	Somebody give me their recipe for potato cakes. Are you all thinking of those preformed McDonalds hash browns? Those are just a fast food invention. They aren't real hash browns, for pity's sake. Not that I don't like them. Maybe I'll get me a pack of the frozen no-name ones next time I shop, it's been years. My sister's partner is Portuguese. We had a huge argument ... er, discussion ... a few years ago when someone said something like "pass the taters". He absolutely, absolutely insisted that "taters" are only the frozen deep-fried lumps (not that I don't like them) that he cooks for breakfast when we're there, brand name Tater Tots. Like, "tater" is trademarked or something. He would not give up. Never mind that he was born in Angola and his first language isn't English ...
