.DE!
House cafeterias change names for 'french' fries and 'french' toast: The cafeteria menus in the three House office buildings changed the name of "french fries" to "freedom fries," in a culinary rebuke of France stemming from anger over the country's refusal to support the U.S. position on Iraq.
Ditto for "french toast," which will be known as "freedom toast."
[Aparentemente as batatas fritas tanto podem ser belgas como francesas, segundo a "Secret History of French Fries". Mas como ambos os países se opõem aos Estados Unidos neste caso, lembrem-se de pedir "freedom fries" nos States...
Ainda em termos de alimentação, qual será o nome das futuras saladas no McDonald's?]
[act.:] She has bones to pick with France: Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, R-Brooksville, plans to introduce a bill today proposing that the families of the thousands of soldiers, sailors and airmen buried in France and Belgium be allowed to dig up their remains and have them shipped home.
