In North Carolina the owner of Cubbie's restaurant no longer sells french fries. The owner, Neal Rowland, has renamed the fried potato strips "freedom fries" in the light of French officials backing away from a possible war in Iraq.
The sign in the window reads: "Because of Cubbie's support for our troops, we no longer serve french fries. We now serve freedom fries," and Neal says his intent is not to slight France, but to take a patriotic stance and show his support for the US.
"It's our way of showing our patriotic pride," says Neal, who says his business serves a lot of serviceman. Neal says the rename is much like the renaming of food during WWI when anti-German sentiment was high, hamburgers were renamed liberty steaks.

"chips" in the US are "crisps" over here, but "chips" here are big fat fuckoff made-of-potato deep fried fries. The chippers (take-aways, chipshops etc) are Italioan for some reason. Mmm, tastey!

are you implying that by a war with iraq the iraqis wont be free? as if they were free now or something?
its cool to be anti war but the funny part (not you nacmat - just a general statement) most people just bash bush like saddam hussein is some great man, hes a brutal fucking person, yet everyone praises him like hes some victim of bush

No they don't -- in every interview I've ever heard with a person who is anti-war, they have been at pains to point out that they believe Saddam ought to be removed from power.
