    In the US, those would be called either “steak fries”, “potato wedges”, or perhaps “Jojos”.

      They’re called JoJo’s. I will die on this hill. Same goes for pop and hotdish.

        I was about to ask where the hell you were from, that calling a fry a Jojo was a normal, acceptable thing, and then I didn’t have to.

        Fucking pop. The only thing worse is people in the South south who call every soft drink coke. I hope you are ready to die on that hill, because you’re about to.

        Ugh, “pop”. Your comment has mad Midwest vibes; you sound like my grandma.

        Wtf is hotdish? I’ve never even heard of that before. Even my phone is telling me that that’s not a real word.

        Honestly, the Midwest is something else. It’s like they intentionally do everything their own fucked up way just because.

        “Reece’s Pieces? We’re gonna call them ‘Reecie’s Piecies’, even though the name isn’t ever pronounced ‘Reecie’ and the word is not ever pronounced ‘piecie’, because fuck you.”

        You guys yell at anyone putting ketchup on a hotdog because it’s too sweet, and then proceed to absolutely drown it in sweet relish, the most foul condiment known to man. You guys have no right to consider yourselves the hotdog aficionados after that and only a fool would believe you.

          According to wikipedia

          A hotdish is a casserole dish that typically contains a starch, a meat, and a canned or frozen vegetable mixed with canned soup that must be served hot or warm.

          So it’s just a casserole. Sounds yummy

            Honestly I’m so onboard with hotdish. “Casserole” is one of the least appetizing names for a type of food.

          Never had a hotdish? You should try my tatortot hotdish. You’ll get it then.

          As someone who says reecie’s piecies, honestly it’s just a fun way to say lmao. I’ve just gotten irony poisoned into always saying it.

          How dare you insult relish, it’s an essential part of every hotdog (pls don’t tell my Chicago friends). Honestly I’d much rather have dill relish, but it’s harder to find

        They’re only JoJo’s when they have the skin on them still. Otherwise they’re just thick cut fries.

        It’s soda, though, not pop. No idea what a hotdish even is, a casserole?

        Native midwestern here, but I have no shame. I think ranch sucks, too
