@rotuts M of E is pretty popular down here. WaWa, Rolling Rock (which nobody not in Jr High drinks) and Yeungling (which we all drink) mentions go a long way.

Why is vodka filtered at all - what else can possibly be removed?

I agree. But the expensive stuff is smoother on my tongue. -

I'd say use the disc that makes look like it was box-grated with my 4-sided grater.

I've wondered too re rinsing since for potato pancakes or latkes, I end up dusting them with flour. I think rinsing matters for hashed browns, though. And wringing probably is useful for both. Thoughts?

Even if it lasts a year or two...bargain today and tomorrow. $29 vac sealer. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H4X4P5C?fbclid=IwAR0AjfwOlJEPi1N1mDMfY_BpJrbS56yuqOuquRTFI6eKsNMDQ2frC8ja7Mc

To me, grated is by hand on a box grater with a raw potato. Food processors have a disc for this as well. If for pancakes or hashed browns, I soak them to rinse off starch and then squeeze dryish in a dish towel.

When potatoes cool their starch can re-arrange itself (from the changes wrought by heating to the gelification point) and change texture. Over the years I've seen this after cooling in some boiled potatoes and not other types cooked at the same time(IIRC red potatoes didn't and purple did). So at least some of the issue with the cooled fries may be potato type and not method of cooking. Somewhere lurking on eG is a retrogradation maven who can address this.

Its tasty.

Thank you! Cultural appropriation is a hot (and stupid) topic right now. Britain's adoption of Indian cuisine is a perfect example of appropriation as those who discuss it would say. Its craziness. It isn't wrong morally, as some charge; and it isn't somehow dishonest. But chicken tikka marsala isn't british cooking even though invented in a restaurant in Britain, just as Gen'l Tso's chicken isn't american

I don't appreciate being labelled a troll. I never said British food uses no spices nor did I say that spices were appropriated. I did say that if one cited Indian cuisine as evidence, THAT would be cultural appropriation. So don't twist what I said.
-
"Kind of gross" is perfectly valid and sums up things neatly. Use of pepper is not the same as considering a dish that is thoroughly Indian in spirit (which I don't think you've done yet) A problem may be that you consider discussion of what you write in a thread you started as trolling and "knocking" you. We are just supposed to sit back and shower you with "likes"?

There may be trouble with the definition of British food. Is British food the best example available from Fergus Henderson (or whom ever) or is it the average food on menus? Does one consider appropriated cuisines like Indian?..I think not. Most of the classic dishes leave me cold. Shepherd's pie, toads in holes, fish and chips are capable of being tasty but are kind of gross too. (Roasted beef with yorkshire pudding is beautifully simple and good, however). The argument that there are great ingredients available to the UK isn't helpful to the thesis that British food gets a bum rap
-
You may have a point, but so far, items 1 and 2 are straw men that you have set up to knock down. Do people actually say that Brits use no spices and have bad ingredients? I haven't heard this. And one cannot say "look at all the Indian spices they use". Cultural appropriation doesn't count. But carry-on.

It is big for an air Fryer, but it does so much more. Most used appliance in my kitchen.

That sounds illegal, mislabeled meat.

Superheated. WTF does that mean?
