i'm just thinking back, and i don't think i've ever bought potatoes at a grocery store.

i don't think i've bought a package of pre-cut french fries in upwards of fifteen years.

on the rare occasions that i'll buy a burger at a restaurant, i essentially never get fries.

i'd guess i might buy at most a poutine once a year, and over the last ten or so it's certainly been less frequent than that.

i'm more likely to get hash browns with a breakfast special. and, i guess i might get a small fry from time to time if i'm waiting somewhere.

but, in sum, i've probably had less than a bag of potatoes, in total, over the last 20 years.
