Young or old animal, those racks looked divine.

Mother-in-law just fried some homemade chip (English variety, not French) and I’ve got a few beers to go with. Had a few sausage rolls on drive over and a bit of birthday cake once I arrived.

Belgian.

I'm not proud of Belgium but for some reason I can't stand it when someone says French fries. :P
 
I can't even begin to understand why we say "rack of lamb" and then not match others with it by saying "rack of pig/cow" or vice versa...
 
Doesn’t look as good as the picture but tastes pretty good.

It's often colloquial. "Rack of pork" isn't terribly uncommon here, but it isn't always apt when it's used.

The other issue is one of scale. Lambs that go to slaughter are often relatively small (sorry for the imagery) compared to their porcine and bovine stablemates, and the ribs that are typically left whole on the rack of lamb get chopped off of a "standing rib roast"--the common term for what is basically the same cut of meat.

Well, I think it might be like pig is the default right. So you order a full rack or a half rack of ribs and everyone knows that means a rack of pork ribs. If you go to the butcher though, you might have to ask for a "a rack of beef ribs" as pork, again, is the general default. I imagine though, you might be able to order those up as a rack of beef though.

Alright alright... That actually makes some sense.

BUT you're getting me to think now. It's 2020 and in order to not offend any animals who may or may not be slaughtered for they're ribs or rack of insert animal... I will refer to all of the ribs I eat as rack of insert animal. Just seems like the polite thing to do. :P

The best French fries I ever had was in Brussels from a tiny little shop with a walk up window. They came in a paper cone and were served with what was called tartar sauce.

I’m sorry. I’m fully aware that they’re Belgian but I went down the easy path to avoid confusion.

Technically, any veg fried in the same manor can be deemed “French” fried but when talking about chips from spuds I’m referring to the British type that usually accompanies fish. Not crisps.

The irony is that I don't even like fries. I think I never eat fries more than 10 times a year and that is even because my father likes fries. I get bored of the taste of fries very quickly.
 
I nom on fries when my mother-in-law makes some seriously good chips. Other than the occasional McDonald’s I don’t dive into fries much.
 
Gotta have fries with a burger. We have a joint called HopCat down the road from us that have amazing seasoned fries. A little ranch and hot sauce for dipping in. Hmmmm. I like making my own fries as well. Julienned fries, sliced, cubed potatoes. I just like potatoes honestly.

It was kind of like the last picture. It was on the first floor of a building but there was no dining area at the fry stand. It was in a small town square that had tables, other food places and bars. It was 1988, I was visiting SHAPE.
 
Minneapolis airport yesterday before boarding the plane, we had a bacon, sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. I added a side of potatoes that were fantastically garlicky.

Seattle airport yesterday before boarding the plane, McDonald's was right across from the gate so I had a BigMac for the first time in close to a decade. Was... fine.

Supper was sweet and sour chicken at a Thai place we've come to frequent when we're on Hawaii. Just enough spice to not be only sweet. And tons of veggies to offset the airport food.

Edit: We haven't officially gone grocery shopping yet so breakfast is a bowl of Reese's Puffs. :P

I have leftover veggie pizza in the oven. It's handmade deep dish.

I'm going to pop some popcorn and get started on some spinach and kale quiche.

If this yellow mustard, green onion and A1 steak rub on a lamb burger wasn’t so good, I wouldn’t have posted this.

Perf.

Had it resting on the top bun, soaked up the juicy juices of flavor.

Did you grind that yourself? I would be worried eating ground meat that rare unless I knew it came from a really safe source. It does look delicious though.
