I was almost willing to write something that I thought would be meaningful, then I just went to my local supermarket.

Yup, two potatoes in a plastic punnet is now a thing.

"We're not only gonna sell ONE plastic-wrapped potato, BUT TWO! DELICIOUS ONES AT THAT!"
*general clapping and hysteria, while the 27000€ in consultance fee are being thrown around like it's a strip joint*

'To french' is some old verb and means 'deep frying', it has not to do with the nationality. Very Happy
And hey, Morph, I'm born and bred Sinjoor, the finest brand of Belgian there is Very Happy
