MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Florida, March 26 (AFP) - Add President George W. Bush's official Air Force One airplane to the list of spots where "French" toast has come off the menu due to Franco-US tensions over Iraq.
Reporters flying here Wednesday with Bush aboard the modified Boeing 747 were offered "freedom toast" stuffed with cream cheese and garnished with strawberries for breakfast.
Eateries around the United States -- including the House of Representatives' cafeterias -- have been replacing the "French" in "French fries" and "French toast" with "freedom" to signal anger over Paris' opposition to the war.

Ha ha ha. Good one!
I had a "Freedom" Dip sandwich the other day. The waitress knew exactly what I was ordering even though it didn't say that on the menu.

This is stupid. It should not be "freedom" toast or fries; it should be "French Cut Fries" and "Mr. French Toast"--those names explain why the foods are called "French" when they do not come from France.

A better new name for the "French Dip" would be the "Chirac"

Message to the french..............
If your being boycotted on Air Force One, what do you think your chances are of winning lucrative rebuiding or oil contracts in post-war Iraq?
