Aldi Thin & Crispy Fries vs McDonalds Fries

2.2K Posts


I used to eat at McDonalds a lot, but stopped in the early/mid 1990s for various reasons.
One thing I'm curious about: I used to like their chips/fries. Recently I've been oven cooking Aldi 'Thin & Crispy' fries, and as far as my memory holds, these are a very good substitute.
However, I'd like to ask if anyone with more recent experience of both McDonalds fries and Aldi 'Thin & Crispy' fries (I prefer to call both 'chips') could say how they compare.
What prodded me to ask is that I saw some McDonald's fries spread all over the ground in the town centre, and I noted that they looked awful. Not crispy looking at all. Hence, I suspect that cooked properly (I cook them differently from the recommendations on the packet after trial and error), the Aldi ones might actually be better.
Sorry if this is an odd question, but I would very much like to know the answer

When I visit the local McDonalds the fries I get are always crisp on the outside. I'd take them back if they were limp as they are either not cooked properly or stale.
I remember stopping on a school trip, somewhere on a motorway and buying a portion of fries I think it was burger king or something similar, we didn't have anything like them in our town. They were fabulous, best chips I had ever tasted. Never did have anything like them again.
