMELL! Makes me feel queasy. You will not get me to even walk past a fish and chip shop in the street...not without me feeling very ill! If I'm eating out, I ask for rice or salad instead

I am the same way and I kind of piss people off when I tell them that I don't eat fries except the seasoned ones because it doesn't taste good. I honestly don't see the appeal or hype, fries are overrated & gross.

Perhaps you might try sweet potatoes fries as an alternative? It may just be that you don't care for the potatoes.

I like baked potatoes. I think it must be the greasiness of the frying process. URRGH! Not for me!

I've never been past fries I could actually smell. Makes me wonder if they're done differently over there.

I can’t remember if I had them when I visited the UK. I love them in the U.S. but don’t eat them very often.

@bijouxbroussard Because it burns at a lower temperature and is higher in saturated fat content

@MissTaken Is that so even with light olive oil ? I do have sunflower oil, too—next time I’ll use that for fries.

@bijouxbroussard Olive oil is Olive oil even if they call it light. If you don’t fry things very often it’s unlikely to cause you issues but do try sunflower oil 🙂
