I am with grh on this one. Tater tots, but nothing beats McDonalds fries when they are fresh and hot.

:wah: IF someone hands me a plate of good cheese fries loaded with bacon bits and some ranch dipping sauce, I cannot say no. It would be a sin. :wah:

But just plain fries or tator tots..I usually pass!

I like my tator tots in a bowl with onions, seasoning salt, shredded cheese, sour cream, bacon bits and sliced olives. Just like my baked potatoes.

Fries if they're McDonalds' fries or Sonic or Big Boy, otherwise I like the Tots.

I looked it up

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tater_Tots

but then i had to look up hash brown

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_browns

I think they're talking about chips and potato fritters. These are people that eat pancakes for breakfast:-3 or is that canadians?

While we're at it what are grits? We grit our roads but I don't think it is that kind of grit.

F-fries.

Chezzie · Post by **Chezzie** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 9:41 am

tater tots are english hash browns arent they ( or us hash browns) dunno who invented them lol

Grits???? Jeeez sounds like id need the dentist after a bowl of that.

observer1 · Post by **observer1** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 11:03 am

They're like hash browns, but shaped more in a ball than a flat cake.

Grits are a southern food here. I don't much care for them. Can't see the point in eating something that has to be mixed with something else to make it taste edible. And I lived in the south as a little girl!

Tater Tots are commonly found in the U.S. in cafeterias and school lunch-counters, as well as the supermarket frozen food aisle and some fast food restaurants. In Australia, they are known as "potato gems" or "potato pom-poms" (also used in the UK and New Zealand) and "

oven crunchies" in the UK. McCain Foods

Limited calls their line of tater tots Tasti Taters.

aw, GMC...you've never had oven crunchies?? :wah:

gmc · Post by **gmc** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 10:30 am

Do you lot eat any kind of normal food? What's polenta? Ah looked it up.

and no I've never had oven crunchies. McCain Oven chips are OK but not as good as the real thing even with nippy sauce.

Sheryl · Post by **Sheryl** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 10:34 am

Well it depends on what you consider normal?

sunny104 · Post by **sunny104** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 10:46 am

they eat sheep stomachs or balls or whatever it is and *we're* the weird ones?? :rolleyes:

Seasoned steak fries. Like joe joes or wedges.

In Tampa because of the Latin community alot of the markets had stuffed potatos. It was a round fist sized ball with seasoned beef on the inside mashed potato surrounding it then fried and crispy on the outside. Yum.

They had a similar thing except it was seasoned crab meat with a breading on the outside then fried. Oh My God !!! Too good.
