I am starting a grass-roots campaign to change the term "fried" to "oil-baked". It because food that is fried is baked in bubbly, juicy oil at over 300 degrees Celsius! Fries can be called chips and potato chips crisps, like some of you already call them. "Fried" is such an ugly word. I'm big-boned, and I gotta have my Friday Fish, my donuts sometimes, a quick burger at home, the ocassional egg, pizze frite, but no onion rings (I can't do onions). I'm fine without trans-fats, since that's the latest compromise these days (don't you read the papers?).
I've tried diet and exercise, but you ladies know that men and commitment are like oil and water; they don't mix! (this may lead to a later post!) I'ma eat 'til I have my heart attack. I'm a professional glutton! I want surgery, but I can't give up my "oil-baked" goodies! Also, my insurance doesn't pay for it (Lucky to have any!). But enough about me!
So keep this in mind when you go to The Frying Dutchman or Krusty Burger. Oil-baked is the new sautéed!
