What's worse?

**el desporado** · 01-12-2006, 11:59 PM

I asked this question to a few people and I keep getting different answers.

"What's worse: warm beer or cold french fries?"

I know in some parts of the world beer is drunk at room temp, so those of you who do you don't get a vote. Cheers.

Warm beer for me is worse... Unless the cold fries in question are over a day old.

Then it's a toss up. In this area of the country (as I'm sure in yours as well), beer isn't just called "beer".. it's called ColdBeer..

All one word.

Yes, I am a pussy American and I admit it. I like Beer cold, ice fucking cold, on ice in a bucket or cooler. There's nothing to me like cracking open my favorite brand or non-favorite right out of the cooler.

Especially in a 105 degree Texas Summer, after mowing the lawn. Damn, makes me crave Summer!

Warm beer. Without a doubt. Is there actually any question?

**KramerGeek** · 01-13-2006, 07:57 AM

I pondered this one for a while and I'm sorry but I'm going against the crowd this time.

Since I'm mostly Irish and have the European blood, I don't really mind if the beer is not ice cold although I prefer it that way.

Here's my reasoning though.

If a beer is warm, it can be cooled by putting it in the fridge.

If fries get cold, it doesn't matter what you do to reheat them, they are still greasy slices of skanky a$$ potatoes that are going to taste like something that got scraped off of the bottom of my shoe.

I put way to much effort into this kind of stuff. I just wasted all of my morning goof off time at work.

**jumbowolfe** · 01-13-2006, 08:12 AM

LOL Pat.

My trick is this on to go French Fries. If they are still slightly warm, but don't have that fresh out of the frier taste, I put them in the micro for no more than 10 seconds. This way, it doesn't make them tough, but brings back that extra frier punch to them to make em taste fresh again.

Now super cold ones, once they are dead, they are gone. You cannot bring back ice cold fries from the dead.

Fries have to be crispy on the outside and like mashed potatoes on the inside. Once they get cold, you can't bring back the crispy texture.

**TommysGs** · 01-13-2006, 09:39 AM

Apples and oranges.
They both suck if they are not consumed in the
right amount of time after recieving them.

Together at the same time would double suck.

**Dr. Greenthumb** · 01-13-2006, 09:46 AM

Well, If fries get cold you can always heat them up, I don't mind soggy fries if I am hungry or have the munchies after one has been out partying.

I have eaten worse.

But warm beer, I admit I am not a fan of at all, it has to be cold!

Soggy cold fries amd warm beer seem to bring back some strange memories of long ago, and for some reason that picture of the big girl in the leopard undies, in the other thread, keeps poping into my mind....

strange.....

I just barfed.

I'm going with pat here, cold fries. A beer is always fun even if it is room temperature. Cold fries are dead you can reheat them once if it is reaaaally a last hope but twice is right out. (but that's just my opinion on it)
Beer without bubbles now that's something that's worse then both.

**ullathorne** · 01-13-2006, 02:29 PM

Now as much as i love the USA, Visited 13 times since 1996.
I must say this. You boys are dreadful at making Beer

Its either as weak as Piss or has no flavour.
Your micro brewery pubs though are going a little way to correct this.
I must agree though. Last time i was in Texas it was absolutely crazy heat. So an ice cold Shiner bock was the only thing to do the Trick.
But as a rule i never have beer "ice cold" you just loose the flavour. I enjoy cold beer.

But fries must be scorching!!

But theres nothing better in the winter then find a country pub, open log fire and half a dozen real ale beers. This link is to one of my favourites.

All the best
Andy.

An open fire, an acoustic guitar, and any really dark imported beer (NewCastle, SchwarzBier, or Guinness) makes a perfect evening.

**ullathorne** · 01-13-2006, 02:44 PM

Pat you have nailed it buddy.
Ps little gift in post to you tomorrow Pat.

All the best
Andy

**Galaxyssb** · 01-13-2006, 03:06 PM

I can handle yard cool Beer, but not Piss hot beer!

French fries? Throw them away! I'll get my food out of the beer.. Plenty of barley and hops wheat and rice.. I'll Get my food there.. Who needs French fries!

**Krameration** · 01-13-2006, 04:35 PM

Well...if I had to eat cold French Fries...I would at least like to be able to wash them down with a warm Beer...and that's all I've got to say about that

**ullathorne** · 01-13-2006, 04:46 PM

Who in there right mind would drink warm beer?

**Krameration** · 01-13-2006, 04:48 PM

Who in there right mind would eat cold French Fries

Now...if you were talking about cold pizza...that the bomb

**warrenp099** · 01-13-2006, 05:09 PM

If you drink enough warm beer the fries can be cold and you won't care.

**ullathorne** · 01-13-2006, 05:16 PM

COLD PIZZA

**Steve EZ** · 01-13-2006, 05:24 PM

To the tune of Suspicious Minds (Elvis)

I ain't eatin' this crap
It's been left out
Because I love cold beer too much baby

The fries can't re-heat

Cold beer you can't beat

Then you can't understand a word I say?

We can drink beer together
With delicious fries
And we can ignore the weather
With delicious fries

So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
A case of Heineys, bag of fries

Here we go again
Forgettin' where I?ve been
You can?t see these beers are cold
I?m buying

We can drink beer together
With delicious fries
It doesn't get any better
With delicious fries

Oh let the night arrive
Or drinking beers and eating fries
Let?s don?t let a good thing die

When taters get cold
Warm beer won't do
Mmm yeah, yeah

I ain't eatin' this crap
It's been left out
Because I love cold beer too much baby

**jumbowolfe** · 01-13-2006, 10:54 PM

Dude, I'll never be able to hear that song correctly again, tears are rolling off my face!!!

LOL!!!

Pat - All that talk about Newcastle is making my mouth water. You're making me want to go up to Achmed's convienence store and grab a sixer of it. God I love that stuff.

Mike

Steve you are "NUTS"

Too funny .
You should be on stage man!!!
Mike can you get Newcastle Brown Ale easy in TX?
If not i will throw a few in the case for the trip to TN.

**jumbowolfe** · 01-14-2006, 08:23 AM

Ah man, thanks, but its pretty easy to get here. My grocery store thats about a block away stocks it.

There's one beer I wish I could get hold of here thats made in Utahar (said like Ishtar because those of you who know Utah will understand), but its made in Park City. I can't remember the name of it, but it starts with a W. I used to drink the crap out of that stuff. My buddy would bring it back after he would go visit his Dad.

They had a brew called "Biker Beer", it was bad ass. But, they are a micro, so they don't release very much of it and it stays in Utahar mostly.
