Freedom Fries

I know this is a little late but it came up in a conversation today.

French as in ‘french fries’ has nothing to do with the culture or people. In cooking ‘to french’ is a verb meaning “to cut into thin strips”.

French:
1. To cut (green beans, for example) into thin strips before cooking.
2. To trim fat or bone from (a chop, for example).

To every small cafe that renamed ‘french fries’ to ‘freedom fries’ thinking the french actually care or you were going to cause world peace. Stop, please. You are embarrassing us.

    I know it’s late. That’s why I said, “I know this is a little late but it came up in a conversation today”.
