I swore off on French bashing when they backed the occupation at the UN. My wife still calls our french poodle a freedle (i.e. freedom poodle), and I guess that one is going to stick.

This entire "French Fry" "Freedom Fry" thing is REALLY embarassing for the united states.

So is the "Idiot Cheese" thing for France.

I have never seen this in my supermarkets. Nor did I see it on TV.

Really?

I remember.......AHA! I remember CNN mentioning that "Idiot Cheese" is quickly becoming the standard comeback to "Freedom Fries".

I'll go to my supermarket today if I have the time (I'm spending the weekend in France) to see if there is anything like that, and I'll ask my mother about it if I remember. But don't hold your breath : I have never heard of "Idiot Cheese" anywhere else than on this board.

We call the fries just french.
ranskalaiset = the french.
ranskalaiset = french fries.
The original ranskalaiset perunat = french potatoes is way too long so it's rarely used.
So we eat french here.

Somehow I got the feeling I'm not the first finn to tell this vital information, maybe first in this thread but...

I suppose it could be a take-off on American Cheese, but I didn't think that many in France would know what it is...

Apparently, the French have recruited woody allen in a "charm campaign" to head off some of the anti-franch sentiment.

quote: May 30— In an effort to win back hearts in the United States, France has commissioned a little schtick from one of America's best-known comedians: Woody Allen.

quote: "I don't want to freedom kiss my wife," says Allen says in a new ad spot. "I want to French kiss her."

Personally, I don't think most Americans want to see him do either one.....

With the important exception, of course, that French/Freedom fries actually taste good, while Idiot Cheese still sucks either way.
