Whether you prefer them crinkle cut, straight or curly, dipped in ketchup, seasoned with vinegar and salt or smothered in cheese, Virginians love their French fries.

So much so that a recent survey revealed that Virginia ranked No. 1 in the nation in French fry consumption, beating out top spud producer Idaho. The results showed that Virginians eat about 21 pounds of fries each year.

The survey was commissioned by McCain Foods, the world’s largest manufacturer of frozen potato products, and based on a poll of 5,000 adults in the United States.
