Like why do you have to say French?
I remember people were “boycotting” the term after France refused to join the “war on terror” aka illegal invasion of Iraq. Maybe people didn’t boycott, it was just a lightbulb moment, “why do we say French?”
Fries, except when I jokingly say that I'm going to eat only French food -- French Toast, French Onion Soup & French Fries.
shareWow, good question.
If I'm ordering I'll say fries.
If I'm making them I'll say, I'm gonna make French Fries, anyone want some.
I know for a fact that they wanted to start calling them freedom fries.
We Yanks use both terms.
😎
I say both and most people do too
I never met anyone who called them 'Freedom Fries,' that was media and gov't BS
Weren't a few Republican politicians doing because the French weren't going to support us with our invasion of Iraq or something? I remember that being a thing with some of them.
shareYeah, I seem to recall the Capitol Building cafeteria changing the name on the menu...what a bunch of silly nonsense that all was!
shareAnd most now look back and see the 'war on terror' as completely phoney. They don't think it stopped anything, it just destabilised the middle east.
The war on terror was intelligence agencies preventing attacks, not armies invading countries.
Yeah, i've never heard the term freedom fry used anywhere except on tv. They never stopped being french fries.

fries is goat
shareAlmost everybody I know says French Fries, just fries if they are in a hurry. There was a move a while where some places were calling them Freedom Fries but that went nowhere.
