French fries and salt.

[Saddlepoint]

Context takes too long.

The question is not whether you would personally choose to put salt on your french fries. The question is, is it considered weird for somebody to add salt to french fries? The question regards all kinds of french fries equally.

No, but I never do. Salt and sugar are the two instinctive favorite tastes that humans like, so most people will like them even in extremely high amounts on almost any dish and think it tastes better. Even if it basically obliterates the taste of the dish entirely. We like what we like. And that's salt and sugar.

But many foods taste fine on their own. Potatoes can be dull, especially if they're cold. Cold french fries definitely taste better salted. But hot fries, especially good steak fries, taste fine without salt. I usually try to eat less salt and less sugar in every dish to see if I can discover what it really tastes like and learn to appreciate it, instead of nuking the taste with salt or sugar. One of the main reasons salt or sugar seem wanted and needed in every dish by people is because they become habituated to it, and can't really taste food properly anymore. Drop the habit and you won't find food lacking as much anymore, as you'll learn to really taste and appreciate it as it is. Things will begin to taste better.

This is true. I started making my own fries all the time a long time ago, and realized one day that about half the time I would simply forget to put salt on and not notice. They tasted just as good, if not better (but different). Now it depends on what kind of mood I'm in and what I'm having them with.

Putting mayo on fries is disgusting, but I think the world would be a better place without mayo in general. Just looking at the stuff makes me sick, like Undercover Brother.

Scotch Eggs

6 hard-cooked eggs, well chilled
1 pound breakfast sausage
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup fine bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for frying

Peel eggs and set aside. Divide sausage into 6 portions. Roll each egg in flour and with hands press a portion of the sausage around each egg.

Dip sausage-wrapped eggs into beaten eggs and roll in bread crumbs. Heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cook each egg in oil about 4-5 minutes or until sausage is cooked and browned. Drain on paper toweling. Serve warm.

You just need some motivation to pick up this very useful skill. Wrapping the eggs in shredded cheese before covering with the sausage is probably the way to go. Think chicken cordon bleu. Get a deep pot or wok for the oil and you're set.

Most probably, too, your taste buds have been dulled by using salt too regularly. Food actually tastes good, if you let it.

Usually cooking eggs that long makes the yolk loose most of its flavor, and even start to taste like sulfur. Maybe the chilled part helps a bit.

No you should have instead chosen to make a post explaining the context of the situation and asked for opinions. Instead you took the simplistic poll approach using a question which the results would be extremely obvious. thus polltard is accurate.

But there should not be mayo on a hamburger, it just doesn't go.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why do you hate good tasting stuff?

[/ QUOTE ]

Mayo on a hamburger is like ketchup on pastrami.

[/ QUOTE ]

Blarg. You have a lot to learn. It's not quite the may on the "burger"; its the mayonaise mixed with the shredded lettuce and onions and what not. Sitting right there at the top of a freshly toasted bun; with JUST the right amount of ketchup--it makes a perfect little seal between the bun and the first (of hopefully two) slices of cheese.

Great, now I'm starving...

Yes.

I also vote polltard

[/ QUOTE ]

Does it make a difference if this was a big subject of disagreement that I genuinely felt the need to get feedback on, as opposed to just poll for the sake of poll?

[/ QUOTE ]

No you should have instead chosen to make a post explaining the context of the situation and asked for opinions. Instead you took the simplistic poll approach using a question which the results would be extremely obvious. thus polltard is accurate.

fear not OOters combined with some additional tarding it up on your part bailed you out and made for a fairly interesting thread. you're certainly playing with fire though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fwiw, if I'd thought the results of the poll were going to be this one-sided, I wouldn't have bothered making the poll in the first place.

I find that there are few situations which can't be resolved by additional tarding up.

A "seal" on the hamburger? LOL. Figuring out how to hold a hamburger is something I mastered as a kid.

Mayo is too heavy and greasy. You've already got the burger for that. Mayo contributes nothing good flavor wise and adds extra slop and heaviness.

[Blarg]

There are other seasonings besides salt.

Again, if you can't make chicken that tastes good without salt, you're not a good cook.

And again, consider that your taste buds get habituated to salt. The more salt I eat, the more I want. The less salt I eat, the more I appreciate the salt that I do use, and the less I find food really needs it.

It's hard to picture that when you're habituated to always having that taste. You start to think that nothing tastes good without salt, and maybe even without a little more salt, to boot. You're right, for you, because you're interepreting every taste right away, without really tasting it, as something lacking the flavor you've gotten used to blanketing everything with. That's fine if that's the way you want things.

Cut back, and you'll find that you can taste other flavors better.

[Blarg]

Mayo is fine. But it's overkill on a burger for richness and greasiness, but adds little flavor. Just glop.

I'll keep my mayo to the turkey sandwiches, tuna and egg salad, etc. I don't dislike mayo. Just don't think that piling everything on is the answer to all food questions.

[Saddlepoint]

Well, 10:1 margin, so I acknowledge defeat. I'm reevaluating the Deep Fried rule.

I suppose it comes down to a matter of personal preference...With that said, I think that tuna/egg salad are both horribly gooey messes. Good mayo (esp homemade) on a burger can do wonders for the mixture of tastes!

[/ QUOTE ]

OF course it would be tasty. It's not all that different from a toasted egg/bacon/cheese croissant sandwich IMO.

[Ulysses]

OK, somehow nobody has seemed to point out the basic point which you missed.

People put salt on things to make them salty. Once a desired level of saltiness has been achieved, no more salt is required.

Deep-frying has nothing to do with salt. For french fries, potatoes are sliced and fried in oil. Then, sometimes salt is applied to them. If none or not enough salt is applied before serving, you put more salt on (and often pepper, in my case) to taste.

Many deep fried things have salt in the batter or the product has been marinated in a salty marinade prior to frying. This is often the case with fried chicken, chicken-fried steak, etc. It is the addition of salt in the cooking process, not the frying, that makes them salty.

Hopefully you now understand how deep-frying has nothing to do with saltiness.

Chocolate is good if it is a little salty. Like chocolate covered peanuts or a chocolate dipped pretzel from Uncle Sam's or Auntie Anne's.

It really depends where you're getting your fries. McD's is pretty good about getting enough salt on their fries. I rarely have to add more.

Other places are sometimes remiss, or purposely leave off the salt. These fries must be salted.

Two things:

1) you changed your avatar. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

2) wtf are you guys doing with the mayo? Mayo, if applied properly, in a thin coating, does not make a burger soggy. It makes it tasty.

What I do is mix ketchup, mustard, and mayo all together then coat the burger bun lightly. Add some jalapenos or tabasco and you're set. YUM. I think I'll get a burger for lunch today, no need to hold the mayo. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Without context, you sound like a moron. What I don't get is you suggest that you like fries salty (because, you think deep frying them makes them salty) but you think it's weird then to adjust the saltiness to meet personal preferences? That's odd.

I like salty fries. Often salt doesn't stick to the fries good enough. Solution: salt the ketchup.

1) I will be rotating pics of the lovely M. Theuriau for a while.
