arrgh!limp! grrrrrrr.

Who does like it limp? when i make fries i want to eat them right away especially when it is a bit hot because it stays crisp..

Well, I am an American and I don't care for them to be really crispy. I like just barely crispy and then soft inside. My taste buds LOVE potatoes and the oven baked kind my daughter makes are my favorite. Tender and cooked perfectly for these old taste buds.

That to which you refer are called chips. French fried potatoes are slices of potato shallow fried often with garlic. Americans may love chips but I doubt, judging by McVomits, if they have ever had a good one. To make really good chips you need to deep fry in fat or oil so hot it almost explodes when the chips are lowered in. When the ebullience of the reaction has slowed, remove the chips and let the oil reheat. This should be repeated several times. Purists insist they should be cooked in goose fat. The result the perfect chips, crisp and crunchy on the outside, light and fluffy inside all the best, urban

Complain to the management. They did not have the oil hot enough.

I like big, fat steak fries, but, yeah, they should be crispy on the outside even if they are soft and potato-y good on the inside... And hot. They should be hot!

You're right, most like them crispy. Well cooked at least, not limp or soggy! I think I would eat them but not be satisfied with that meal. I don't like to eat food that isn't good.

Well, this is becoming the issue even when you go to fast food places anymore, is getting some french fries that you can really enjoy and taste fresh. In a place like that, it is especially hard unless they do every plate seperately. Honestly, I enjoy mine most of the time freshly made but if you can get them fresh they aren't too bad other ways.

Hi Hatley, I am not a fan of french fries. But when hungry I eat anything and do not care whether it is cold and limpy.

Hi Hatley, I love crispy french fries. Who wants to eat cold, limp, fries? Nobody! I hope you have a wonderful Spring!

Well regardless of it's texture it should at least be warm! I think I'm the odd person out here. I don't like french fries

You are a much better person than I am because if I was served french fries in the condition that your french fries were served to you in, I would have had to have left them on the plate because limp french fries are one of the things that I cannot eat under any circumstances. I feel like we are often disappointed when we are served institution food because those people that are doing the cooking don't really care and know that there will be very few people that will complain because at least they do have food to eat.

HAPPY HOLI Thanks for sharing, Mom, i am so fond of fried crunchy foods, to day is Holi, my daughter in law made Puri, it is kind of tortilla deep fried in oil, other members want them soft, but i hard, crunchy, it has its own taste.

I like crispy french fries too, when fries are soggy I won't eat them. I don't like home made fries for that reason, they never come out crispy enough unless their charcoal practically. Lol. And I don't like soggy and soft fries, yuck!

I like french fries both ways, crunchy but I also like the limp ones to as long as they are hot and I have something to dip them in. Ketchup or whatever. But cold fries....bleh. They at least need to be warm or I would try and get them to warm them up.

I know how you feel i order French fries at work sometimes and when I get them and go eat them their soggy. My fries have to be cooked perfectly, I like them crispy as well. Mcdonalds has good fries though if you get them fresh.

Crispy on the outside, but slightly limpish... :)

Are you sure you had French Fries? More like grease sticks to me and you should stay away from it for your health concerns. I think they become soft and greasy once they cool down. I like them hot and crispy.

sounds like they didnt cook them long enough and they were either home made or those cheapo type frozen from the store. ive gotten frozen ones that were cheap that ended up so greasey right from the bag and you cant cook them in the oven and get them done enough to sap out all that grease. so i bet that was it. i no longer like to buy the cheap ones for that reason. i cant handle deep fried things either and they probably are not supposed to deep fry because of delicate stomachs yet, they likely do buy the cheap fries. those wont bake up right and yes they lay on your stomach. yuk. i hate that dont have some kind of menu there for people that dont/cant eat certain things.

LOL Hi Hatley, I don't eat french fries to often so I don't really care if they are not crunchy but I know I certainly do not want them soggy/limp or cold....I do think that MacDonalds makes the best fries...I told you I don't eat fries that often..LOL

Oh, I HATE limpy and soggy French fries as well, especially if they are cold and not salty enough. I want my fries crispy, salty and a beautiful golden color (but I don't care if the edges are browner/ a bit more burnt).
