$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('BBC', 'F')rench fries are back on the menu in the US House of Representatives, three years after the name was ditched in favour of "freedom fries".

House Republicans renamed fries and French toast in 2003 to protest at France's opposition to the war on Iraq.

The patriotic name change hit the headlines at the time but the change back is getting much less coverage.

A House official would only say that fries are no longer being offered under the "freedom" nomenclature...

It should be noted that on most menus they are simply refered to as "fries". I like fried potato better than french fries. I don't have a better name for french toast though. [bread dipped in a mix of egg, sugar, vanila, and nutmeg, then skillet fried.]

I think the irony in all this is...the french don't even call them french fries, they call them "pommes frites". They weren't even invented in France. They originally come from Belgium.
