Alex will eat that

I have two big things to share with you in this post.

Big Thing #1:

I love french fries!  What kind of genius thought up the amazing idea of slicing a potato, frying it, and eating it with your hands while dipping it in different types of sauces?  I’ll tell you what kind! A Belgian one! (More on french fries, chips, and Belgians.)

Big Thing #2:

I love cheese!  What kind of genius thought up the amazing idea of domesticating cattle, milking the cows, curdling the milk, processing the curds, forgetting about the cheese for a while to let it age, and eating it either by itself, with wine, on crackers, burgers, or bread? (There are, of course, a million times two ways to eat cheese so I’m going to stop the list here at bread.)  I wish I could tell what kind but apparently people have been eating cheese since before history existed. (More on cheese, curds, and recorded history.)

So with Big Things 1 and 2 stated, one can safely assume the following:

Cheese Fries? Yeah, Alex will eat that.

Need proof?  Here’s some recorded history:

These cheese fries weren’t really that great and severly upset my stomach.  If you want good french fries (I believe the Belgians call them frites), go to Pommes Frites on 2nd Avenue in Manhattan.  Dipping sauces galore!
