GOODBYE MR CHIPS

I had chips today and something very peculiar happened.

I've always liked a chip. Handy to pick up, deliciously salty and often crispy on the outside and soft, hot and crumbly when you bite in.

I ought to point out to anyone in North America that I of course am talking about fries rather than potato chips - which aren't usually soft, hot or crumbly on the inside, and frankly, which I've never been all that bothered about.

Anyway, the something-very-peculiar... I actually felt a bit sick. Why is that? The smell of them, the taste of them, the dry saltiness... I couldn't finish them and the thought of it was giving me a headache. Have I gone off chips?

It's not a bad thing I suppose - they're not very good for you. It's just strange that it's happened so suddenly... and without any reason. Could it happen with anything else?
