Seems like France and Germany have switched positions. Time to bring back French Fries and call our dogs “freedom sheppards”-LOL

Actually, hot dog came about from a similar thing in World War 1, when frankfurters were dubbed hot dogs. The Freedom/Liberty foods didn't last, though (such as Liberty cabbage--sauerkraut, yuck; and Freedom fries). Apparently Americans don't take to overtly politicized food.
They could have renamed French fries potato straws, and maybe that would have stuck.

Time to bring back French Fries a silly aside, but my father, who was in WWI, told me that before that war, what we now called "French Fried Potatoes" were originally called "German Fried Potatoes" ... or is it potatos? ;} - maybe we should just go with "Martian Fried Potatoes" and hope we don't get attacked/disrespected by martians for a long time to come
