ty down 1 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Love pizza or french people love french fries.(by the way what do you call french people?)Have we as a society lowered ourselves to the level of calling a race by what one eats?I love fried porkchops. Is that racist? I wonder what word could Arthur Blank use besides fried chicken too get his main point across, which is don't get fat and lazy.Don't eat fried foods or sit around and do nothing all day, Exercise and keep yourself physically fit mind and body.

ty down 1 Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 I know that what I stated in my topic has a difference between race and nationality. But I ask what is a statement that could be made that's not racist about someone eating food and not getting fat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Herr Beast 1,822 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 ty down (12/12/2007)JayOzOne (12/12/2007)French fries come from Greece.Why would we call them French fries?Why not Irish potatoes fried!As I said above, they come originally from the French speaking part of Belgium. In WWI Belgium was a battle ground between France and it´s allies (incl. the US) and Germany and the fries were already liked in the neighbour countries of Belgium, like France. So American soldiers come in touch with those fries while fighting in France and obviously liked it and so the fries were introduced in the US shortly after WWI. Since most soldiers refered to that war as the "war in France" and they probably thought that the French invented them anyway, they called those fries "French fries"To be honest, French fries are not very "french". They are more popular in Germany/Holland/Belgium. I don´t think French people are very flattered to be associated with fries, because their food is usually more -- let´s say -- sophisticated Anyway, European don´t call them "French fries" of course. The British call them "Chips" (for a reason I don´t know), while the rest of Europe calls them "pommes frites", which actually is the original (French) name of the fries, but as I mentioned, Belgium is a French speaking country Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although in Australia, you walk upto Maccas and ask for "large fries" you will get weird looks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
