Ze new poll! Fries!

Should have made that a two-pick multiple choice poll.

Hmmm, why is that?

[Rusozak]

Beligan fries? Is that a different way or cooking them or just a regional name for them? I'm American, it's always been called french fries (except when it was briefly freedom fries in 2003).

So I could pick shoestrings and potato wedges. But really, fried potatoes in almost any form are ambrosia.

[Geneviev]

Curly fries are the only right answer.

[Kiu Ghesik]

Wrong, sweet potato curly fries. Sweet potatoes make everything better.

We have those but we don't call them that. They look like what Americans would call steak fries or just thick cut french fries.

[Atheris]

Curly Fries are the superior Fries.

Oh, God. Arby's makes some good ass curly fries.

[Farnhamia]

Who likes pineapple on their fried potatoes? *giggles and runs away*

My family calls them Gump fries, because my grandmother's paternal last name was Gump, and she's always made thick fries from potatoes.

Your father's mother was named Gump? That would make it your surname, too.

...I might've worded that wrong.

My maternal grandmother's maiden name. There we go.

My last name isn't Gump. ...Which sucks, because then I would legally change my name to Forrest.

There's no reason you couldn't use Gump, it is a family name, after all. Change that first and then ...

Unrelated to whatever Forrest Gump discussion is going on right now, but if you’re an adult and you genuinely like waffle fries, I’m not sure if I can go without judging you. Why? Not because of the waffle, but rather every place that I’ve ever seen make waffle fries uses bad individual fries to make up that waffle. Now, a crinkle-cut cheese waffle fry? I can respect that.

Sorry, what? My mandolin has a waffle attachment, makes nice waffled slices. You're being a little too parochial in this.

[Bear Stearns]

I consume a lot of acai smoothies.

[Minskiev]

I’m being like a small Christian administrative district? What?

And I wasn’t saying that I don’t like waffle fries because they’re waffle fries, I don’t like most waffle fries because they consist of bad fries.

Oh, Google didn’t show me the second definition. I just probably typed it in a weird way.

Wow,It turns out that someone's surname is Gump...I thought it was just a joke from the director.So is there anyone in your father's mother's family called Forrest Gump?

I believe in the power of cheese fries.

I often order them at Shake Shack.

Cheese fries are good, yeah. You've opened the door to Quebec's insidious plot to destroy America by clogging its arteries, you know.

I don't think America needs Canada's help with that, lol.

It's too good.

One of the things I miss about Quebec. They do something magical with the gravy.
