Freedom Fries.

Remember when... In 2003, France opposed the Iraq war, and some Americans freaked out and renamed french fries and french toast "freedom fries" and "freedom toast?"

It went so far as that house republicans directed the house cafeterias to change the names on their menus. :plain:

The French response was that "we are in a very serious moment dealing with very serious issues, and we are not focusing on the name [Americans] give to potatoes."

Bob Ney, the republican house representative who'd spearheaded the official food renaming has since pled guilty to conspiracy charges and making false statements during the Abramoff scandal, and resigned.

One restaurant I used to frequent had a sign in the parking lot that said, "What are two things you don't need to take to war ... an accordion and the French."
