fries

[unbibium]

In the Flemish-speaking parts of Belgium, French fries are apparently known as Flemish fries.

All Belgium would have had to do was send in a couple of ordinance disposal experts, and we could have foregone that whole Freedom Fries dicketry.

Yeah, I know what word "Flemish" sounds like. Remember all those jokes about the Wii's name? I rest my case.

not even!

Belgium wouldn't have had to contribute a thing for them to be called "Flanders Fries," invoking "In Flanders Fields" in connection with Afghan poppy fields and Veterans Day.

But how would that have spared us any dicketry?
