[*][size=135][font=Sans][b]Pants Food review[/b][/font][/size]
[size=130][font=Sans]With nothing else interesting happening over the summer, I have decided to officially review a classic side dish, french fries. French fries are one of the most common sides in American cuisine, and they go well with most foods, so they are an optimal side dish. It also can be dipped in various sauces. The well-roundedness of french fries makes it a very reliable food altogether, but for its taste, it is overall good, but nothing special, overall I will give french fries a 7/10.[/font][/size]
