For some reason today, I decided to forgo the fries when cooking a burger for lunch and could not think of a passable option. I thought of what I could have and none really seemed to fit the bill, so ended up with a tomato salad on the side. In an ideal world the option, like fries, would be a finger food but that does tend to limit the choices.

I should mention in passing that one major upside of not having fries is that there is no lingering cooked oil odour (yes, that's the way we spell it in Europe!) in the air and in addition the prep and cooking time of a burger-only meal is a fraction of the time needed to create a burger and fries.

So, any ideas?
