When you peel potatos, chop them up into small (1"by1") pieces then cover them in oil and spices and bake them in the oven (or fry in a pan on top of the stove) what are they called?
My family always called them fried potatos but techincally if you're making them in the oven they aren't fried. :unsure:

I have them down in my recipe book as 'fried spiced potatoes' :unsure:. I usually do them in a yoghurt sauce though.

They're not baked because you're using oil. You're roasting them.

They're called roasted potatoes.

Roasties like.

The commercial fries that you buy at the supermarket are baked in the oven but they're still called french fries.
What does it matter what they're called anyway?

He's right. Judging by the pic they are most definitely roasted tatties.

Spam egg lettuce tomatoes potatoes and spam.

What kind of English breakfast is that.

07-13-2008, 01:19 PM
Tsk! It's not spam, it's Quorn bacon. You're supposed to use streaky bacon but I had to adapt it :(. It did taste lovely though....OH reckons it's the best thing I've ever cooked. Although that could actually be an insult I guess :ermm:

You should stab him in the eye if he's saying that's the best thing you've ever cooked.

Oh and it's not Quorn bacon. It's Quorn Quorn.

Bacon is made out of pigs.

Oh, and Mulder, I read somewhere that on average, the left one is usually slightly larger than the right onw. Correct me if I'm wrong, Sqeamus :D

Mr. Mulder
07-13-2008, 04:04 PM
is that because most (normal) people are right handed and thus the right bewb gets more action\exercise? :unsure:

Hmm.
That reminds me, Tim Hortons has hash browns now.
I tried one alst week and they were amazing but it's so small.
About 2 inch by 2 inch. :huh:
In the picture they make it look huge by putting mini donuts next to it. :glag:
