I haven’t given up, but I am getting discouraged!

Well here it is, another Fry Day and there isn’t a fry review. Why is that you may ask? Well it is simple really, I have a sick 11 year old, strep, so I am again stuck at home.

I will get past all this nonsense and have another Fry Day soon. I am jonesing for some french fries now. I am about two quarts low of grease in my arteries so I am going to have to get a fill up soon!

Alright then, I am off to bed. Even though she is sick, she will be up early wanting me to serve her every whim!

This is one of those experiences that went downhill quickly and viciously!

It started out well enough. The appearance of the fries was quite pleasant. I was actually looking forward to digging into them. The color was nice, they smelled good. I just didn’t notice the shine!

These fries were very very greasy and not in a good way. It was visible on the packaging and all over my fingers after eating just one. I did not know a fry could hold twice it’s weight in grease but I do now!

The spicing on the fries was good, in other words you could taste it. But what kept overbearing everything else was the taste of grease. They tasted just like the grease smells, yuck! Sadly, I had to stop eating them well before they were gone as I just couldn’t take the greasiness anymore. I may have to go get my arteries roto rootered out after this!

Conclusion, well I used to like Arby’s fries but I think this experience will change that forever!

How about a couple of photos of the artery cloggers:

Note the grease stains on the box!

Fry Day

I love fry day, the day when we celebrate the greatest contribution to the culinary experience. The taste of potato and grease is an experience that few will forget and even fewer will not experience multiple times. Personally I love the crinkle cut type, the thin ones cool off too fast!

I used to love McD’s fries till they started on their national save a potato campaign. In which they put about 6 or 7 fries in the small size and boost it up by 4 fries for each size increment. Now I am a Wendy’s fry lover, only because their small is the same amount as McD’s medium used to be!

Yes I love those cut up spuds….

What?

Not Fry Day?

Friday?

Oh, never mind.
