I saw something about it on a documentary once .... it quite put me off the place .. a funny little man buzzing around on his bike, consistently failing in his efforts to pronounce the word onion ...

I'm surprised anyone goes there at all ...

So you missed the documentary on mash potato?
yummy mash potato... one of the finer things in life.

I usually add butter, milk, mayo, salt, pepper and coriander. How do you make mash potato?

I always suspected that Turkish mashed spuds came straight from a tin of that powdered potato c.rap.
As for how the baked potato men abuse their baked spuds - well, that's a crime. And you should always eat the skins. Of the baked potato that is, not the baked potato men.

Henry is the middle-man for the distribution of french snobbery. it was a 2 year program where one learns to replace knowledge with easy access internet information. inşallah his cut and paste function won't ever fail him
