Becky's potato rant.

to spare my friends from actual ranting, i've decided to put this potato rant online so that you can skip it if you wish. virtural ranting!

I am sick of potatoes. My family might be surprised since I had a phase when i was crazy about baked potatoes and generally eat it whenever possible. and yeah, some of you think im the "jiak-kentang" type of person, in all senses of the word. but the food joints here serve EVERYTHING with fries (burger w fries, fish & chips, pizza w fries, doner w fries, ad nauseum) and all the meal deals come with a bag of crisps. here's a list of potato consumables available here in the uk:
1) Chips (aka fries)
2) Crisps (aka chips)
3) Baked potato (they have whole stands dedicated to the stuff)
4) Mashed potato stand alone (HUGE mound with bangers and mash)
5) Mashed potato over various baked meat dishes
6) Potato salad
7) Potato chunks in other salads
8) Potato soup
9) Potato chunks in all other soups
10) Boiled new potatoes
11) Hash browns
12) Potato nuggets (they exist, i had then for dinner today)
13) Potato waffles (no kid, i've had these too)
14) Rosti (now this i don't mind, but haven't had any yet)
15) Potato flakes
16) will find out at breakfast tomorrow

sorry for the absence, i only managed to get internet today, after 6pm. sigh, admin is kinda messy here. classes have started, im meeting more people than my brain has the capacity to remember, and its very windy. but im generally very happy and quite settled.

yup, in a nutshell, thats it.

potatoes.
