Sometimes I think British people are insane

Take this french fry sandwich, for instance:

That's a chip butty sandwich and they taste good. Had a neighbor from Scotland who would make them for us. I'd drooling right now.

Of course that doesn't disprove that the Brits are insane. Might even add weight to it.

That is just wrong on so may levels.  Fries themselves have no business masquerading as a food.  Especially ones that are mushy inside, like those sure look to be.  Bad, truly bad.

It is a strange food combo. It's like...sticking rice inside bread.  2 carbs together...as 1.

Way too many carbohydrates for me.

I’ve always wondered if eating too much carbs can give you type 2 diabetes.

I guess it can if being overweight is a big risk factor.

Not directly but it contributes to health imbalances that could lead to type 2 diabetes .

The proper way to make French Fries is to cut the potatoes into raw fries and then wash the fries in a bowl twice for about 30 seconds each time, running your fingers through the fries to stir them around and draining the water afterward. I pat them dry with a paper towel now before baking them on a shallow pan in a 425-450F oven, drizzling a little olive oil on them and stirring them to coat them all. I usually prefer baby gold potatoes with their skins on, cut into wedges instead of traditional fries. By the way, a similar procedure is done by Chinese, Thai, etc. restaurants and homes with raw rice before cooking it.  That removes a lot of starch so your fries are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside - that's how the fast-food restaurants did it when they auto-peeled and sliced their own potatoes in the old days and how some like 5 Guys do it now.
