..and goodbye to 'Turkish Delight' while you're at it.

Turkey's not exactly cooperative is it? Anyone for 'Pink Liberation Jelly'?

Those neutral Swiss, 'Cheese with holes' (truth in advertising). Swedes not on board? No 'Swedish' meatballs for you, forget 'Swedish' massage. How about them Brazilians and their 'Brazil' nuts.

'Canadian' bacon?
'Scotch'?
'Irish' moss?
'Lebanese' bread?

Anyone want to have a go at relabelling the mountains of food-stuffs soon to be rendered un-nameable in the USA?

And for pete's sake, don't buy any cars made outside of the United States. Hmmm, guess we'll all be walking to the store with American products only! Where is that, by the way? I'm getting hungry.

Poutins are popular here in New Brunswick, Canada and I think they always will be! So there!

Presumably the people coining names like "Freedom" fries are the very same ones who become rabid with politically correct fury and ridicule at the sound of currently politically incorrrect but formerly politically correct words.

Was that confusing? Well, it is, isn't it?

Chips and Belgian fries are two different things

Chips are thicker, fatty and tasteless. Especially in combination with the Fish, and wrapped in yesterdays newspaper.

This are the deepfrozen fries.

And this are the real Belgian Fries.

You guys are not giving proper credit to superficial US protests. Really, we don't make any thing here we just consume so it stands to reason we really cannot be serious in this boycott of things we eat or use from the France or from any other country in the world. It would be way to hard to give up use of any product or the eating of any food from France. It is logical and easy to just re-name french fries and french toast freedom fires and freedom toast.

It is sort of like Reagan National Airport, the only time anyone uses that name instead of National Airport is on the news. The locals always say National and the Metro system in D.C. had to be sued by Reagan lover's to get them to change the signs on stops and maps of the city subway. So there you go, you can advertise a name change but you can not change what the people call something.

You have probably tried it at some point, sometimes names change from country to country.

Turks call this stuff "rachat-lookum". Quite a tasty thing, I tried it in Adana in 1997.

They all look like chips to me! Let's get into them! French or belgian fries - pah!

(with the possible exception of the Turkish delight - to which I'm a tad partial)

I see Mr Stillwater is back on the booze again!
