Well it's still Monday somewhere.
They had sweet potato fries in the commons today! I was very excited and pleased. They had a very nice texture and taste - not too soggy or oily but "crunchily" tender and bright orange. (I have to admit I have a great fondness for this tuber.) So the sweet potatoes were a delight all by themselves but all of a sudden, I was somehow reminded by a combination I'd always heard about but never tried. Ice cream and fries. I guess it's not that surprising - sweet & salty is a somewhat common duo. But just because you can combine things doesn't always mean you should, right? (For example: Ketchup & mac&cheese. Ranch dressing & pizza.) But I decided to forget all of that, sit down, and give fries and ice cream a try.
Verdict: Not half bad. It had a very summer-food feel to it - 4th of July even. Very "American" - and hopefully that doesn't come off in a terribly snobbish way.
(However, this does not mean I will be trying fried ice cream anytime soon. Oho.)
