Tonite, we went out for hamburgers at Frizzles. They have a Senior special on Tuesdays, and you can get a cheeseburger, fries, drink, and ice cream dessert, all for $2.99. It is a regular size cheeseburger, with all the fixin's and for a fast food place, an excellent burger.
So, while I was dipping my french fries in the ketchup, I started thinking about the good old days, when french fries were actually made right there at the hamburger drive-in, and made from freshly cut potatoes.
How I loved those fries ! Sometimes, they were just a little underdone, and I liked them even better then, when they were kind of crunchy.
The ones now are made from cooked, processed, frozen molded potatoes, and they just don't hold even a faint candle to those we used to get that were freshly made.
One place even had a circular potato cutter, and that was where I had my first taste of a "curly fry".
The World that used to be...
