Yes, they're all three of those things. Yet they taste exactly as
a potato chip should taste.

Where do you draw the line? Is chocolate junky, snacky and prefab?
Should we grow our own cacao and process it into chocolate?

I once had rabbit in chocolate sauce at a friend's place. I don't
recommend it.

But you're right, there are all kinds of prefab foods that people use
in dishes. I just didn't realise that using chips as a dinner
component was so common in the US. I mean, I didn't realise it before
we talked about it here recently.

I often make battered (or at least floured) yellow squash. It's

I'd be very surprised, too. Even though we call deep-fried
sticks of potato "French fries", fish and chips is/are
deep-fried, battered fish with deep-fried sticks of potato.

The hallmark of Hawaiian style cooking has always been simplicity. The lack of availability of certain food items required that recipes be simplified. These guys were doing mashups of foods because they were exposed to the foods of different cultures. Most people grew up eating canned meats because of the lack of fresh meat and refrigeration. I suppose they could eat all the fish and pigs they could catch.

I'm saying that at first glance the post looked like breakfast was either
milk (the drinking kind) or dark chocolate sprinkles...and coffee. I'm
pretty sure that Wayne was doing a take off on that with a wink, I could be
wrong.

Ah yes, Hawaii in the 1950's. That's when my parents and my two
brothers lived on the island of Oahu. They had Japanese neighbors and
Mom told me the Japanese woman would walk around on the back patio
stepping on really big snails, barefoot. That kind of creeped her out.

Exactly, Cindy. Packets of potato chips = "crisps". But fish & chips
is a hot meal served with hot fried potatoes.

That's the craziest-ass thing I ever heard. Hopefully, you don't believe that actually happened.

May or may not be true, but several medical web sites claim that potato
chips are one cause of cnstipation!

I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook.

Potato chips and french fries are loaded with acrylamide.

And rice is full of cyanide, so?

I'd believe it. They're low in fiber and high in salt.

The fat content overrides that.

Oil goes through the system with ease.

Well if you eat 200 pounds of chips a day you can get sick.

Rice has arsenic, lima beans have cyanide.

Funny how people of different cultures react to snails. A number of
years ago my wife and I were touring around Europe in a rental car that
we picked up in Germany (because it was cheaper there) so it had German
licence plates. We went to a quaint little eatery, Auberge au Feu de
Bois in Dieppe sous Douement just north of the Verdun battlefield. The
owner (owner's husband?) came along while we were eating and was
chattering away about the rain and the snails and how the French like to
eat them but you Germans don't like them. He has assumed we were German
because of the licence plates.


Great memories of that place. It was a very rustic old place with a
fireplace at one end, trestle tables. The lunch of the day a three
course menu meal that consisted of a shredded carrot and garlic salad,
pasta with tomato and turkey, flan for dessert and a 1/4 litre of wine.

That little crack you feel when you bite through a snail, that's their
dick.

You seem rather focused on snail dick, why?

Many "medical web sites" are loaded with a lot of crappy information.
