The fast food chain that replaced McDonald's in Russia has had to temporarily stop serving fries.
The rebranded fast food chain "Vkusno i Tochka", which roughly translates as "Tasty and that's it" said a shortage of the correct variety of potatoes meant that diners would need a different side order with their burgers.
The chain said that over the past eight years it had focused on purchasing products from Russian suppliers but that in 2021 there was a poor harvest of the potato needed to make fries, and added that the problems may persist until the fall.
"Rustic potatoes," which is a thicker-cut version of traditional French fries, might also be unavailable but the fries are expected to be back on the menu at the start of the next harvest.
