bacab Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 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?

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.

Uldric Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apinagez Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadburys_egg Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
