BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SPUDS?!
Gabby
Millie:- FRENCH FRIED SPUDS can make you spud-shaped, an distinct impediment when dancing ceili or fox trot.The Chinese shred spuds and quickly stir fry in a delicious sauce. Now that’s the way to cultivate a dancing figure. And if you aspire to the breeding abilities of a rabbit, try lots of salad (with reduced mayonnaise) including young dandelion leaves.

I don’t find it surprising that 84% of people in Ireland eat vegetables every day, no.
