Whilst in the Netherlands a few years back I learn to love fries, or 
chips if you will, with mayonnaise.

Of course I also love a good poutine!

Be that as it may, back during gulf war two under GWB, the cafeterias 
in the US Capitol renamed French Fries to 'Freedom Fries' in shades 
of the newspeak of 1984. Alex Lester on BBC Radio 2 started a 
campaign, to quote the wikipedia:

Friendship Fries - also known as World Peace Through Chips, this idea 
claims to solve all global conflicts by adding french fries to every 
country's national dish, thereby giving them all something in common..

-----------------------------------

French fries and Sweet and Sour Chicken -- that'll do nicely
