NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You still write "cheque" though, don't you? Please oh dear god swear that you still write "cheque"!

Tim in non Nixpicking post shock! I'll continue to push my luck and now ask what "etymologically" means? And how this stuff is spelt on bottles.

(Ketchup is sometimes called tomato sauce over here. Or just red sauce, which is different from brown sauce, also called fruit sauce, which is similar but not quite the same as barbeque sauce.)

--------------------
Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I love barbecue sauce on chips. My fianc�e has this snack she does with salt & vinegar crinkled crisps, sprinkled with crumbled Cheddar cheese and green Tabasco. It's a lot nicer than you'd think.

quote:
"Catsup" is just an etymologically questionable spelling of "ketchup". Same stuff.
Indeed, concise and to the point. Why can't I get simple, straight answers out of you like that one, Timothy?

And. . . "longer more obviously potato-containing?" Not some of the fries I've seen. Christ only knows what goes into Burger King's fries, nothing natural that's for certain. McDonald's are far better; anyone care to agree or dispute that?

No, unfortunatly. In the catagory of what British people call "fries", rather than "chips", McDonald's do serve the best (if they've been cooked enough).

heh, if you guys had penn stations in england you would know them to have the best fries and probably the best cheesesteaks (outside of philadelphia of course). actually, i rather like burger king fries. the mcdonalds fries in this country have recently been changed to a thinner fry (so i guess we were the test market, or inversely this has already happened to you and mcdonalds was seeing whether expendable europeans would die from it before they brought it to this market. i just don't know), and i prefer the old, thicker style. burger kings fries, which are probably more natural than mcdonalds, (sheesh, you guys don't know what goes on under the facade of "the home of the happy clown") are thicker and tend not to be as soggy.

We do, we just don't care. And there's a mistaken belief amoungst a lot of people that natural = better.

McDonalds chips when I went to the US last Autumn were the same thickness as they are over here.

We have only just recently gotten the Mega size meal, as we continue with out attempts to become as fat as you lot.

Liam, yes we still right cheque, but we are getting these cheap abm machines from the states that have savings and checking on them, it looks very weird. And there is only one real brand of Ketchup and that is Heinz. Catsup is made from real cats and should not be eaten.

my response that burger king's fries were probably more natural than mcdonald's was because somebody had said that burger kings fries were bad and probably had no actual potato in them.

During the deep, dark, days of the eighties, McDonalds fries were approximately 70% Beef tallow and 30% Apple. Apparently apples are cheaper than potatoes. Who knew? I believe the potato did return at some point, though.

-------------

Subtle difference #734 between Canada and United States I discovered on a trip to the American NE two years ago in which I ate at McDonalds far too often (and it wasn't by choice, dammit)

Canadian "Regular" fry box (container? sleeve?) == American "Small" fry box

Canadian "Large" fry box == American "Regular" fry box

Canadian "Super-size" fry box == American "Large" fry box

Something containing so many pounds of grease that mild-mannered Canadians would never possibly consider touching it == American "Super-size" fry box

Thus, we have yet another reason Harry Knowles was spawned in Austin, Tex. and not Aurora, Ont.

What, and take all the fun out of it? Pfah!

"burger kings fries (which are probably more natural than macdonalds, sheesh you guys don't know what goes on under the facade of the home of the happy clown) are thicker and tend not to be as soggy."

I hereby forbid you from ever complaining about anyone's spelling or grammar or what-have-you ever again. Ever. Not even a little.

Misplaced parenthesis? I see... Well, that fixes the run-on. But that doesn't address he fact that you spelled "McDonald's" as "macdonalds". Twice.

are you serious? i've never spelled mcdonalds as macdonalds ever before! ACK! i guess that's what happens when you mix alcohol and sleep deprivation.

p.s. the lack of capitals isn't an error. i don't use upper case letters very often while on the internet.
