      I'd maybe get the degree first.

      Please love yourself.

        By the way, Moroccan couscous is better. That’s not just my opinion, it’s an objective fact.

        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

          WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The cafeteria menus in the three House office buildings changed the name of "french fries" to "freedom fries," in a culinary rebuke of France stemming from anger over the country's refusal to support the U.S. position on Iraq.

          https://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/03/11/sprj.irq.fries/

          It was hilarious that those dipshits had no idea which country was so instrumental in helping their country attain the freedom they were so obsessed about.

          All 3 House cafeterias.

          There was probably someone in those cafeterias who was familiar with US History.

          I knew that, I would not have mentioned it without first doing my homework to jog my memory of the details. I just wanted to elicit the predictable and much anticipated flag waving reaction from you.

            I'm sorry guys, but you are all wrong.
            couscous are those tiny little round beige tastless things they put in some Campbell soups.
            I suppose one could mold them like a snowball and fry them, right?
            They're just filler or a substitute for rice, or tossed into a salad as it's something to count.
            Yeah I know, Mik and some of you cooks are shaking your heads in disgust.
            Well, We all have our culinary sources, mine happen to be pragmatic I guess.

              @Rainman

              I believe you are confusing pearl barley with couscous.

              And no, beyond spaghetti sauce and tuna casserole I am not much of a cook. Hate making salads - too much like garden work.

                    On one of his many visits to try and teach George W Bush how to use the English language, Tony Blair should probably have told them that the correct term is 'chips', and if America hadn't conspired with the despicable French against their British betters all those years ago, they wouldn't be making that mistake now.

                    I was only joking

                      Up here we are at liberty to refer to them as (French) fries or just, fries, frites or chips. I of course, being big on the Empire and all that good tradition stuff, choose the latter, and refer to them as chips.
