I strongly disagree. I think even the worst onion rings are better than all but the best fries.

That is pure insanity.

I always thought they had the best fast food fries, but since they aren't vegetarian I haven't had them in years.

Ah, but McDonald's fries are on the short list of mass-produced products that even serious foodies enjoy, like Hellman's Mayonnaise.

Mayo is actually pretty easy to make at home in large quantities. In small quantities it involves a LOT of whisking which can be a pain the ass, but if you're making a big batch you can use a food processor and make really good mayo in no time at all. Or just buy Hellman's which is excellent and takes no effort. I love to make seemingly fancy sauces at home to impress people. They usually consist of Hellman's doctored with various ingredients (hot sauce, garlic, chopped pickles, etc.)

How can you be so right about mayo, and so wrong about bananas?

There's no phobia, just pure hate. And sour cream and cream cheese can hit the road too.

My dear pedro,
If that is a reference to me mistaking him for Edwin Meese the other day, well that's just not very nice. You wouldn't like it if I pointed out every time you made a mistake, now would you? Or are you claiming to be perfect?
P.S. You should broaden your palette.

Stop being so paranoid.

Their fries are good too, but they're the thicker kind. Which brings me to a sub-poll of this thread:
Steak fries or shoestring?

See, I think McD style fries qualify as shoestring. Anything much thinner falls into the category of 'potato sticks' and that just ain't cutting it.
As far as something in between, I'd say "pomme frites" or "Belgian" style fries are my favorites, skin intact, with salt (gotta have salt) and garlic mayo.
Oh yeah, think I'm taking my son here for dinner tonight:

They were. That choice is "french fries".
