You didn't invent French fries Tom Send a noteboard - 31/03/2015 10:06:13 PM

The modern French fry is thoroughly American. There may have been some Belgian origin to the food that Jefferson tried there and tried to replicate when he came back to his plantation in Virginia, but what they ended up coming up with is as American as blowing shit up on the Fourth of July.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

French fries ruined by being smothered in the most digusting condiment of all time, mayonnaise. *NM* - 30/03/2015 03:21:05 AM 368 Views
