View Full Version : Gourmet hate frying

I harvested what was left to harvest from those gourmet “Sirco” potatoes which are the best yet for (ZOGphemism) “Freedom :rolleyes: Fries”. I found this race of Potato in France, a couple weeks ago and paid 3.60 EUROs for a 2½ Kilogram bag which, at the contemporary exchange rate, amounts to somewhere between $3.80 to $3.90? A kilogram equates to roughly 2.2 pounds, thus approximately 5 ½ pounds. At $3.85 per sack, I figure 70 cents a pound. I paid considerably less in Spain, last year, for a sack. I remember forking out 2.70 EUROs for potatoes exported out of country of origin France. Since Spain is a poorer country, they get transfair dumping, at the burden of the French consumer. So much for “Free Trade”.
My mother always used corn oil for frying. Here in Germany, “Mazola” has exclusive rights to sell corn oil in White supermarket chains. I’d have to go to the Sandies for other less expensive brands. But, as a WN, I won’t do this. I’ll use olive oil, instead. There’s no need for using the cold-pressed virgin oil. This would be like tanking your 40 year old lawn mower with premium gasoline (“Petrol” in Blokespeak). Therefore, an inexpensive olive oil will do for all frying needs. Don’t even think of using shortening. It is unhealthy. Let Aunt Jemaima buy it up and fry possum tails for the Chilren. A gööd quality oil will not soak into the food. There are certain oils which change molecularly when heated excessively, so beware and consult a reliable source pertaining to this topic. Another reason not to go cheap for frying gourmet foods

Peanut oil is also good for frying. I get it here in the States for $10/2 Gallons.

grapeseed oil is good. low in transfatty acids, and holds up well to the heat. olive oil breaks down too fast for french fries, but for light frying duty it is good. plus, it's higher in monounsaturated fats than any other oil.

Well, "Freedom Fries :D " don't need the high temperature that Asian cööking requires (stir frying in a Wok) and those fats u refer to, pertaining to olive oil, are healthy and reduce the risk of incurring vascio-cardiac ailments

Maybe try grapeseed oil in lieu of SAE 30 for your finicky Georgia built Mercedes SUV?
Costs a bit more, but who knows, might prevent some problems?
you know mercedes uses some kind of synthetic oil that lasts for 10,000 miles between oil changes. but then an oil change costs you ten times as much so there is no savings.
problem with my bitch is the electric esp passenger side. if I had the coin I'd cut the bitch loose and get volkswagon Touareg. Thems are bad ass mofos!

I don't change the oil in my deep hate fryer for that very reason

When potatoes get hard-ons, even smaller than the one on the right, they’re no good for culinary purposes anymore, thus must be entombed in springtime.
I bought these (left), of which the horny potato on the right came with, in late Summer. Pisses me off :mad: , because the ones I harvested, this Autumn, are still fresh. These I bought are probably harvested last spring as new potatoes, then sold as normal ones later in the year. Southern France, like Californikwa, is warm enuff to yield double harvests

I don't have that sadistic touch. When I look at those poor things sporting hard-ons, mashing the potato reminds me of mashing a ball :eek:

In that case Mrs. Doubtfire, er, uh, I mean Mrs. Potato Head gets a sex change. A mushy potato like any spudder has got to make a dynamite lay when surgically corrected in this manner
