Hahaha.. "Freedom fries". They can't be serious. I'm not even going to mention how utterly moronic it is to change the name of a dish just because France won't support their reign of terror in Iraq.
.. but "Freedom fries"? Is that really the best name American conventialism managed to spew out?
Why not call it "American Fries" in good ol' national tradition? They have "American hamburgers", "American grill"... what's wrong with "American fries"? (or any other name for that matter.)
What about "Nine-eleven Fries", "Death to Osama and Hussein fries", "Does anyone really believe that we're not invading Iraq for the oil? fries"
It's utterly stupid to change the name of "French fries", and it's made even worse by the name they chose.
"Freedom fries"... you know fries make you fat. Doesn't the fact that you're obese limit your freedom to do things?
Next time I go to Burgerking here in Stavanger, (Norway) I'll order a whopper burger with a side of "Lack of freedom" fries.
