Fries or Onion Rings?


OFten onion rings are greasy... Their outer crust is great, but the interior onion is miserable... so I think the contest between the two is unfair. Potato frying is usually pretty easy when done by those who do it regularly and have a deep fat fryer/timer etc.
It's much harder to do the same for wet-based veg like the onion.
Do fries AND onion rings and rate whether you'll ever have them again at this particular place. Some places do seem to specialize in them. But always a chance they'll be mediocre. But be adventurous.
Ohhh shit I like both that’s hard to choose. I always get both lol love me some potatoes and onions lmao
Onion rings are always my choice between the two.
Always.
Years ago, I realized that I almost always choked when trying to swallow fries.
They'd stick in my throat.
Fries are too dry to suit me, and I'm not a fan of slathering them in ketchup to lubricate them, either.
Cheers!
They're both delicious, but personally, I give a slight edge to onion rings. Especially when they're homemade, omg 🤤
I lean toward fries most of the time 🍟
Crispy outside, fluffy inside, salted just right, they remind me of tiny bistros in Paris and late-night fry stalls in Tokyo experimenting with seaweed salt and yuzu mayo.
But a well-made onion ring, with a light, shattery batter and sweet, soft onion, especially with a spicy dip, can steal the show too 🧅🔥

I love onion rings. But about 1 in 100 places can get the batter right. Light and crisp. Most arrive as thick, grease soaked, nasty donuts.
This is a trick question.
There are bad fries and good rings… I’d take the rings.
BUT…… there are good fries and bad rings…. I’d take the fries.
If (and that’s a big IF) they both are the best they can be….. I’d take the fries.
My honest answer: I'm not from British ancestry, bloody fucking Mary.
Go back whence you came with your onions dipped in breadcrumbs and eggs. Also fries or chips don't pair with fish. That would be unholy.
Depends. If the onion rings are the proper thick beer-battered sort, then onion rings (though i have some issue digesting them if I have more than two or three). If the fries are wedges or steak fries then it's a toss-up.
As for me I’m voting for fries on this one because overall I eat more fries. I rarely eat onion rings & for all the onion ring fans out there maybe they can ground up onion rings & turn them into fries. I’m getting hungry, thanks a lot.
It kind of depends where. Not all fries and onion rings are created equal. I will say though that most fries are good. While the quality of onion rings can vary wildly depending where you get them. Fries ate almost always a safe bet. While onion rings can be a tasty treat or a wild gamble. So I guess it depends where I'm at and or if I'm in a gambling mood.
I have to say fries generally, but onion rings are a nice change from time to time.
@ladybecks You didn't mention fried pickle chips.
@ladybecks Your profile picture doesn't suggest a woman who eats fries very often.
I would have guessed croissants and baguettes.
@You're in the United States?
Are you a "burger" person?
Good onion rings always win for me. They're relatively close to me, but onion rings comes out a little ahead.
Depends, if the onion rings are well made then that otherwise fries.
I like both. I get fries more often because they are more readily available. Not every place that has fries also has onion rings.
Onions rings. Fries can be bland and boring.
Fries can be OK if they are homemade; otherwise, neither.
Fries, but we call them chips in the UK. Short for potato chips. Fries could mean anything fried, in theory. Like friend onion rings, eh?
Well I like both but since you made me choose I'll go with onion rings... especially if they were handmade
Usually fries but onion rings as an occasional treat.
Onion rings if they are good, fries if the onion rings suck. I like onion rings battered like the ones in the picture
Onion rings if they are homemade (not frozen)
Fries if they are made right there like certain restaurants do
Eithr, u should hav made this a poll includin with this option.
Typically, onion rings, but sometimes the place has phenomenal fries.
When you eat them together They make eachother more delicious.
I mostly do fries cause most onion rings fall apart
I’ll go for the onion rings, but still enjoy FF
Fries most of the time, but sometimes onion rings are king!
Fries please.
homemade fries...
I could eat five or more whole onions in the form of onion rings. Fries have nothing on the delicacy that is the onion ring.
I can't choose one to another. Both of is beautiful
