Late Night Munchies

‘Disco Fries’ have now become the artery clogging snack of late night revellers world wide.
An attempt to temper the effects of a long ambitious night of consumption, but only when ingested on the way to bed.
Originally known as ‘Poutine’ a French-Canadian dish consisting of French fries topped with fresh cheese curds and covered with hot gravy (usually brown), Disco Fries are basically steak-cut French fries placed on an oval stoneware plate and topped with a couple of squares of processed cheese which are then thrown under a grill and topped with a thick gravy. (Ugh!) Now you may be thinking you can do the same thing with plain old ‘Chips with Curry Sauce’ but with the Marbella summer party season already upon us, ‘Disco Fries’ sound so much more ‘Puerto Banus’ don’t ya think? And of course if you are dining with an elegant companion you can always ask for your gravy to be served on the side in a cup.
