I actually been to America, Detroit I think? Wherever the race track is in Michigan. I expected a bunch of race addict rednecks and overall rude people, but most were pretty nice. We found it odd how the concession stand at the race track, or even McDonald's, did not have vinegar as a condiment though. It really is true they don't put vinegar on their french fries.

If Detroit is your only exposure to the US, I sincerely apologize. Even most Americans avoid Detroit. It's about as close as you can get to Gotham City.

At least Gotham City has Batman.

Detroit has... Eminem?

You probably went to MIS, which is not even considered metro Detroit.

And vingar on fries is effing weird. I tried it once, because I was curious, my mom always did it, being Canadian and all. An interesting flavor, but still weird.

They are real and they keep muttering some shit about based god.

Not all Americans are stupid but you have to wonder if some of them wouldn't someday make it to the international space station, flip a coin to decide who has to take the trash out, look down and wonder where the coin went.

If a certain American ever made it to the international space station, I wonder if she'd try to hunt deer through the porthole:

What part of the country are you from? Malt vinegar on fries is common from Chicago to NYC. You see it all the time in sub shops and street vendors that sell fries.

Midwest.

I must not have noticed the vinegar bottles at any of those places... Or ever seen some one do it.

What else is vinegar for? I personally rarly put some on my fries since I prefer ketchup, and putting both just makes it too soggy. Though on really crispy fries vinegar is awesome. I miss Harvey's, vinegar on their fries was awesome.

Vinegar is for dumplings. Duh.

I'd hit it. Wouldn't vote for it, but I'd hit it.

Pretty sure that's a fake.

That's not even a firearm she's holding, BTW; it's a Crosman air rifle.



EDIT: Fake or not, I'd still hit it.

Yeah, id hit it too.


With the back of a shovel.

Haven't heard of vinegar on fries. Sounds nasty.

It isn't at all. It's English, and it's great. We're talking malt vinegar here, not the simple white vinegar you're thinking of. Go to any place serving traditional fish and chips and try it some time. You don't know what you're missing. Seriously!

Best smell in the world is when you're hungry, it's cold and someone walks past with a bag of hot chips soused in vinegar.

It's probably the only time mugging is justified. :p

Best smell in the world is when you're hungry, it's cold, and you walk past a restaurant filled with Peking Duck.

A bag of hot chips is a mediocre smell at best, even given how much I love hot chips. Adding vinegar... :thumbsdown:

I have never seen an American. I have only ever seen them on television. Perhaps Americans are a hoax. :whiste:


It's not like we've never seen forum trolling ... New Zealand style before. OP, you yourself are a hoax, a pale comparison to the great trolls from NZ like GA.

Go away troll ...

They exist.

It's funny too, because the people I consider real "Americans" absolutely disgust me.
