Yes, but we're talking about fries. In the old days, they were made of potato. Isn't that a creepy idea? Just potato? Brrrr, nature! |

In the US, it's pollock - it's a sustainable fish. Previously, they used cod and haddock. The Fillet-O-Fish sandwich is a very popular item. It comes with tartar sauce and half a slice of American cheese. Cheese in a fish sandwich is a pretty gutsy move. Some people are addicted to that sandwich. |

That fillet of fish is wonderful stuff: Pollock, Water, Vegetable Oil (Canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil), Wheat Flour, Modified Food Starch, Contains 2% or Less: Yellow Corn Flour, Bleached Wheat Flour, Salt, Whey (Milk), Dextrose, Dried Yeast, Sugar, Cellulose Gum, Paprika and Turmeric Extract (Color), Natural Flavors. > Cheese in a fish sandwich is a pretty gutsy move.

Just potato? Brrrr, nature! It's a necessity if people want to pay 99 cents for an order of fries. And they do. This very small fast-food chain has hand-cut fries: <http://elevationburger.com/> It's $2.75 for an order of fries. I was there once for lunch on a weekday. Deserted. Cindy Hamilton |

But some jealous Auztards feel an obsession to yap about it, meanwhile: http://www.gregnormansaustraliangrille.com/lunch.php Fried white fish sandwich with rémoulade sauce on a hoagie roll, served with fries and a side of coleslaw 12 With additional toppings: Sautéed onions and cheese 13 A very ppendy place! Oh and Auztarded delicacies: http://www.endlesssimmer.com/2011/01...ve-invented/2/ 2. Vegemite vegemite Theres no way we could celebrate Australian cuisine without mentioning this much maligned foodstuff. The notorious spread popular enough down under that its distributed by Kraft is actually made from yeast extract, a byproduct of beer brewing. The deep, bitter character of this widely-eaten toast topping is often described diplomatically as an acquired taste. 1. Pie Floater pie floater Of all the Australian foods I came across in researching this piece, the Pie Floater is by far the most mind-blowing. Lets go back to those meat pies mentioned above, only this time were going to take one of them, flip it over, and submerge it in a thick green bowl of pea soup. Wow. By now you should know that this glorious mush of a meal could only be improved by a coating of ketchup on top. 6. Potato Cakes potato cakes Now this is where the Australians really start to challenge us for the deep-fried crown. Smartly realizing that a plate of fried fish and chips just isnt substantial enough for many people, many chippers here serve their fish with potato cakes basically giant circles of mashed potatoes deep-fried within an inch of their life. |

But I know how you think. You're one of these fanatical patriots who think that criticising good ol' McDonalds equates to criticising the US and that's FORBIDDEN!
