Can oven fries not be reverse seared?

Like slow cook'em in the oven then sear the outside on a ripping hot skillet or a quick hot deep fry?

sous vide your oven fries then subject them to ~500F/260C in a little or a lot of fat for a bit to get them crunchy

You've got to break the eggs into a bowl so you can mix the white and yolk together. Otherwise you end up with flavourless, rubbery bits of white and dry, suffocating lumps of yolk ruining your pizza.
Incorrect.

I misjudged the baking time and put them on too early. There was a point that they were perfectly sunny-side-up, but I still had cheese to add on top.

also i wanted it to be very clear that there were eggs involved

I recently found the secret to awesome oven fries. After cutting them soak them in cold water for 30 mins, then drain and let them dry out in the fridge or on the side for at least an hour. Then toss them in oil and do your usual oven fry thing. They come out crispy and perfect
The last time I made fries was basically that process but with the McDonald's method:

blanched in a salt and sugar brine

Then I fried them and the result was fantastic.

The name Welsh Rarebit is basically a racist joke, like "lmao the Welsh are so poor and stupid that they can't afford meat so they'll put cheese on toast and call it rabbit"
As a person of Welsh surname, lmao nah

"it's racist to laugh about the Garbage Plate"

"it's racist to deny that Chicago deep dish pizza is pizza"

There are Scotch and English variations on cheese-on-toast from the mid-18th century too that were also called "rabbit"

Even granting the possibility that it was somehow racism against the Welsh when originally named, I guarantee you that in modern parlance calling "luxurious cheese toast" a "Welsh Rarebit" is in no loving way intended as an insult to the Welsh. You want to see an insult to the Welsh? See the post immediately above this.

Or honey. Something about making spicy foods highly improved with a touch of sugar, I don't really know why.
Sugar cuts the burn even faster than fats (e.g. milk)

It's more of a distraction, though, since it only occupies taste receptors rather than binding with the capsaicin like milk does, so in chili it basically slows the capsaicin onset.

Hell, if we're gonna do text

I sliced up a couple of the lovely hot dogs that have been hanging out in the fridge for a month so I could bag and freeze the rest for "later". Toasted some sesame seeds, put in just a bit of sesame oil, fried up the hot dog slices, then sidelined all that to a bowl.

Put in just enough water, got it to a ripping boil, plopped a ramen brick in (just enough water to reach halfway up). Tossed and mixed in the sriracha chicken flavor packet during the final roiling boil time, then poured it into the bowl.

Then I tossed some frozen green beans in, which warmed up nicely as the whole ensemble dropped to edible temperature.
