Actually they first made French fries in Belgium, where by the way they use mayo on their fries instead of Catsup. In France they are called "pomme frites" and they use mustard. Do we look dumb or what?

Thank God the elected leaders of our great nation chose to spend the weeks leading up to the invasion of Iraq arguing about fried vegetables instead of researching and planning for war!!

This was just an ignorant idea dreamed up by Karl Rove to bad mouth the people who were opposed to the illegal, immoral war in Iraq. If the French had not fought with us, we would have lost the American Revolutionary War to Great Britain. I like them with Bar-B-Que sauce myself and will always call them French fries.

If you were dying from hunger and someone offered you some French fries, would you turn it down because of what its name was? Maybe you might look dumb if you did, or else it could just be the deliriousness from your hunger making you say such crazy things.

Why do we look dumb? Because we do something different than other countries do?
you look dumb, since you dont know that the name has nothing at all to do with the country. They are called french fries because of the style in which the potatos are cut, which is, a "french" cut.

French fries are fine. Try them with tartar sauce sometime.

Why bring up France at all? it just sours my stomach and gives me the runs.....The Fries are great though!!!
Oh Quit defending the French!!! Anyone who defends the French has never been there or lived there or met the bastards. I'm sick of people who think they know so bloody much about it, just go there!!! Just go there if you think you know so ******* much and I promise you will change you re Goddamn attitude within 24 hours. Take your Karl Rove and Your Iraq agenda and stick 'em up your nether regions. Just go if you love those Dirty Monkeys so Much and you think they are so wonderful but don't you tell me anything cause I know better.

Nobody ever actually called them that other than as a joke, unless they were a moron.
