We all knew that this was coming. Ok, maybe not because unless you know me very very well, or you happened to be around when I was eating Macdonalds take out, you wouldn’t know that I love soggy fries.
I have a theory. There are two types of people in this world, the ones that like soggy fries and the ones that don’t. I have nothing against crunchy fries people (this is what I shall call them henceforth), you guys are awesome, but so are soggy fries.
My friend and I love soggy fries to the extent that, since Macdonalds started giving us extra paper bags for shaker fries, we have invented a way to actually soggify (yes, this is henceforth a VERB), fries. The concept is simple, using the steam from the hot fries themselves, we stuff them in a double insulated environment (i.e. two paper bags), thus effectively trapping the steam within the fries, causing them to soggify, really it’s not rocket science.
So what exactly is there to muse about soggy fries? Well for all you crunchy fries lovers out there, I thought I’m obliged to advocate to you the sheer awesomeness of soggy fries. Why do we love soggy fries!?
Well to me, I can’t say for other soggy fries lovers, soggy fries are concentrated in flavor. I mean really. All the sogginess locks the yummy flavors within the fries, what better can you ask for!? Another thing about soggy fries is that, they tend to be more potatoey and are larger in size. You can’t blame the fries, small ones have too little actual potatoes in them to soggify. Which leads us to the last, final and most important part of soggy fries, they have the illusion of being healthier. I mean, think about it. Soggy fries don’t taste crunchy or fried, thus they seem less oily, I mean when you really really think about, don’t they seem steamed and we’re all brought up to think steamed foods are good for us!!! That and also, like I said, soggy fries tends to be fries with more potato in them, which makes them healthier…I think.
And so that was 359 words of pure bullshit on soggy fries, the moral of the story? I bullshit very well. ^0^ Oh FYI, I thought about this while I was in line for burger king at Vivo City, thinking how to soggify my fries for dinner/lunch without 2 paper bags. Macdonalds fries soggify the best, if you’re curious. Oh and yes, I soggify my nuggets AND cup noodles too. Just thought you should know.
UPDATE! My dear soggy fries loving friend has hereby introduced an even more effective soggifying method!!!
P.S: I like soggy fries too. For exactly the same reasons. No, no one else understands. Yes, MacDonalds fries soggify/taste best. No, I have no idea why either.
P.P.S: I soggify them by putting them into their respective brands' plastic bag. Pro tip: Do it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE after buying them in order to lock in as much juicy soggy flavour as possible, because I've found that when they're hot, the moisture evaporates more.. Then condenses more on the inside of the plastic bag. Which makes your fries more tasty.
It's better than paper bags- even double insulated ones, because the paper bags ABSORB some of the moisture that you want in your fries!
