Fries are disgusting nowadays. They have no flavor and they're always overly salty and they sit in the stomach like a lead weight.
Not to date myself but if you aren't old enough to remember when McDonalds cooked their fries in beef tallow then you won't be able to understand my aversion to the crap they call "French fries" today. There is absolutely no comparison and quite frankly I find it very sad when people tell me how much they love the cold, greasy, salty, bland fries they get at McDonalds these days.
They are like night and day. Before, McD fries became "soggy" when they got cold (like homemade fries do). Now, they simply dry out into mummified (but perfectly preserved) fry-fossils. Ants will not touch them, and flies will not alight on them. And you damn well know Im old enough to remember!
