Tasting! McCain Seasoned Beer Battered Fries
November 28th, 2010 • 15 Comments | Leave a Comment »
Wait. What? …how’d they do that? I got me some man food out the freezer case. Then I ate it like a hungry lion chewing on fresh zebra meat. McCain Seasoned Beer Battered Fries are NOT the same as dipping regular fries in a mug of beer, so if that’s what you’ve been doing all this time, you can go ahead and stop now.
These fries are special. They have ahhh-mazing flavor and crispness. And they’re impressively thick and large, with deep ridges where the tasty, seasoned molecules dwell. I even dare me to say that these fries are better than the best restaurant steak fry I ever did eat.
Yep, I just said it.
But please be careful with these. Your flavor sensors might short circuit and attempt to override your “only-in-moderation” eating mechanism. You will be compelled to NOT stop chewing. But since I’m powerful ‘n stuff , I only ate 6 fries, which is less than 1/2 of a serving size.
I’m gonna buy these again and again. And then again some more. This is one crappy food treat you might hold near and dear to your stomachs. In moderation, of course.

There’s no way that would feed five people around here (even though there are only three of us). My husband would inhale the entire bag then look up at my dropped jaw and say “Oh, was I supposed to share this with you guys?”
I think I’d better stay away from these, anyway.

Your husband would inhale these? Food inhalation is such a lovely thing. Just sayin’.

I will pretend I didn’t see this post.
Does the zebra denote approval of a product?
Last week we went to the zoo and I snuck up on the male lion who lunged at me (thankfully, with 6″ thick plexiglass between us, and some telephone-pole-like fence material to the sides of the glass. This was after he looked at me like, “Yay – dinner! for a while. I won’t soon forget! (see, I’m distracting myself from thoughts of fries by dwelling on your rip-into-food analogy.

Oh gawd, you’re speaking to my heart!
I was just looking at home made french fry options and then I realize that I need something called a Mandoline – arf? This will have to do until I order one of those.

What the hell is Mandoline? It sounds like a small island in the Pacific.
