<hr />
<div>French fries are a food made from [[potato]]es. They are very popular in [[America]], and in England they are called "chips". French fries are often eaten with the addition of [[ketchup]], as many believe that this improves the flavor. <br />
<br />
"French" fries are actually Belgian, not French. In Belgium and the Netherlands they are called ''frites'' and are often served with mayonnaise.<br />
<br />
Near the start of the [[Iraq War]], a wave of anti-French sentiment briefly swept the United States over [[France]]'s refusal to join or support the U.S.-led "coalition." As a protest against France, for a while the Congressional cafeteria refused to use the name "French fries," serving them under the substitute name "Freedom fries".[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,80700,00.html] The name "Freedom fries" was occasionally used by other U.S. establishments that wished to express support for the war, but did not catch on.</div>Goats
