This is the funniest post I've seen in a while. Members arguing over what to call their fried taters and how they differ from the bagged chips. We generally call them fries, but it really depends on where you go. Technically you could call McDonald's fries what they are, it's just that they probably ought to be called something different since they've been frozen before they serve them and have an ingredient list about a page long. This is in opposition to the In-N-Out style of french fry, where you can actually see them cutting up the potato in their restaurant.

So, anyway, uhhh, back to the topic at hand...

You can make a Septagon out of french fries.

I've never got so much criticism for making a joke... I'll be sure that the next one doesn't include fries.

Everyone quit talking about this crap, it was just a joke.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Psh.. The French, can keep their fries


Actually, only the americans call them french fries, the french call them fried potatoes. Only the subjects of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II have it correct calling them "chips".

"sept" is the general prefix or word for seven in pretty much every greek or latin based language, so that's every language in europe bar English and German, both germanic languages.


You have it all wrong.

Chips are like fries but even thinner. We have Chips in america they are crispy thin thin thin sliced potatoes. Fries are deep friend potatoes.

Over in Europe and Asia they usually call it Chips. That makes a lot more sense in my opinion.

He already knew that Eagles. He was merely making the reference to the many names that fries and chips (in the U.S.) go by.

True. But then we have a problem as well.

We should be calling them Belgian Fries, not French Fries.

Nobody's perfect though.

I don’t think McDonald’s fries have potatoes in them at all…

I just call em fries, but i think that French is a reference to how they are cut. You french a potato before you fry it.

And no i don't make out with potatoes! Jeeze you people are sick...

Does that include us Australians? If it doesn't then you're WRONG.

I call them chips anyway.

Canteen is another word for Cafeteria. The military also use the word as a small food shop.

Seriously; I started a thread about what fries are appropiately called in different countries, when in fact I intended to find out if a seven sided figure is called a septagon or heptagon. X )
