well anyway, don't eat too many.. it's starch, really.. I'd say my favorite kind to buy in stores are crinkle cuts.. after that, curly.. aftr that, steak fries.. after that, tater tots..

what toppings/dip, besides ketchup/catsup do folks dig?

thick salsa isn't bad.. also melted cheese whiz/velveeta (nacho!), but i try not to go overboard..

oh, and barbecue sauce.. :cool:

On another level, who likes their ketchup cold (me!) and who likes it room temperature... my mom doesn't like it cold...

i eat them anyway...

and there should be no such thing as catsup....heinz ketchup is the only way to go...

i usually leave my salsa and cheese for my chips, but with fries, my favorite is either brown gravy or salt and vinegar (thanks to kennywood)

frozen vegetables are the freshest you can get apart from growing them yourself.

fruit and vegetables lose nutrients every hour after theyre picked. but frozen stuff locks in the goodness.

frozen are only good if you cook them right....otherwise they taste like crap

considering today i had a bag of frozen french fries for dinner.... i was almost about to feel guilty about it, but since i now know they're veggies, i feel like ive done my part to stay healthy and good.
can ketchup count as tomato? then i could say i had two vegetables.

ketchup is basically smashed tomtatoes and vinegar...kind of like eating applesauce with cinnamon maybe?

french fries go well with mayonnaise; and apple slices are really good when dipped in salsa

whoever thought of the freedom fries idea should be shot...

its things like that where the congress goes wrong...instead of debatin whether or not to call foods by a new name, why dont they fix our shotty healthcare system or revive social security

yes the boy here is correct
they freeze the best of the harvest because by the time it would get to market it would be spoiled

I love french fries, but I don't try to make myself feel better about eating them by pretendieng that they're healthy.
