Chatty, I can't have french fries without vinegar. When I came to the States, I had to ask for it when I ate out and many times restaurants don't carry it. Got some funny looks from waitresses. Vinegar cuts the grease but I use it for taste. French Fries, dressing(stuffing) and brown gravy was another thing I was used to. Don't see it much here. Only place I found a hot roast beef sandwich, fries and brown gravy was Nashville, Tennessee.

Plenty here in Vegas, hot turkey or beef or even pork, with mashed potatoes, and gravy. Some put the meat on bread too and then add potatoes and gravy. I love the vinegar fries.

Yes that's what I was talking about roast beef between two slices of bread smothered in brown gravy with fries and if I had known when I was there...well...I would have gained a pound or three.

Well Chick if you ever come back here I promise to fill you up with 'hot beef' or 'hot turley' of 'hot pork' sandwiches which is what they are called here. They are so good and everybody sells them...
