lol now that's a funny thread
Yes fries are vegetables but the fried part doesn't help much lol.
You can eat decent fries as long as they are fried lightly in Extra Virgin Olive oil.
trick is -> start 'em up in the oven, so they start lightly browning up. then finish 'em up with a quick dip in the fryer filled with clean olive oil. Gives a nice taste to 'em too
oh and not too much salt :P Salt = bad for slugs AND humans (in too large quantity) but slugs with garlic butter and cheese are good for humans (yummy! :D)
