French Fries

The folks at Disney say that almost 9.3 million pounds of french fries are served every year at Disney World. They don't say whether that is their weight before frying or after (it might not make a difference). If I did the math right, that 25,000 pounds a day (9.3 million divided by 365). Wow!

Both really, you have the pallet/digestive system and muscles breaking it down, and the stomach acid finishing it off.

French fries are a foodstuff, as far as I am aware food is renewable, at least it has been to date. There have been local and temporary shortages in various locations.

A lot

You can find any sort of food in a metropolitan city like Tokyo and some of the best fries are at First Kitchen - mainly because of the excellent selection of dipping sauces! Now I want some fries from there!

Mos Burger has some excellent burgers and fries as well and another couple of my favorites are Freshness Burger and Lotteria.

French fries have a variety of amusing names, including "freedom fries," which humorously emerged during political tensions. Other playful terms include "potato sticks," "crispy critters," and "spud sticks." In some places, you might hear them called "frenchy fries" or "chip-chips," adding a whimsical twist to this beloved snack. These names often reflect regional slang or playful creativity in describing this popular dish.

Because of the way they're cut, not the way they're cooked or their supposed origin. "Frenching" can have two meanings. The appropriate one here is "to cut into long thin strips".

This girl in my class says that 2 pounds of potatoes are made into french fries. :D

Concensus of opinion seems to place the origin in Belgium, c.1680. Although cooked in a French style (pommes de terre frites), the term 'French fries' seems to have caught on with foreign visitors after the French annexation of French-speaking Belgium in the early 1800s.

Early references to Vlaamse frieten ('Flemish fries') hint at a possible origin in the Netherlands.

French fries are usually yellowish brown on the outside, white to pale tan on the inside. Like hash browns, the exterior browning provides a crunchy texture that holds the fry together when the interior softens.

Most likely, if you are American, use ounces. Grams is also a great measurement for the mass of the french fry.

French fries are just like other foods. It takes the same amount of time to digest a french fry. But it depends if you think the large intestine is part of the digestive tract. First it starts at the mouth. The amylace from the mouth chemically starts to digest the starch in a french fry. Some of the starch has turned into sugar. The esophagus brings down the mush into the stomach. This takes around 4 seconds. The stomach keeps on churning and etc... for around 2-4 hours. The food is put into the small intestine, nutrients absorbed, etc. It stays in the small intestine for around 1-3days. (from esophagus-> colon=between 1day, 2 hours and 4 seconds approx.~3 days, 4 hours and 4 seconds). Hope that helped!!!

POYO!!!

Cooking oils are molecules of triacylglycerides (TAGs) which are basically carbon & hydrogen atoms; each TAG consists of a glycerol 'head' joined to three fatty acid tails. The tails are hydrocarbons, & each one can vary in length (i.e. how many hydrocarbons are in it) depending on the plant that made the oil, so for instance rapeseed oil has longer tails than olive oil. The shape of the tail can also vary: if the tail is straight then it's a saturated fat, & if there's a kink in the tail it means that the oil is unsaturated. If an oil is just labelled 'cooking oil', then it's likely to be a blend of oils from different sources, each one having slightly different properties.

Because the smaller potato has less to cook than the bigger potato so there for the bigger potato has to be cooked more because the heat cant get in the potato as quickly as It can get in a small potato

French fries originated in belgium but they got there name because the Belgiums gave them to French soldiers and the French soldiers took the credit and named them French fries.

The first person to ever make French fries in belgium was Nikah Maston

I'm wondering the same thing... try averaging together the cost of a bunch of french fries.
