Got ya, sorry I should have explained better. I meant 1/2" each side by whatever length the spud is. To us Brits that's 1/2" square, if it was 1/2" X 1/2" X 1/2", that would be a cubeI know, but you said, "Imagine a chip 1/2" square..." I imagine a square/cube/rectangle as having 6 sides; if it only had 4 sides it would be 2-dimentional and would belong in the realm of science fiction.
I wasn't talking about flutes, cups or buckets. I was merely comparing a single 'fat' fry with a single 'thin' fry, both the same length but different thickness. No math needed to figure out which has the greatest surface area.
Not disagreeing at all on the chip by chip basis.
I couldn't understand a word. I do not speak or understand British. I first discovered that when I was in London in Y2K.
Me. Yuk. I hate McDs
The Desert Bar near Parker serves a killer version of garlic fries. I usually stop in the area on my way through so I can hit there and also a Mexican place I like in Parker.
I've also seen the term used to describe, uh, ladies of the evening shall we say.
I learn something new every day. Answered that one here:
IMHO, the fries are the only thing McD's can lay claim to that is edible on their menu.

It was many years ago, but I got some really lousy fries from the MCD in Pacifica, CA. They were not so consistent back then as they are now between the different MCD's. I would say these days the MCD fries are perfect everywhere.

The last job I had before I went in the AF ('71) was as a grill man at a McDonalds. The old McDonalds, with the red and white tile building with giant yellow arches and no inside seating. All burgers were cooked by hand, on a big flat top. The Big Mac was 6 months old (and a PITA to assemble in those cardboard sleeves), the quarter pounder wasn't even on the menu yet, the apple pies were served with filling that would burn the skin right off of your tongue, and the store I worked at had just changed from fries made in-store from whole potatoes to frozen fries (still had all the equipment to peel, clean and slice the potatoes). The man who owed the store I worked at built the first McDonalds with inside seating in the San Jose, CA. area.
And your thigh if you dribbled it in your lap while wearing shorts. Stuff was like molten plastic.
The fried pies, not these baked ones either.
