"French" fries are actually Belgian in origin, not French. In Belgium they are called ''frites'' and are often served with mayonnaise.
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." 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.
