I too, knew what he meant.
And, I'm not from Michigan.
I would agree. Though my friend Gary (no, not that Gary, my other friend Gary) likes them alot. He grew up eating them because his mum was English.
Mum and I went to Bonefish Grill for dinner. Mum had crabcakes and a salad. While I had their Anglers Catch, a special combo of batter dipped fish, fried shrimp and fries that's only available on Ash Wddnesday and the Fridays during Lent. Sadly, no malt vinegar but rather nice tartar and cocktail sauces.
