I do all those things but my most recent ancestors who may have roamed central Europe lived maybe 2,000 years ago well before fries were seen as being French.

I could make a thread 'weird things fmf does' but it would never close and ponderable might have a heart attack.

Thank you for considering my frail heart.

Well, I don't do coffee or FF, but I do keep chocolate in the fridge, I like it cold. Peanut clusters to be exact. Eaten with ice tea. Great snack.

We do put coffee pads into the fridge now and then to clean out the smells 😉

Australians who buy pre-ground coffee find it keeps its flavour longer if it's sealed and refrigerated. We keep chocolate in the fridge in summer because our summer is hotter than yours. I don't put anything on chips but I've seen people eating them with tomato sauce or vinegar or lemon. Maybe you're the weird ones.

Nothing weird about keeping chocolate in the fridge.

One weird thing about some Europeans is that they think that the U.K. opting out of the E.U. means that Brits don't want to be European, don't like Europeans, don't want to trade with Europe and don't take the Eurovision Song Contest sersiously.

I've always found it a little bit weird the way people use the word "mayo" as an abbreviation for "mayonnaise". I mean, how much time does it save? Really.

"I've"

"I have"

I mean, seriously...

Personally, I would say it is quite likely I would mispel "mayonnaise", so mayo is just playing it safe.

Or mixing the mayo with some catsup. I like adding a bit of vinegar used to steep peppers.

Or using other dips or dressings. Ranch, honey mustard, sweet-n-sour, bbq, thousand island. Best is a large selection available and let the chips fall where they may.

Or just put the fries on top of the burger.
