What are more expensive, French Fries or Home fries ?

[nazali]

On a bunk from work today, so went to my usual cafe

got the special,
3 eggs (over easy) 2 bacon *soft", 2 sausgages , 2 ham "substitute for bacon " Bacon is proper bacon not that crappy Canadian peameal, 2 white toast, coffee and FRENCH FRIES instead of Home fries

French fries $2 extra...

Did think at the time, as service is good and my usual eatery

but WHY are FF extra, if your getting the same amount and both products are potatoes and done on a griddle or deep frier

1st world problems I know

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

Huh? What even is the difference?

[billnchristy]

Home fries are chunks of potato

Easier prep if the french fries are hand cut, but since they're probably in a bag, no clue why they'd cost more.

dude its just insane markup that all restaurants have taken part of due to "inflation" which i agree is happening. but some restautny have nearly doubled their prices. like fries are cheap AF period. I know a pizza shop, 5 dollars a slice. the fuck its pizza

Steak fries made out of steak.

Taking all your base items out of this, and assuming you have the same amount of electricity costs to heat a griddle vs heating the oil, and the same labor amount to cut fries vs cutting home fries, the only additional costs would be the oil used to cook these. As you have about a table spoon to cook the home fries, vs the entire fryer that would need changed out constantly (every couple days to weekly).

Now, if they heat the griddle for everything else, home fries can just be added. So I'd assume an extra cost for heating the fryer.

Then, we're talking the possibility of them cutting a potato for the home fries, and using a pre-made bag for the french fries, which I would assume has an additional cost.

The fact you got french fries with breakfast is the real issue here. Who does that? Your a hooligan and should probably seek help. They're probably trying to teach you a lesson...

fucking godly analysis

everyone says I took it to far if I do something similar

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

Ahhh hahaha ok I understand now guys. The home fries are just like normal breakfast potatoes?

I agree with the above, OP what have you done! French fries for breakfast???

Because the deep fryer is probably not up to temperature during breakfast hours, not to mention if they are using frozen french fries that are not in the breakfast cooler prep bins and require a special trip to fetch them from the freezer.

I have a similar problem in reverse at a local diner here. Their frozen french fries are way too salty for me, so I order hash browns instead with my lunch/dinner. Almost every time, they substitute home fries because the hash brown supplies are not out after breakfast. No difference in price, though.....

I mean, shitty fast food places serve you tater tots for breakfast so I don't see them being such a monster, but yeah, it is a bit odd.

[nazali]

couple of points, ok, this makes sense !
and its bagged chips... french fries,, makes sense.

The breakfast comes with home fries, I dont like eating chunks of potatoes for breakfast, now, if it was say a HASHBROWN, ok now your talking, crsipy outside, soft inside.

But if I have a choice, it's french fries.

I mean how else do you mop up the yellow of the eggs !

You make the weirdest posts.

[MassWholeBimmer]

I would have thought fries are cheaper. Probably not home made. Dump a bunch from the bag into the fryolayor. Done.

Ps

I would have got pumpernickel or Rye..

Those are pictures of people putting eggs on their lunch.

BTW people eat pizza for breakfast, they drive 25mph in the left lane, they watch Kardashians... doesn't make it right.

Pizza for breakfast is common. Some people buy (or make it themselves) pizza and regularly have some the next morning for breakfast.

The most grievous sin, which you have neglected to mention, are people who use a fork and knife to eat pizza.

And I'm not talking deep dish pizza.

One of our members is guilty of this. I'll not name him, for he knows what he is.

Depends on the pizza and the hunger level. I've committed this sin when I'm given one of those floppy ass lava hot pizzas and I'm hangry! I'll start eating it with a knife and fork until it cools off or until I have eaten enough where the risk of having all the cheese fall off and give me 3rd degree burns has subsided.

IMO an even bigger sin is leaving all the fucking pizza crust behind!

I've never eaten it with a knife and fork but have had it so hot, because I can't wait, that I've burned the hell out of myself.
