Alas, I fear your post is 100% correct. Although my diet would probably be considered "adventurous", I'll try and eat most anything, compared to the average meat and potatoes southern male, I still love fried, especially potatoes, above all other foods. It could be that my Mom is the blame for my poor diet. She had always loved cheeseburgers and French fries and that was the main item on her menu during her pregnancy with me. And to this day, that is my favorite meal.

Mom also told me about a time, during her pregnancy with me, when she got into a large jar of pickled pigs feet and ate until she was "blowing hash" everywhere. She never touched them again after that experience. I guess, because of that, I have never been able to get even the smallest bite of pickled piggy paw in my mouth. LOL

This just came to mind. Napoleon's favorite "battlefield meal" was fried potatoes, not French fried, and onions.
