So the other night, I was getting ready for work, and asked my dad to make me something for dinner before I left. So he made me an omelet and some french fries. What a weird combination, huh?
Anyway, my mom had purchased a Fry Baby, because she remembered her parents having a Fry Daddy (a beefier version) as a kid, and it has pretty much only served the function of french fries and chicken nuggets. But yeah, it's interesting how we have a separate contraption for french fries & the like, just like we have a toaster and blender. I don't know if everyone else in America has one of these things, but they're pretty handy.
French fries are one of those things I can eat all the time, be it with a random omelet for dinner (even though people eat home fries often with breakfast), or just as a snack. I don't believe it's the most healthy thing I can eat (aren't there carrot sticks in my fridge?) but it's almost like a staple now in my house to have a bag of store brand french fries in the freeze to pop in the Fry Baby whenever needed.
So. For my college class, "You Are What You Eat," a socilogy class discussing the consumption of food in America, we were given the option of starting a blog. In said blog, we are to write about a certain type of food. I chose french fries.
Why? They are amazing and delicious of course.
Throughout this journal, I will analyze the french fry, what they're made out of (not just potatoes), who makes them, what different kinds there are, and what I observe in the world about them.
French fries are everywhere. I'm pretty sure I see at least one every day (although they usually travel in bunches), and it will be interesting to find out more about them.
Chances are, I'll never want to eat them again when I am done, haha.
But they're so deliciousssssssss...
