I don't feel strongly about it. Hell, I don't even care about the damn fries.

 

It's just redundant to have two threads about the same topic.

Index of this forum?

Alas poor Flyboy, you're searching has probably been done in vain, as they are probably too lazy to click that link.

No one calls regular toast french, but pretty much everyone calls french toast just that. Do you not know what french toast is? They're basically bread slices dipped in an egg & milk mixture, then cooked on a skillet or frying pan. They're eaten the same way pancakes are...with butter & syrup.

 

And I think the food renaming is pretty asinine.

Don't tell me you don't know what French Toast is. Don't tell me that you actually think French Toast is just a fancy name for bread toasted in a toaster oven.

 

 

The whole concept of renaming foods as Freedom Fries, Freedom Toast or even Freedom Burgers is retarded. I mean how fucking juvenile do you have to be to believe that this is taking some sort of stand against something. Are the french renaming American Cheese as Redneck Cheese or Pigdog Cheese. Well nevermind the French would never eat shite like American Cheese.

Hmmm, freedom fries + this recent story = coincidence?...

 

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Americans aren't just renaming their french fries these days -- they're actually choosing not to eat them.

 

After being considered a genuine treat by generations of kids, and grown-ups, too, sales of the fried strips of potatoes fell 10 percent in 2002, according to a recent study.

 

The greasy slope on which fries are sliding stems from heavy discounting of other foods like burgers, chicken sandwiches and chili.

 

Since late last year, McDonald's Corp. and Burger King have been duking it out in a price war that has seen burgers and other premium items changing hands for just a dollar as fast-food restaurants try to win back consumers.

 

French fries have been one of the most popular items at fast-food restaurants.

 

"They've (french fries) enjoyed tremendous growth every year for the last decade, but now they're being replaced by anything for a dollar," said Harry Balzer, vice president of the NPD Group Inc., a market research firm that conducted the survey.

 

"Consumers are exercising their choice and pairing up a hamburger with a parfait or a salad from the dollar menu," Balzer said in a statement.

 

Due to the increased popularity of discounted menus, such as McDonald's "Dollar Menu," combination meals that typically feature french fries as part of the package with a sandwich and a drink, are on the wane, NPD said.
