Nope, believe it or not, it's true. It's the Burger King flavored body spray - Flame - and it's for real. Check it out here.

When does the French fry flavor come out?

Nellie McKay’s Okay

We don’t exactly see eye-to-eye on a lot of things, especially politically, but I like Nellie McKay’s music, and even though she’s a vegan, I like her cuz she’s also a junkatarian, meaning she likes French fries. She’s okay in my book.

You Say Potatoe…

Nita has some things to say about how things are said, and one of the biggies is the favorite fried food. Check it out here.

Cool stuff, huh? Just remember wherever you are, and whatever you call the favorite fried food, it’ll be, in most cases, tasty.

French Fry Telepathy

Here’s Laume discussing her recent Sookie Stackhouse moment at a Burger King when she ordered onion rings and got French fries instead. Check it out here.

And don’t know who Sookie Stackhouse is? Shame on you. Make sure you check out HBO’s True Blood and the work of author Charlaine Harris.

Tasty Potato Latkes

While we’re still in Chanukah, here’s another recipe from the POTATO-RECIPE Yahoo! Group, this one is for the holiday treat, latkes!

Tasty Potato Latkes

4 medium potatoes, about 1 1/2 pounds
3 tablespoon olive oil
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
2 cloves garlic (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon cooking oil
1/4 - 1/2 cups non-dairy sour cream

1. Peel and finely shred potatoes. In a mixing bowl combine potatoes with olive oil, eggs, garlic (if desired), and salt. Using 1/3 cup mixture for each latke, press mixture into patties about the size of the palm of your hand, squeezing out excess liquid.

2. In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully slide patties into hot oil.

3. Cook over medium-high heat about 2 minutes or until latkes are golden brown, turning once.

4. Repeat with remaining batter. Add cooking additional oil during cooking, as needed.

5. If necessary, reduce heat to medium to prevent over browning. Drain on paper towels and keep warm. Serve with non-dairy sour cream, if desired. Makes about 10 latkes. (Nutrition information is given per latke plus 1 teaspoon non-dairy sour cream.)
