They must be American foods. Sloppy Joes are ground beef cooked crumbled
and then mixed into a tomato sauce. It is more sweet than a spaghetti sauce
but not the same as a BBQ sauce either. Usually served on a hamburger bun.
But the meat can just be eaten with a fork. I think it got the name
"sloppy" because if you try to pick up the bun, the meat just goes all over.
I eat it with a fork.

Wavy Lays are a type of ripple potato chip. Different than Ruffles but I
can't remember how. One of them has larger ripples and one has smaller
ones.
