September 7, 200619 yr Honestly, what does it matter what they're called? Globs of ketchup, mounds of salt, and you're good to go. You really don't need a name for these potato thingies, do you? Call them hoobalagoos if you want! I know I sure will. Btw, in spanish... patatas fritas. Doesn't get much simpler than that. It does: Flemish: friet :D And of course you can't forget the mayonaise like we love. Ketchup messes up the taste. I even like fries without sauce, just a pinch of salt. Well... I meant simpler as in the english translation is not as complicated. Um, actually forgot what I meant. But friet does mean fried... patatas fritas friend potatoes... eh w/e, I'll just stick with my fabricated name -> hoobalagoos. And mayonnaise with them? Never tried it. That might look dirty... I'll have to try that someday. :3> Mayonnaise ftw! We don't rebel to sell it just suits us well, we're the bright young things.
September 7, 200619 yr And mayonnaise with them? Never tried it. That might look dirty... I'll have to try that someday. :3> Mayonnaise ftw! Chips with mayo is really nice, but chips with coleslaw is nicer :P Weren't Americans trying to change the name of Fries to 'Freedom Fries' at one point? :? What happened with that?
September 7, 200619 yr And mayonnaise with them? Never tried it. That might look dirty... I'll have to try that someday. :3> Mayonnaise ftw! yep the dutch do that (my GF is half-dutch, so yea she has them with mayo and yea it does look dirty lol. and oy: with german as your 3rd language and dutch as your 1st, how "different" or "similar" do you find em. i dont really know much dutch, but i know theres quite a bit of similarities. just call em chips ffs :-) babelfish - level 180 60th placestrongguy - level 173 69th place

So if I put on my German accent and speak Dutch, it really sounds like German, even to true Germans :) In the music and movies part, Nadril made a request about translating some Norwegian text. I did it, on gut feeling, and when I compared it to Azvareth's, it was pretty accurate. All Germanic languages are very alike. English is a mixture of different ancient Germanic languages as well, btw. That, and a little French.

And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such.

September 7, 200619 yr I tried fries with bbq sauce recently and it was good.. but that might just be because bbq sauce tastes good ^_^ and it's frites in French it's not a typo, just a wrong language at best =)

September 7, 200619 yr I call them chips, whether they are the deep fried chips, or the salt and vinegar/chicken whatever chips. Chips with some tartae sauce is pretty nice. Or sour cream. :P
September 7, 200619 yr Weren't Americans trying to change the name of Fries to 'Freedom Fries' at one point? :? What happened with that? It was when the French voted against their war on Iraq, in the UN Safety Council. The americans were even trashing fine french wine and champagne bottles by the time. :P ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me
September 7, 200619 yr It doesn't matter where french fries originated from, what matters is that poutine comes from Canada! Oh goodness that looks good...
September 7, 200619 yr Mm.. French Fries.. Aughrugaguhgguh *drool* =P~..But I'm watching my weight. :(
September 7, 200619 yr Well, frites actually come from Belgium :D I don't know why people call them french frites :shame: REAL BELGIAN FRITES ROCK Belgian frites are just sooooo dam good . Thoughts? If this is just another spam-post of me, don't flame just pm me You spelled FRIES wrong. I smell irony. For me, chips are fatter and shorter than fries. I only ever call them fries if they are from McD/BK etc. Otherwise, they are chips. As in, Feesh and cheeps.
September 10, 200619 yr cheese fries... sooo good or fries plain no one here uses "french" fries, its just... fries
