This one claims to make curly fries

You wouldn't want to end up with one of those contraptions which just makes long strands of pukey wet vegetable.

Two cheaper versions:

But which is best? Why are the most important decisions in life so difficult?

Right, the clincher is this pic, clearly showing the centre cutter doing its business in the style and manner of a curly fry. The kids are going to WET THEIR PANTS. Suppose I'd better buy a deep fat fryer now

Im not sure one of those would be strong enough to spiralise a potato

A poor substitute

Aren't 'normal' curly fries made out of reconstituted potato? FFS stop pissing about and go buy a bag of curly fries from your nearest Iceland. No you shouldn't eat that sort of shit every day, but it's OK once in a while as a dubious treat if your kids want some cheap shitty curly fries. Everything in moderation.

And this advice is coming from someone who pretty much cooks from scratch every day.

Possibly the least useful kitchen gadget, ever.

No

Easy, I've done extensive research on this. If you're sober they're quite disappointing, but their perceived quality increases exponentially the more boozes you drink.

Those blooming onion things do that too.

Has anyone got one of the machines then?

it's based on a device used by the spanish inquisition.

It is so cheap and flimsy I didn't even try it. It sits in kitchen purgatory next to the ice cream maker and the chocolate fountain.

Still want one.
