Yeah, yeah -- I rarely reply or even read the OT-Chatter posts but I
couldn't resist this one ...

Yes??  <g>  Pizza & chips has to be my favorite.  As though there's not
enough starch from the pizza crust ...

Or, no wait!  The absolute funniest thing is the pastie & chips combo.
The pastie is of course a huge pastry to begin with (i.e., starch) and
it's typically filled with ground meat & *potatoes.*  But, that's not
*enough* potatoes, mind you.  Nah.  You need a big helping of chips on
the side.  <chortles>

I'm just having fun with you Brits.  I love potatoes.  I've been
abnormally fond of potatoes the last 9 mths in fact.  :--)
