• Hey, that’s a good point. Fried apples might me sweeter than fried potatoes, but they’d be much more similar than in other forms. Frying tends to bring out the sweetness in carbs.

      Fried apples? Maybe that’s a Texas thing, or Scottish, but it wouldn’t be a source of confusion in France because they’d take your passport away if you tried frying an apple.

        Fried apples are sliced into small pieces and cooked with butter, cinnamon, and stuff. They’re quite good. It’s not a battered and deep fried thing. Frying covers a large range of cooking styles.

        French people do eat apple beignets, which are basically fried apples.

        If you’ve never had one before, apple beignets are easy to make and delicious, plenty of recipes around.

          That’s right I guess, but at least in a beignet there’s a bit of preparation involved, I was picturing just whole fried apples or maybe like french fries but made of apple, but you’re right I guess beignet counts.

        But only an apple they’d picked themselves or received from a trusted supplier with legible labeling, since it otherwise might be a potato.
