Do you still eat Freedom Fries?

[monkeyboy]

or do you still hold a grudge?

Ooo la la, mon peu monkeyboy, vous êtes tres sexy.

This is a test. If you really are Pop Daddy, you won't care what I said, you'll just think it's sexy because it's in French.

It's probably the French government that are "grand Prix", but the people are ok. Just like here.

I never ate freedom fries, they were always french to me.

I thought the whole "freedom fries" thing was one of the stupidest ideas ever.

We don't eat "Freedom Fries" at our house, we eat "Frites" since french fries aren't even french anyway. They were invented in Belgium!!!

By the way, if you love fries, you MUST eat them in Belgium... They are seriously awesome!!! (It is scary that I know this much about fries... I need to get out more.)

I don't care what they call them, they're good and every once in a while I indulge, lol!

 

[cynsaun]

I eat onion rings.

Nope. They were always French Fries to me. Thought the whole thing was stupid and the people who did it were acting like 5 year olds. Freedom Toast was even more inane since it was invented in New York.

I was just reading something about fries the other day and it made me think of this -- it was saying why they are called French Fries! It has to do with the way they are cut, just like French cut green beans.

I eat French Fries much to the detriment of my waistline. Whether they're really French or not, that's what I call them. I also love French's mustard and occasionally I enjoy French dressing. And French pastries RULE!!!

I thought the whole "freedom fries" thing was one of the stupidest ideas ever.

I would only eat at places where a French fry was a French fry (well, actually they are Belgian...). It was a childish, ridiculous form of protest. The Congressmen who came up with that idea humiliated our country.

It was particularly embarrassing because France was one of the first countries to enter Afghanistan after 9/11 and continues to serve there to this day. They lost a soldier in Afghanistan yesterday. And by all accounts, the French are among our most valuable and reliable allies when it comes to intelligence. The Washington Post recently had a lengthy story (too much disclosure if you ask me) about a top secret intelligence agency in Paris that is jointly run by the French, US, and UK and serves as a clearinghouse for terrorism-related intelligence. France colonized much of the Middle East and North Africa and their networks there are very valuable.

I have my own beef with France on security matters aside from Iraq, but in the grand scheme of things they really are a valuable ally and one of the few countries to have a truly deep, multi-faceted relationship with the US.

The freedom fries thing was idiotic.

I think the French were pretty smart to not get into this mess.

 

[AnaheimGirl]

I never did, either. My fries have always been French if anything, but usually they are just "fries". Gotta save my mouth the trouble of uttering that extra syllable.
