Lady E Eats

Sometimes dinner does not need to make sense to anyone except the person eating it. Sometimes you want spaghetti. Sometimes you want potatoes. And sometimes McDonald’s chops crinkle-cut potatoes into adorable little pieces, puts them inside what looks suspiciously like a tiny pillow box, calls them Poptato , and suddenly regular fries have competition.

I mean, look at the premise: flaky chocolate pastry with warm chocolate filling inside. On paper, this sounded extremely promising. Unfortunately, the actual experience was a little more complicated.
