Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
It sounds horrible - fake fries - because "fake" anything just has a negative connotation. However, in the case of Arizona public schools, which are now faced with strict state laws banning junk foods, educators are getting creative with school lunches. Acknowledging that potatoes are a staple in may children's diets, they have come up with lowfat, non-fried versions of French fries which are baked. The schools are calling them "oven wedges," "oven fries," and "potato sticks."
They aren't really fooling the kids, but the kids don't seem to mind.

Arizona isn't actually the first state to do this--my old school in Texas had the same restrictions, so we got french fries that THEY called "french fries" but I called "bakes". These were one of two things: crinkle-cut "fries", or "Potato logs", aka potato wedges. They didn't taste TOO bad most of the time, but they never tasted very good.

The trick to get them crunchy, other than using a convection oven, is just to make sure the oven isn't too hot (then you get the outside done, but not the inside).
