He does not, however, dip them in syrup or butter or anything. And I was not the one who gave them to him - we can all thank Hubby for that...<BR/><BR/>Though they are not a staple in my house, I doubt they're really that bad. They aren't fried. They're just what they look like - sausage on a stick with a pancake wrapped around it. How is that different from a sausage and flapjack breakfast, which is a staple in many homes? The problem with them is how much we have to pay for packaging and convenience, which is my real problem with our fast-food culture as a whole.<BR/><BR/>Though I bet John the Scientist can give me some alarming information.<BR/><BR/>But, as has been stated often, they're <I>on a stick</I>!

Not so long ago, man was defined as a tool using animal - but that had to be updated when it was discovered that chimps, raccoons, and such like also used tools - until then I understand that it was quite common to accidentally hire a troop of baboons to refurbish your kitchen and do roofing - or install a hot water heater (Steve).<BR/><BR/>I understand the new definition says that deep frying is now the defining criteria.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-58579343158740111652008-01-31T15:26:00.000-06:002008-01-31T15:26:00.000-06:00Hmmm.
