112. The Spud And The Waffle

19th April, Ottomanelli's, East Harlem, New York

I have a weakness for funny fries.

Crinkle cut fries are obviously yummier than straight cut fries and a portion of curly fries can make my day. And don't even get me started on animal or letter shape fries. Amazing.

Yep, I'm basically a child when it comes to food. I once had a friend's child over and was more excited about her Thomas The Tank Engine pasta than she was. She's five and I have  no such excuse.

But seriously, how awesome doesn't waffle fries look? And how do they make them? Who makes them? Other than the creation of Pringles, this is my biggest potato product making mystery to date. Fascinating stuff!

Enjoying happy hour on the terrace of a Harlem bar in a very sunny New York, whilst perving at the cute fire fighters driving past us, I saw them. My time had finally come. No need to go to Belgium.

And yep, spuds are tastier when shaped as waffles. Almost, but just almost as tasty as crocodile shaped ones.

Are they fries, are they waffles...?
