Thomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in the French manner" at a White House dinner in 1802. The expression "french fried potatoes" first occurred in print in English in the 1856 work Cookery for Maids of All Work by E. Warren: "French Fried Potatoes.

Fair enough. But Jefferson never called them "fries";
he said "in the French style". Different meaning altogether.

But... Jefferson wrote: "Cut new potatoes in thin slices,
put them in boiling fat, and a little salt; fry both sides of
a light golden brown colour; drain". This account referred
to thin, shallow-fried slices of potato, rather than the thicker
'baton' style we're used to today, which are deep fried.

I make the best chips of all -

I fry them in a little pot of olive oil -

yummy.

Yes, I agree; nothing beats home-made chips.

I deep fry mine in sunflower oil.

McDonald's "Famous" French Fries (which are actually
Belgian, but the stupid American GIs thought because
most Belgians spoke French they mistook them for French
nationals... duh).

So...

Ingredients: Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, corn
oil, soybean oil), hydrogenated soybean oil, natural
beef flavour* [wheat and milk derivatives], dextrose,
sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain colour), salt.
*natural beef flavour contains hydrolysed wheat and
hydrolysed milk as starting ingredients.

—Hydrogenation is a process where manufacturers
add hydrogen to a liquid fat, such as vegetable oil, to
turn it into a solid fat at room temperature.

—Hydrolysed wheat is used in body lotions and shampoos.

—Sodium acid pyrophosphate should be avoided by
persons with kidney disease.

Sad

How strange it is - the 21st century -

since when did food become poison that can kill you?

There you go, it's always and everywhere about Trump for the 'sophisticated' Trump deranged. Even hot chips.

The Trump deranged smug brigade sees, 'sagely', the dumb Americans of history who 100 years later elected Trump and who had already displaying their dumbness for thinking that French speaking Belgians were French.
Everywhere they look, the stupid and smug Trump- derange see Trump and they congratulate themselves for their perspicacity. The dumb Americans elected Obama TWICE because of Trump, hahaha!! Trump because of Trump, Biddden because of Trump, hahaha, look at them!!

ausgeoff and greg pec are seriously pathologically trump obsessed lol

i know trump derangement syndrome is a thing, but how much of a colossal loser do you have to be to have it to this degree that you have to bring it up everywhere you go --- despite NOT EVEN BEING AMERICAN

a lot of these types haven't even been there

it really is a strange psychological phenomeon, it's advertising to the world that you really have absolutely nothing going on

‘Dangerous’ chemicals found in 80% of
McDonald’s, Burger King, Pizza Hut and Domino’s meals

Terri-Ann Williams

Published: 11:24, 29 Oct 2021Updated: 16:16, 29 Oct 2021

CHEMICALS that can cause reproductive issues and learning problems in children have been found in the foods at some of your favourite chains, a study has revealed.

Samples taken from McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Domino's and Chipotle meals were found to include industrial chemicals.

A new study, based on samples from restaurants in San Antonio, US, found small amounts of phthalates.

These chemicals are used to make plastics soft and were found in 80 per cent of the samples collected.

The chemical is linked to a range of health problems including issues in the endocrine system which is a series of glands that produces and secretes hormones in the body, a previous study found.

Phthalates are also linked to fertility and reproductive issues, with one 2020 study having found that the chemical may 'induce alterations in puberty, the development of testicular dysgenesis syndrome, cancer, and fertility disorders in both males and females'.

Another study, published earlier this year also called for 'critical' policy reforms on the chemicals after it found that it raises the risk of attention, behavioural and learning disorders in kids.

Around 50g of each food item was used for testing.

In total 80 per cent of foods tested included a phthalate called DnBP which has been linked to an increased risk of asthma - this is while 70 per cent of foods included DEHP, which has links to reproductive issues.

In the US the Food and Drug Administration has no legal threshold in the amount of phthalate in foods.

In the UK restrictions on phthalates came into force on July 22 2019 in electrical equipment with some medical devices being exempt until July 2021.
