Some elegant descriptions of your favorite fries

The response so far to our contest has been exceptional. Here are some of our favorites:

• "Woody and round, with a small taste of dry corn starch." James Mansfield of Yakima, WA, speaking of the fries at his local Ron's Tacos and Burgers.
• "Complex and intense, with supple spiciness." Henrietta Smith of Lubbock, TX, speaking of the fries at Jumbo Joe's Burgers, aged four hours then reheated in a frying pan and served with chili.
• "Light and honeyed with a hint of citrus." Craig Olson of Omaha, NB, speaking of the most excellent of his favorite homemade fries. He cleans the potatoes and then ages them for exactly 3 1/2 hours before slicing them and frying them immediately using a secret blend of oils and spices. The fries sit for exactly 36 seconds before being served.
