AND A SIDE OF FRIES!

     AND A SIDE OF FRIES!

  Whatever's on your menu today you'll
probably want to include an order of
French Fries!
   You see July 13th is "National French
Fries Day!"
    Seems no matter what folks order,
hot dogs, burgers, even chicken, the
most popular side dish is French Fries.
     As I explained in an earlier blog
the potato treat we call "French Fries"
likely hailed from Belgium originally.
As a natter of fact if your ordered in
Belgium you'd ask for "Belgium Fries!"
     In England they're called "Chips."
     Thomas Jefferson is credited with
introducing them in America! Most
people probably think it was Ronald
McDonald!
       In any case they became very
popular very quickly!
       Americans consume 30 pounds
of potatoes per person per year. 25% 
of those potatoes are made into french 
fries.
       Of course there's only one
acceptable way to observe this
holiday and that's by getting an order
of French fries, or whatever you call
them where you are!
         Hope you don't overdo the salt
and that all your NEWS is good!
