A chronic culinary problem in the Philippines, where deep-frying is a popular technique (see for example 6.224 NCD Risk Factors), is over-used oil. The repeated/constant cooking at high temperature breaks down the oil’s molecular structure, increasing its acidity – indeed, at MTG’s fish & chips shop (see for example 5.230 johndory Fish & Chips), the deep-fryer had a pH monitor – and generating free radicals. Not only is such oil harmful – free radicals are agents of oxidative stress that accelerates deterioration of cells in the body – it also imparts a funky aftertaste to the food. Very common here, especially in fast food, such as fries and fried chicken.
The fries here, exactly that.
