12. Some make it with beef gravy and cheese curds ..
Some use a spaghetti sauce w/ cheese curds. I've had it both ways, the beef is much better!!

I'm addicted to it. When I can get it :)

5. Ewww.
Listen to the recipe:

Ghetto Fries, it turns out, areFrench-fried potatoes topped with Merkt's cheddar cheese, giardiniera, gravy, barbecue sauce and raw onions.

This is an interesting combo, but there's nothing especially "ghetto" about it. The marketing is offensive.

And what really poor person is buying giardiniera?

I am so sick of hearing about the barbarians... these are good people. Far better people than those who have left them to die. And they need help.

Should I remove that image? Is it too graphic?

And look... peanut butter is a weapon per this caption:

And I think that's the tuna of mass descruction of which we've been warned.



A cache of weapons seized from Hurricane refugees is pictured at the Convention Center in New Orleans, La. Thousands of area residents still remain in the besieged city but military assistance has improved and people are being evacuated.

41. Every time I see pictures like these, I just want to scream.
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 10:47 PM by I Have A Dream
There are so many heroes in this story that have been overshadowed by the press' fixation on a few thugs. Were there bad people who took advantage of a bad situation? Yes. However, for each of those people, there were many, many more heroes who selflessly took it upon themselves to help those people even more unfortunate than themselves. These pictures show so much compassion and caring for these elderly and sick WHITE people.

I really don't know what I'll do if someone criticizes these people to my face.

Thank you for posting them!
