I feel like they used to put a lot of salt on these when I was younger and now I don't know if they received instruction to not do as much as salt or if people just don't put as much salt anymore. I have two questions:

  1. Was the salt level appropriate
  2. what is the appropriate salt level (on a 1-5 encrusting scale)
  1. I think it was an appropriate amount if slightly oversalted but I can't really complain
  2. Depends on how good the fry is i think. these weren't super stout so they did need a fair bit of salt to give defintion.

Start with one or two then keep grabbing larger fingerfuls until around the 6 or 7-per-grab mark i think. Then continue until difficult to grab, at which point, upend the container into my mouth for the bits

this is the only one I remember personally (and even then I feel like I don't properly remember them). I had thought that I remembered the switch from beef tallow to vegetable oil but apparently that happened in 1990 not the mid-to-late 90s so I probably never had the original recipe.
