Out of a bag

Plate

Fast food containers, although handy, are too restrictive. Sometimes your pull one fry out and it pulls another fry with it. Sometimes you lose that other fry. It takes some mental focus to avoid this.

Plate fries are loose and free, and don’t require any thinking.

There’s smth about a basket of fires when I’m eating out that I like

basket, to reduce surface area and keep them hot while still allowing steam to escape so they stay crispy

At a restaurant, a basket is nifty. I didn’t think it changes much, but it gives some variety. But at home we just put them on plates.
