House cafeterias change names for 'french fries' and 'french toast'?!

Originally posted by WOLFGIR: Hmm, well.. Here we don´t call it french fries, we call it pommes frites or pommes strips. We don´t say french toast, (unless you are at a cafe that wants to charge you extra and look exclusive ) we say Fattiga riddare! Poor knights, very poor knights that can´t afford real food. Apart from that, people have a right to do many things, so when I go to buy some piglet toys I will try to order some freedom fries next time I pass Mac Donalds.. Hmm, interesting.. sounds alittle Scottish.. would that then be er.. hehe, lets not go there...

Yep, I can just picture it, Mel Gibson, clad in tartan and blue crap on his face, riding down the length of an army screaming:

"They may take our fries, but they'll never take, our FREEEEEEEEEEDOM FRIESSSSS!!!!!" [img]graemlins/braveheart.gif[/img]

Exactly Mouse ....

Now acceptable condiments for fried potatoe products:
Katchup (catsup)
Salt
Pepper
Cheese
Gravey
Marinara
Chocolate syrup (a stretch yes, but still acceptable)
Honey

Unacceptable condiments:
Mayonaise
Mustard (mustard based sauses are OK though, like honey dijon)
Mayonaise
Vinegar
Mayonaise
Horse raddish
Mayonaise
Salad dressing
Mayonaise
Did I say mayonaise? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Jeesh, you French people .... at least your cousins in Montreal are more refined in this mannor! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Bah, who cares about accessories. Stay away from fries people, be them the freedom kind or the slavery kind. Guesss I´m taking the easy way out.

To get somewhat back on topic, whatever that is. I have read this entire thread and still don´t have a clue. We started off with topic A, which became tpoic B to be followed by C etc. etc. So to summarize my response to every topic I´ll go ahead and say:

1) Sure they can protest in any way they want to. Changing the name to freedom fries is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. But hey, "the land of the free" should be France now should it not? LOL!
2) Ehh actually 1) covered both topic A and B.
3) Fries shouldn´t be served with anything. In fact, fries shouldn´t be served at all. I never touch the stuff.
4) Topic D seems to be of the nastier kind. To proove my wisdom I´ll keep quiet about that topic. I would perhaps want to point out that a boycott against French products was in place during France´s latest nuclear bomb testing (IIRC). [img]smile.gif[/img] Not that I would like to compare that situation with arguing against a war.

OK that´s all. I think I have covered it all.

How the hell do I know? I've had my share

Woot ! Nice, very nice. Let me give you the next steps :

- Burn french flag in public
- Throw away all french ppl and industries established in the USA or in UK
- Kill them on sight if they resist
- Declare war
- Invade them
- Exterminate them

Then the problem will be solved, won't it ?

Seriously, it's the best alternative.[/QUOTE]You miss my point. I suggested ways of showing that the populace of the USA is disgruntled with the French stance on Iraq. You responded with way over the top rubbish. You notice the *but with better wording*? That was my way of saying *insert well-thought out comment about the political situation here, because I don't have the time sit and write a dissertation just to make a point*.

Anyway, your lot and our lot killing each other on sight and invading each other would hardly be new, would it? We've been taking potshots at each other across the Channel for the last thousand years.

EDIT : D'oh! I see now that this was all addressed on page 4. Ah well, seeing as I'm such a hater of deleting anything, i'll let this stay, but I'll remind myself to read the rest of the thread before replying next time. ah well, you live and learn.
