You'll need to hunts down a flash frier. (Oh, and +, by the way). |
|
|
You could freeze the ketchup into
spaghetti-thin needles and then fire
these lengthwise into the just-cooked
fries.... |
|
|
Tomatoes and potatoes don't just rhyme but are botanically related, leading to a future monk-crossed ketchup french fry plant. |
|
|
The funny thing is, I had thought of this yesterday. + |
|
|
I'll just have two please. |
|
|
[Basepair], I think you're got it [freeze the ketchup into spaghetti-thin needles and then fire these lengthwise into the just-cooked fries], but when the weaponsmiths start hopping up the firing mechanism we're going to have a new arms race on our hands. |
|
|
Although I guess the inconvenience of having to maintain a refrigerated ammunition source will probably prevent me carrying one for self defense. |
|
|
[bristolz], I'm moaning in pain at the realization of your anno. It took me this long to catch up. |
|
|
Already baked, literally.
I remember having these as a child, they were oven chips and came frozen.
I don't remember much about the taste, but I do know they were distinctly dissapointing. |
|
|
I've also got a recipe for ketchup filled chips, cooked in hay (seriously) somewhere.. the filling involves a painstaking syringing process. |
|
|
Keep trying, my fries have unique 'companion food' holding abilities. You've been trained so well by tunnel vision cooks everywhere to eat potatoes coated.
I laugh at the sixteenth century cooking techniques handed down so meticulously. Not much of a dowry. |
|
|
Frozen ketchup needles? Arms race? Sounds like the Condiment Wars! |
|
|
Weapons of mass insertion? |
|
|
Good idea, but not sure about the name. "Fretchups" sound a little worrying to me. |
|
|
<Tomatoes and potatoes don't just
rhyme...> |
|
|
Can I raise a small English objection at
this point? |
|
|
funny, I just knew you were a small english object. tough time rising? ;) |
|
|
[Basepair] Were you looking for these: """"? |
|
|
That's strictly between me and my
proctologist. |
|
|
FarmerJohn - You have double
quotes!!! We've not been able to get
these in England since the early years of
the war. Oh bugger, I just wasted my
last apostrophe too. |
|

Hola [lost]! Where have you been? |

From the Texas Trailer Cookbook, 2006: |
|

First, fry your fries. Then insert frozen ketchup, cheese and mayo straws. Coat stuffed fry in batter and fry. When golden, remove from fat and allow to cool slightly. Roll in flour then beaten egg yolk and finally bread crumbs. Repeat breading process and fry in lard. When golden, remove from lard and refrigerate. After cooling wrap in bacon strips, pining with toothpicks as necessary. Shallow fry, turning constantly. Roll bacon covered, breaded, battered, stuffed chips in a mix of three parts ghee and two parts dessicated coconut. Pat down firmly and dust with icing sugar. Prepare large vat of dessert chocolate and dip coat all items. Repeat to build two centimeter layer around each item. Arrange prepared chips on a large platter and cover whole in canned dairy whip. Serve with diet Coke. |
|
|
After the chocolate, you need to batter and deep-fry them again. The icing sugar is to give an outline of the corpse for forensic purposes. |
|
|
Drop the "F" for a better title. |
|
|
[FarmerJohn] //leading to a future monk-crossed ketchup french fry plant// I assume you are referring to the deep fat friar? |
|
|
Ha! While I don't like ketchup on my fries (I still take vinegar with my chips), this seems like a viable idea. Croissant. |
|
|
Rather than inserting the ketsup, you could make a kind of ketsup sandwich from two half-fries. The half fries would be low and flat, with a groove to hold the ketsup. Or like an extruded V. Once assembled, they would look as if the ketsup had been inserted.
After frying, the half-fries are combined with ketsup-strips, and self-organize into ketsup-sandwiches, held together by potato starch. (magic is allowed in annos, right?) |
|
|
I thought this was going to be some sort of frangible ketchup. I'm actually kind of disappointed. |
|
|
<Off topic, as usual> There is a great New Yorker cartoon with two cats peering over the edge of a table looking at a bottle labeled "Catsup." One cat is remarking to the other, "Makes you wonder, doesn't it?" |
|
|
Exhibit A. An eleven year old's idea remains unimproved. |
|
|
Pneumatically punch holes in potato slices to pick up 'fillings' but people who can't take their fingers off of keyboards; you'll just have to dream about it. |
|
|
[robinism] that production method would enable a rebranding from 'French Fries' (or for the gallophobic - 'shoestring potatoes') to 'pencil fries'. |
