mmm French Fries

French Fries, they aren't really french (actually started in Belgium), but they are fried. They have become a very popular side to the hamburger and have probably helped the ketchup industry make more money than they thought they could ever make. On the other side of the pond, they use mayonnaise, which just sounds completely gross to me, but then again, things are different over there.

Anyways, so who has the best french fries. Many people would argue down to the bone that McDonald's does. Recently McDonald's agreed to get rid of the trans fat in their Fries to show that they are health conscious. This modification to the McD French Fry could have a larger impact than they desired. The taste just isn't the same, and never will be. That small amount of trans fat that was in every fry, people's body's will crave it and not know what to do without it when they eat these fries.

On the bright side, this will give other fast food restaurants a great shot at the top fry... maybe Wendy's or Burger King will step up to the plate and hit a home run.

The future of French Fries, i foresee that some day there will be fries stuffed with chicken or steak, carrots, or some other kind of food. Much like the stuffed crust pizza, soon the trend will catch on to the fries. And when it does, i will say... I told you so.
