Yeah, potatoes are so starchy, there's really no mixing them with other starches. It puts a whole new spin on redundancy.

Redundancy, heh. A chip butty is awesome comfort food. Of course, the rolls are so much better over there. It is worth getting up early and getting to the baker's first thing, then hurrying home to have a bacon sandwich (with ayrshire bacon) while the rolls are still warm.

In Utah you can get fry sauce, which is essentially ketchup and mayo already mixed. Sometimes it's barbecue sauce and mayo. Well, actually, the various fry sauce recipes are closely held secrets of various restaurants and manufacturers, but it's very much of the yum.

OMGYUM.

Karl Rove should go to prison for treason, no?

He should, but he will probably weasel out of it.

Mmm, ranch dressing.

I like Jello with whipped cream, but I'd never make it at home. It's cafeteria food.

In Israel, it seemed like most places put french fries into falafel.

It's absolutely yummy this way! But not just the fries and the pita - there should be fresh vegetables choped to a salad in there to, as well as humus and tehina (I have no idea what is its English name).

Another different-foods-related question, regarding the packaging: in Israel, we have little baggies (made of plastic) that contain cold chocolate milk. It's a little less than a cup/mug in content, so it's easy to carry around, even for kids. The baggie is closed, so there's no messing with a cap that can fall of a bottle or something. When the kid wants to drink, they can just bite the corner of the baggie off, and squeeze the chocolate milk through the hole, straight to their mouths. Most kids in Israel get their chocolate milk (and in many cases, therefore, milk) this way.

A friend just told me that a guest from the USA was horrified when my friend offered that sort of chocolate milk baggie to the guest's kid, and that was the first time I ever thought that this form of drinking may not be completely international. So I came here to ask. I couldn't google a picture of that sort of baggie (no Hebrew on this computer...), so I'm afraid I can't explain myself any better that this.

Karl Rove should go to prison for treason, no?

It would have to be proven that he knew he was outting a covert operative. If he didn't know she was covert, then he wouldn't be guilty. I doubt that he could be found guilty.

The real question is, what was Karl thinking?! The whole point of being an oily right-hand man is that you make other people do the Evil Operative stuff. If the general public already knows your name, don't be the guy who commits the big felony crime. You know?

In a political world other than this one, such a revelation would be grounds for immediate falling-upon-sword. But, these days anyone Republican can do no wrong, so he'll probably be promoted.

I guess he doesn't particularly care how he'll be savaged in future analyses of history and politics, or else he wouldn't have gone into the weasel business in the first place.

I loved the episode of American Dad when the dad was running for deacon of his church and he brought Rove in for the election. When he got to the door of the church, he just stood at the door and couldn't cross the threshold. When he left, he dispersed into a bunch of bats and flew away. It's the the closest I've ever seen anyone come to capturing the essense of Karl.

I do mayo on fries. I also like to mix the ketchup and mayo. And I love cheese fries with spicy ranch dressing. If it's fatty, I'll basically eat it on fries.

Bags of juice that one punctures with a straw are pretty common here. I don't know why someone would find a bag of milk so odd, I haven't seen bags of milk, but I wouldn't think it would be odd if I did. There's the juice precedent.
