Why are French fries the standard, and not the vastly superior onion rings?
No idea, but one onion makes a lot less rings than one potato does
Onion rings are a way bigger pain in the ass to make from scratch
>>22085075fried potato got a good tasteonion is bitter
>>22085084Mechanization of such processes has existed for decades.
>>22085156I'm talking about making them at home you consumer pig.
>>22085158French fries aren't generally made at home either, so what's your fucking point?
>>22085159t. fat stupid retard
>>22085160I accept your concession.
>>22085162We're on a cooking board and your first thought is that the slop fast food joint your fat ass gets half your meals from can make either food with the same ease as if that's in any way relevant. You're fat, you stink and you should kill yourself.
>>22085159>French fries aren't generally made at home eitherKek, you myst be really fat if cutting some potatoes and using a pan to fry them sounds alien to you.
>>22085164>a cooking boardClose! It's a food and cooking board.
>>22085171Lose 200 lbs Cletus.
>>22085165One doesn't make proper French fries in a pan.
>>22085075Onion Rings are too oily and make me feel sluggish afterwards if I eat too many of them. I agree they're delicious, but I probably only eat them a couple times a year, because I know that I'll just want to lie down and watch TV for the rest of the day/night after eating them.Fries are rarely that greasy, they're a bit more filling and afterwards you can take a walk, move around, work, dance, whatever.Also fries have so many regional variations and potential toppings, Chili Cheese Fries, Poutine, Mayo, Ketchup, Barbecue Sauce, Hell in San Diego there's a thing of putting them in Burritos. Onion Rings really all you got is a few different ways to batter them and dipping sauces that range from Barbecue to Salad Dressings. You can't do as much with themAlso volume, Fries are straight, easy, you can cook and plate them compactly, onion rings take up a lot of space comparatively. Oven, Freezer, Frier, plating it's all a lot of air.Love onion rings, sure, but I love a lot of things that I only eat a few times a year.
>>22085173Yeah, but most people live with at least one person who wouldn't be keen on having a big bucket of cooking oil in a big pot on the stove. Between roommates, family and godforbid children. There are a lot of reasons why most fries that are eaten are oven fries.
>>22085084This. Potatoes are easier and cheaper and honestly, many people don't like onions. Fries are the better choice for most people. Though I love good onion rings. Most places don't offer good ones.
>>22085160if you make french fries at home you're probably at least a little fat
>>22085075>order onion rings>receive serving of mostly airWhen ordering the "same size" as french fries the onion rings always seem to be more expensive but way skimpier.
>>22085187They're a good side dish for a sandwich
>>22085156the mechanized ones arent better than fries.
>>22085075bk has them but I got them the other day and literally could not find the onion in them. pretty sure they just put a tiny but of onion in the batter or something now.
>>22085222Are BK's still that minced onion formed into a ring and fried so they're all uniform? Hate that type of onion ring. Always tastes wrong with bad mouthfeel.
>>22085222BK is like ground up onion that is battered. Should be illegal to call them onion rings. Onion nuggets.
>>22085078In my experience, one potato makes zero rings
>>22085178That's how you end up with soggy oily fries. Pre fried frozen fries render a superior result for a fraction of the effort
>>22085276Meant for>>22085165
>>22085075Cassava fries are superior to both
>>22085104Most nonsensical post I've seen in the past month
>>22085225I think they just changed them a few months ago. I liked those onion rings with the zesty sauce
>>22085075The superiority of the fried potato is in its mediocrity. Not that it isn't good or that there aren't good recipes to kick it up a notch, but the simple fact is that there's a blandness to it. Something you can eat over and over without getting sick of it. It's easy to say onion rings are better, but it's because they're richer. Something you wouldn't want to eat too often. You can eat fries practically every day, which some goyim do, so it's the standard.
>>22085104>>22085183Onions become sweet when cooked you absolute fat retarded troglodytes.
>>22085868God forbid these cooklets discover why people use carrots in acidic dishes. I hope someone kills them, seriously we need to start culling the retarded useless faggots from the world.
>>22085075onion rings are usually 70% breading
>>22085084Children..hate. Onions. Some children never grow up. Onion rings are a wheat product. That's the most of it.
>>22085075They're not, unless you get them from a wing joint.
>>22085172You first Tristan
>>22086297really you should be getting them from a seafood joint. proper oignon rings should be battered, not breaded, and a seafood place does a batter fry best
>>22085075onion rings are easy to fuck up
>>22086315>proper oignon rings should be battered, not breadedabsolute trvke
>Bite into onion ring>The whole onion comes our leaving just the batter
>>22086377this makes for such a satisfying eating experience though. yes you can deglove your onion and then crunch down the batter separately, or you can crunch the whole thing down the hatch in one big bite. it's wonderful
>>22086382>deglovefuck that word and fuck you for posting it
>>22086396what's wrong anon? you're clearly not lovin' the deglovin'
>>22086315damn if we are going there then yeah a blooming onion is way better than french fries, which are themselves better than breaded onion rings
>>22085162Yes. We are talking about fries and onion rings. Food commonly purchased at a concession stand.
>>22085868So what? I said I LIKE onion rings. But people who don't like onions don't like onions. Are you just dense? You're suggesting these people only dislike raw onions and are simply unaware of how good you think they are when cooked?I fucking know onions are in everything. I use them. You can't deny that people dislike them and don't fucking want them to come stock with sandwiches instead of fries. Don't be a dumbass. If onion rings were preferred they would be in the fries' spot. But they aren't. The people have spoken. Have you had shitty frozen onion rings like at Burger King? Those suck. If they were the standard side they'd likely suck most places.
>>22086315But that batter clearly sucks. They should be more poofy and smooth, not all flaked off and crackled like yours. You can make them good in different ways. Bread crumb ones with cheese have been some of the best I've had. But you can't beat a good batter. This pic doesn't even cover it. I need to take my own pics of what they can and should be.
Something like this
>>22086446yeah sometimes they can get stringy from being wet but I like it. pic is from the same establishment where the batter stuck better. either case works for me
I am open to the possibility of being right but these>>22086315look much better than these>>22086455
>>22086462Really only taste counts though. And texture. Having had both, the flaky ones where most of the batter fell off in the oil and the stuff that clung is greaselogged, the ones you think you prefer, are not in fact as tasty as the smoother ones you think don't look as good.Try for yourself.
>>22085075Onion rings are a rare treat when one shows up in my fries.
