    The Portuguese call them batata frites. I like batatas.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Ah...


    Pommes frites (palm-As free-tAs)


    They are know to Am-aricans as French fries because of ol' T.J. himself, who brought back many dishes to the states from "the continent." While he himself did call them "French Fries," he had served as Minister to France, and referred to the dish in the French language.


    If you have a problem with Am-aricans calling the dish French Fries, blame Thomas Jefferson. Besides, as we all know everything worth inventing was likely invented by the French (who once owned the area now known as Belgium).


    Besides, the idea of frying potatoes in western society was likely invented in the Spanish Netherlands.

    When I decided to remind my fellow orgas about some of the finest parts of the past administration that will never make the history books, I never thought I would learn so much about potatoes...
