What's that thing... e__e
Anyway, YOU call that a french something. Like you stole our fries. Blame your lack of imagination, when it comes to name things you steal... ! :)
But, to whom ?... (who ?... whom ?... whoot ?... dammit...)

Forum eating posts again? :P
To my owl friends. :D

That is rich. England used to own half of France, then you stole it. So who is the bigger thief. :-)

(I am not sure why we call French fries French fries, I guess to differ them from the regular chips.)

France used to own all of england. :P

Traitor? I'm British, you angry Viking owl!

And you are manipulating my words, tricky Feathered French Fowl! I said I knew a French girl once who I liked very much - I was paying the French a compliment!

That's the last time I throw you a doughnut... :-(

... How can France steal half of France? o__O *mind explosion*

You could name them something else. Our congress renamed them to "Freedom Fries" ... It didn't catch on, and only lasted like a week :-p

Politicians,wherever they are, are best ignored. Freedom Fries - that's borderline retarded.

Since when? Are you referring to the Norman Kings? Normandy was not part of France in those days. And William I was actually in line for the throne, he also never actually moved that many people from Normandy to England.

The same way you Americans stole America from the native Americans. :-)

Maybe we just wanted to be nice and name them after France?

They were still french speaking and won battles to do so. ;)

Well many places on Earth speak French, places in Africa for example, but that does not make them French. :-)

Hum hum. And the rest of the country agreed with you, and just kept calling them French Fries. Meanwhile, France named American Cheese to "idiot cheese" :-)

But africa is a long way from france, normandy is/was on the mainland. :)

But at that time many people in Northern France also spoke English, so does that mean they were English as well? :-)

Only once they took over England. :p

Snif snif.... you're too mean, Stilton the Viking.
