It's nearly midnight and this thread has made me really hungry. Damn. I'm so tempted to make some chips. Sorry, I mean french fries. Or is that freedom fries?

Whatever, I'll be having them with salt and mayo. So there.

Deep fried Eggs? What if I made an omelette with cheese/breaded it and deep fried it? Does this exist? Doesn't it sound [censored] tasty?

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

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.

BECAUSE THEY'RE DEEP FRIED. They always very salty to begin with.

You need to spend a night (maybe two) at a Holiday Inn Express.

I prefer cheese and gravy with my fries.

This is correct. But I will still put salt on the fries even with gravy/cheese on it if it needs it.

You probably like ground sirloin, rather than beef too.
