" TThomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in the French manner" served at a White House dinner in 1802. The expression "French Fried Potatoes" first occurs in print in English in the 1856 work Cookery for Maids of All Work by E. Warren: French Fried Potatoes.—Cut new potatoes in thin slices, put them in boiling fat, and a little salt; fry both sides of a light golden brown colour; drain." In the early 20th century, the term "French fried" was being used in the sense of "deep-fried," for other foods such as onion rings or chicken. It is unlikely that 'French fried' refers to 'frenching' in the sense of "julienning", which is not attested until after 'French fried potatoes'; previously, Frenching referred only to trimming the meat off the shanks of chohomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in " So an idiot president coined the phrase... Next week all humadors will named Monica's..  | |||

" TThomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in the French manner" served at a White House dinner in 1802. The expression "French Fried Potatoes" first occurs in print in English in the 1856 work Cookery for Maids of All Work by E. Warren: French Fried Potatoes.—Cut new potatoes in thin slices, put them in boiling fat, and a little salt; fry both sides of a light golden brown colour; drain." In the early 20th century, the term "French fried" was being used in the sense of "deep-fried," for other foods such as onion rings or chicken. It is unlikely that 'French fried' refers to 'frenching' in the sense of "julienning", which is not attested until after 'French fried potatoes'; previously, Frenching referred only to trimming the meat off the shanks of chohomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in So an idiot president coined the phrase...

It's a sponge finger injection filled with a kind of whipped buttercream. Both the sponge finger and the filling have got lots of ingredients you wouldn't normally find in sponge cake or buttercream and as a result it has been suggested that Twinkies would survive a nuclear holocaust as edible as they are now. | |||
