Yes, I don't trust french bread either.
I've also cut back on french fries.
I'm still boycotting Heinz products indefinitely,and I try to avoid buying crap from S.C. Johnson because S. "Curt" Johnson the third is a spoiled A-hole and as you know it is "a family company". I also don't let my wife get Ben & Jerry's when Blue Bunny is better and costs less. I try to stay away from Nestle also since they tell third world mothers that their formula is better than breast milk. In general I buy American when I can and try to avoid buying stuff built by communist slaves in places like China. In addition my company manufactures right here in the U.S. of A. Apparently I didn't get the memo explaining why it's always better to build in any other country of the world than our own. I secretly love it when my competition is always moaning about how their parts from China were defective, late, or that their supplier stole their design and is now selling a similar product retail at below their contracted purchase price. It is what they reap for paying commies to learn how to make their products while laying off their own American workers. Now if we could just export our lawyers to China we'd leave them in our dust.

Ok, ok, trash the French, trash the French wine, I can join in the fun. Trash the French food and we part ways. ;-)

Unless I was in France I wouldn't buy French bread either. True french bread has NO oil and must be eaten within about 12 hours of when it is made or you could use it for stick ball. It also takes two days to make properly.

The name French fries comes from the 'cut' of the potato and not the country. It's actually a thicker form of the julienne cut. IIRC - they were first made in Italy.

BTW - love the rant

You and I are cut from the same conservative cloth.
