French fries are great! Whether they come with gravy, ketchup or as poutine, most people love fries… just not what a load of fries can do to your waistline, but that’s another story.
In Germany, there’s a fry shortage! A heat wave has baked the country and this year the hot, dry weather has led to a meager harvest of the extra-large potatoes used to produce the ideal-length French fry.
The German Farmers’ Association is warning consumers to brace themselves for shorter fries! The smaller potatoes mean the fries will probably be 1.8 inches long at best, down from the usual 2.2 inches.
But hey, even a small fry can be a great one!
