: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.

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.

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:

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.

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.
