While I can keep up you eating just about anything (do you have a possum post?), I'm not as curious about food nowadays as you. Your blog is fun to read - if you liked the same things, the blog would have little appeal.<br /><br />Hope I didn't rile you.<br /><br />TomTomWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398573124082104796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-71084362615164558772009-11-13T17:20:39.639-05:002009-11-13T17:20:39.639-05:00Some replies:

(I'm reserving judgement on Five Guys, though.)<br /><br />Also, Sausage McMuffins with Egg are my idea of the perfect breakfast sandwich.<br /><br /><b>Andrew,</b> I used to love Wendy, but... You <i>do</i> know she's sleeping with that Arby guy now, right? Oh wait! I forgot you like Arby's. Never mind. =)<br /><br />Sorry, <b>Anon,</b> the tables at the KFC had placards telling about the biodiesel program and how it had originally been organized by Westerly school students, but it didn't mention any companies. But because it's in Westerly, the home of Mason Biodiesel LLC, I would guess they're the ones doing the collection.<br /><br /><b>TomW,</b> it would be a boring world if everyone liked the same stuff.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866627809585257034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-3994945843606230302009-11-13T17:06:17.228-05:002009-11-13T17:06:17.228-05:00I'm not much of a french fry eater, but I do r...I'm not much of a french fry eater, but I do remember, from long ago, everyone considering McDonald's fries the best. Then some nutritional activists let the masses in on the cook's secret - the fries were cooked in beef fat. I had a vegetarian friend almost take the rest of the day off when he found out.<br /><br />MacDonalds' response was "that's right; focus groups like the flavor". But, I'm told, they bowed to better nutrition, and the fries are now cooked in vegetable oil.<br /><br />KFC potatos ARE tasty. Not that you asked for a vote, Dave, but I prefer french-fry size pieces of potatos instead of wedges when granted a preference.<br /><br />TomTomWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398573124082104796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-59344954676171340512009-11-13T15:42:23.959-05:002009-11-13T15:42:23.959-05:00Dave, is that Newport Biodiesel that collects the ...Dave, is that Newport Biodiesel that collects the grease?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-54548909266669414412009-11-13T10:12:48.814-05:002009-11-13T10:12:48.814-05:00I'll always be a Wendy's man, myself....I'll always be a Wendy's man, myself....Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517857978576422454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-42192825686853208952009-11-13T06:38:02.028-05:002009-11-13T06:38:02.028-05:00I'll say a few things:

McDonald's fries are amazing fresh from the fryer but you are correct that shortly after their quality quickly suffers.<br /><br />3.)
