    People, PEOPLE!!!! The potato is not the bad guy. Us eating more than 5 with butter, fried in oil and showered in salt is the bad thing. Slice a potato up. Spray some butter Pam on it (0 calories). Bake it until your desired texture. Sprinkle something with no salt and use a lil katsup. You'll be fine. Look up the calorie calculator and see what that does. Someone suggest a sweet potato. Even smarter idea!

    Mmmmm... French Fries. I'm a carboholic (diabetic). I will celebrate by remembering some of my dearly departed friends ....

    McDonalds fries - long and thin and salty.

    Wendy's - may I please have a extra large fry with my gallon of Ketchup?

    Bojangles/Popeyes - Seasoned & battered cajun fries with another Gallon of Ketchup and 2 Liters of Coke.

    And just "Chips" with malt vinegar.

    Please hold the Heart Attack.

    Thanks .... oh well. Off to the Salad bar to pig out.

    Hmm. I have to disagree. Potato's are evil :mad: - they're my carboholic gateway drug. :explode: Baked, fried, made into chips ... etc.

    Those are OK ... never really into the whole waffle thing - kind of french fry abuse if you ask me. :laugh:

    :o I think I will buck the trend here and celebrate! A small order of waffle fries from Chick-Fil-A is only 270 calories and 125 mg of sodium. . . . and they fry them in canola oil, so no trans fats :D

    Neither the French or McDonald's do this invention anything like justice. The true delicacy is fat, chunky British chips, piping hot out of the deep fat fryer, and drenched in fresh vinegar. (Optionally served with mushy peas, curry sauce or a pickled egg).

    Enough porn for the day ?
