The Instapundit has now waded into the murky red swamp that is the great W vs. Heinz ketchup debate. This could have been interesting and it could have been enlightening, but he chose to make a mockery of the proceedings by adding the sauce to, ugh, McDonald’s French Fries. As anyone with a taste bud will know, these fries have been shadows of their former selves ever since it was decided no longer to use beef tallow, Heaven’s ingredient, in their preparation. McDonald’s fries are an insult to the potato, a sad, drab, inedible parody of a food, as dull as a Kerry speech and as tasteless as deep-fried paper, worthy companions, perhaps, for a Filet-o-’fish’, but not a suitable medium for such an important survey. Next time, professor, try something else.
